Pulled out my gumball machine for the first time only to find the two back mounting "tabs" are busted.. haven't had any issues with it, but if one of the remaining two tabs were to break, this thing basically wouldn't be secured to the playfield. Anyone know how to either fabricate an appropriate repair, or is there someplace that has repro gumball bodies? I haven't seen em anywhere if they exist...

I've never seen them either. Just seen the whole thing on ebay for a arm and a leg.

could you not attach something stronger on their, I replaced the brackets for the bumpers on my jackbot with a bit of metal to reinforce them as they broke, I know plastic is not metal but someone out there would of done this

as its not visible I would just do what Mato said and reconstruct it. or just plastic weld it.. the unit gets no "stress" I would assume that someone smashed it while moving the playfield - I dont see how it would blow up like this otherwise. I have owned 3 of them in various shapes .. one was a very routed operator machine and everything was damaged somehow ...but not the gumball.

I may actually have a housing soon... I'll know more on Friday when I pick up my TZ.
