    Default Does anyone have pix of Maruto GMX

    If anyone has some pictures of a Maruto GMX Firebird ball indexer (loader) could you please post some pictures here or PM me. The Maruto I have is missing the linkage that indexes the balls into the shooting position. I have jury rigged a rubber band fix temporarily (see pix). It appears that the linkage, and whatever bracket held said linkage, are missing and may have been broken off, as I can't see where the linkage bracket would have been attached to the machine.
    The rubber band fix works however it slows the loading speed a little bit, but just the fact that its such a jury-rigged fix is driving me nuts. If I had some pix of what the original set up was I'm confident I could fabricate a proper one.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    looks like someone is selling this machine in fair oaks (above sacto)

    maybe they'd send you a picture of the back?

    I checked all my machines and pix and didn't find one that matched the mechanics of yours. that metal the rubber band is attached to is interesting. Can you open the play tray door and shoot a picture?
