Wood Gumball machine

I purchased my first ShopSmith in 1979 and I believe it came with plans for a wood gumball machine made from a 2x4 block 3 1/2 X 3 1/2 on a 1x6x5" base. It had a hole in the top where you could place a mason jar and a dowel coming out of the front of the 2x4 with a porcelain knob attached. Between the 2x4 & 1x6 there is a dowel pin & the dowel with the porcelain knob has a routed track. I need the measurements on the pin and routed track. I have one base left and have photo attached but do not want to tear up to get measurements.
Is it possible someone has these old plans?

I've got one in a magazine at home I'll try to remember to look for it.

I think this is what you want. It's from the Sept/Oct 1980 issue of Hands On!.

Here's one from Hand's On Magazine Sept/Oct 2000. I'd post a pic, but I can't right click with the iPad.
