Oh, and I’m going to get one of these… e class="onebox allowlistedgeneric" data-onebox-src="https://www.webstaurantstore.com/san-jamar-c754apl-female-dispenser-bracket-with-screws-for-mounted-cup-dispensers/712C754APL.html"\> ![](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/0/e/0ed52078ed0bd3fc2da5d991e8d1bf2fefedab26.png)[WebstaurantStore](https://www.webstaurantstore.com/san-jamar-c754apl-female-dispenser-bracket-with-screws-for-mounted-cup-dispensers/712C754APL.html) ![](https://discdn.gbfans.com/optimized/3X/7/6/768a27f06ba359766abf5774368f09b78784becb_2_500x500.jpeg) ### [San Jamar C754APL Female Dispenser Bracket with Screws for Mounted Cup...](https://www.webstaurantstore.com/san-jamar-c754apl-female-dispenser-bracket-with-screws-for-mounted-cup-dispensers/712C754APL.html) Keep your mounted cup dispenser against the wall or underneath your countertop with the San Jamar C754APL female dispenser bracket! This dispenser bracket lets you mount your dispenser where you need it so you can keep using it throughout the day,... Price: USD 2.39 …as I think it should work with the Matty [v-hook](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/v-hook), even though its the same exact thing… It should be able to nest one right over the other… I’ll let you know my results when it comes. ---

> [@syckotheklown](#): > > Anyone else with the mattel wand turn it on and the tip extends and then retracts without being prompted? Yes. Having been a “supplier” to many ‘clients’ in Europe, I ordered a total of 12 [Neutrino Wands](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-neutrino-wand), all told. The ‘motor issues’ with the wands was an issue with many of them. Even the one I bought for myself has a ‘tentative’ motor. The first time you try to extend it, it goes _almost_ all the way out… but not quite, and won’t ‘fire’. A second press of the extend lever, the tip retracts. Upon the second try (and every time thereafter), the tip extends as far as it’s supposed to, fires, and retracts normally when the lever is pushed to do so. Seems these tip-motors need to be ‘warmed-up’ to work right. Or ‘broken in’ at the very least. ---

Thank MadKidJedi. Personally, I love the Matty wand. Although, I think that vibration feature should have been equipped with an off switch. Other than that. I’m going to be using it for my first pack build this year. The pack will have lights, but next year ill upgrade it with a sound kit, and proper thrower. ---

> [@gumbyx84](#): > > MadKidJedi and jdraimer, where either of you able to try the Dispenser Bracket MadKidJedi linked to? No… I actually abandoned the idea when I decided I could fairly easily build a “Spengler Hook” [V-Hook](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/v-hook) myself from some pieces of aluminum I picked out of the trash at work.
