If it snapped and broke it has probably had it. I just looked at ebay and there were several on there, one was buy it now for around 80 bucks. I don't know what condition yours is in or what it cost, but they seem fairly plentiful, all you need is a real cheap one that doesn't have to even work, and pirate the arm. Also, you might contact "the turntable factory". I don't mean the factory it was made, I mean a turntable repair/sales/supplies type of place. I believe it is www.theturntablefactory.com, but google it if not. If anyone might have such a part laying around,it would be him. Very popular turntable repair/tuning reasonably done. Or if it could be fixed, he could probably fix it. Perhaps you have an insurance claim of some sort? or crappy packing by seller? sometimes in shipping, no matter how well packed an item can be obliterated. If ebay, they have some dispute resolution of some sort if the seller is to blame. Hopefully you had it insured? Turntables are the most damage prone component for shipping, unless very carefully packed, preferably in the original packing boxes and materials. The arm should be secured in some fashion if mounted to the table with a twisty tie so it doesn't fly all around in shipping.
