Q: Do you guarantee the machine and all parts are original? Why is the spring and spring cover off seperate?
A: Hi..To my knowledge all parts look original but I’m not a gum ball expert. About the spring: I do not know anything about the spring like where it goes its just a part of the parts. I hope this answers your question..

Q: So the machine pictured with the globe IS NOT THE MACHINE for sale, right?
A: HI……Yes you are right..I have no globe to put on the machine so it can’t be put together..The picture shows what it will look like once you have a globe.

Q: Is the globe hold down ring missing? I can see the globe cover but no hold down ring.
A: Hi I think you are talking about the retainer that holds the globe rods. The ring was under the lid when I took the pictures sorry.
