Default Logik VR950 (Rebadged Samsung VI611?) cam follower gear broken

I've just been given this video recorder. It's clearly been stored in damp conditions, and has some rust on the capstan flywheel, but apart from that it was just all seized up with old grease, and the belt has perished.

I managed to free everything up, but annoyingly in doing so I broke the cam follower gear arm thingy, where the metal follower pin pushes through the plastic (see picture).

Seeking opinions on the best way forward here. Would a repair with superglue or epoxy be strong enough? Or have I just signed the death warrant for the machine?

Would be a pity to junk it as it's in very nice cosmetic condition.
