If your friend is capable of making one, I suspect they can also identify the thread send them the broken one to copy.

If you need to measure it then I suspect it is an imperial thread, and this article covers the method https://www.wikihow.com/Measure-Thread
TT, AKA Pete, but that name is taken :-)

It looks like it's off a Record lathe so it might be worth contacting them to ask if they have spares.
