Broken lift arm....What to do?

[toberlindacher]

The lift arm was catching on my Wurlitzer 2150.  I looked closer to find out why and saw that the actual arm was broken near the tip.  The set screw is missing and the tiny bracket sways back and forth which was catching on the record holders.  Please see the pictures.  I'd like to repair it but wanted to get some opinions on what to do here.  Hopefully I'm not screwed with this.

Another question:  How do I remove the duck bill guides?  I see a little pin and bracket.  Is there a C Clip on the end.  Hard to see.  Thanks for any advice here.

Quick way to remove them, small amount of C-4, and a match ! Other the that-- I prop up the lift arm with a vise-grip underneath the mech shelf, and un-screw it, carefully- others like to remove the basket, first--but I'm too lazy for that ! See your parts book for a "layout"-- "Duck Bill plastics" are available still--ask the suppliers listed in our FAQ's section-- Hint: Unless you consider yourself to be VERY, lucky, I would suggest you also purchase a new spring -- You might want to purchase the later (improved) holder, too ?
