Twilight Zone
Bally, 1993Missing the clear plastic blade in my gumball machine. Shown on many US supplier's catalogs, but all out of stock.
Anyone have a used one they don't need?
Alternately, if I can't buy one, can someone email me a tracing of the piece and I'll make my own?
Tired of getting 3-ball LITZ because the other 3 balls are jammed in the machine.....
Already looked :

same as MadAmusements - shown in catalog, but says not available.
This sounds like a good candidate for a 3d printer.
or just cut out the shape in a piece of plexiglass. Get a sheet the correct thickness and cut it out with a hand saw or jigsaw.
Of course you will need to have someone get you the exact dimensions.
I just realized thats why my gumballs were jamming up.. just purchased instock $5 at http://bayareaamusements.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=GS-TZ8887
Thanks Norcal. My machine suddenly started having the issue and I "found" that divider in there and couldn't figure out how it attached, but one side broke off! I just ordered on from Bay Area Amusements and will keep them for future (hopefully not needed!!!) needs.
My original manual doesn't even show that part so I am assuming that it was an add-on somewhere along the way but then I saw the piece in various on-line pics.

Quoted from libtech:1/8" plexi, hope this helps!

I know this is an old post but thank you so so much for posting this photo!! My gumball machine was not functioning properly and balls kept getting jammed...I took the photo, calibrated the photo and created a 3D print of the part! Gumball machine is perfect now!
