Quoted from Cmjb13:I was replacing the star posts and a couple of the "claw holders" broke that allow the screws to go into them.
Is there a specific term for these?[quoted image][quoted image]
Those are called t-nuts. It is common for these to break during removal on System 11 games like Diner because they were threadlocked (like a blue glue) into place during manufacture to prevent them coming loose during play. I hate that this was done and always have a few break on me. Gottlieb Sys 3 games have this issue too.
Relatively easy to replace if you have them on hand.
