take the sleeve off of one of them
I do not own my machine any longer but is this it

maybe maybe not one search showed it under pinbot but in details it does not.
I was thinking it was just a straight post with no divot but cannot find your part reference number.
Take a look at pic 52 on this here.

I don't believe that's the original part. Without checking, I'm pretty sure that post originally had a female threaded top.
I know it's a 6/32 base.
Similar to this:

That, however, is not the correct size.
it looks more like this one:

Thanks for the help guys. I may just end up replacing it with the #10 base since this part seems to have issues with getting beat up.
But if anyone has a line on the original I would still like to figure out what it is.
I know sometimes they change things from they print the flyers. but on page 3 of the pinbot flyer you can see they are the mini post.

Interesting. Every one I've seen has a sleeve there. I guess the mini-post was the original design.
Hmm... the plot thickens. Looks like on the flyer only the post between the eyes has a sleeve on it too, the other two are also minipost with white rings. Interesting, as that makes every other picture I've ever seen wrong.
This gets back to my question in a different thread; how do you know what is "right"? And how much does it matter?

Mine still has the pointy post and rubber grommet...but most of the machines I've seen (and most pics on ipdb) have a sleeve. Perhaps it takes such a beating that operators replaced them with a sleeve so they don't have to replace the rubber every visit.
The pics of jackbot on ipdb show the pointy post and grommet
Quoted from dieseldogpi:Did you ever figure out what piece goes here?
Haven't yet. Whatever was there before broke off so I need to remove a bunch of stuff from the underside to get the t-nut out. Another entry on my long list of things to do
