Anyone have or know where I can get the top plastic cover piece for the wowie zowie gumball machine?

I have recentally found a old Astro Oak vending machine and restored it and cleaned it. I bought Gumballs that fit in the wheel, but while vending with all the gumballs put into the machine (about 150) I’ve noticed if I put in 25 cents, many gumballs will come out sometimes.I’ve adjusted the wheel by unscrewing the Three Phillips head screws multiple times and rearranging them but I can’t figure it out. Some help would be greatly appreciated and I will attach some photos! Thank you in advance

SSF Gumball machine won't constantly dispense my Gumballs.
SixStriker posted a topic in Bulk Vending
So I recently just bought two SSF Candy/Gumball machines. I have one head that is dispensing M&M and it works fine! But the other won't constantly dispense my gumballs! They are from the 850 pack of Gumballs. What ends up happening is it will send the first one or two through. But after that it just stops and gets stuck. I don't know why the gumballs won't go down. Help? -
I'm sure this has been answered but I had no luck finding it. Are the small Carousel machines on the decorative looking black stands any good? What would you pay for one used if you're just starting? Thanks!

From the album: Performa Vending Machines
This is my monster-sized Victor Jr. Giant gumball machine. It has a spiral of sorts inside, and it's very eye catching. One of my biggest, tallest machines to date. -

Does size really matter? We've all participated in those conversations. But what about gumballs? I've often wondered if people buy the gumball because it is big? What if they had say, 2 smaller gumballs at a lower price? Which one would they choose? I decided to find out for myself. I bought 6 chicklet wheels from Ebay that only vend 2 at a time. I bought some 1/2" gumballs and tried them in the wheel. Works perfectly. Every time. I can get the 8500ct gumballs for $26.90 and I'm guessing the shipping would be about $14. So 40.90 for the box of 8500 pieces or 4250 vends. Cost per vend is almost exactly 1 cent. If I vend them for a dime that gives $425 gross per box. Net is 384.10 per box. That's a hefty increase over what a box of 850ct will bring. Now all I need are some .10 mech's and I'm ready to roll. Wait I already have them out in the garage in a box. I took them out of machines to put in a .25 mech's. So, I have everything I need. So, does size really matter? We'll all find out in a month or two. Just hang on to those ten cent mech's. Somebody just may need them. 2/26/2011 Update I have 1 machine out and should have another located within the week.
