The 5, 11, 1 and 7 supports.
I don't see a way to buy this from eagnas website. Any ideas?

I heard about Eagnas sales. I will say nothing as suggested.Call Victor at Eagnas and order them (if available). Don't elaborate, especially if it is a second hand (bought used) machine.
If you do, he likely won't sell them to you. He's a piece of work....
I was thinking this way. But I don't have any of them in my hand.Why not take one off and go to Lowes or Home Depot? They're plastic rollers with a bolt thru the hole. Look in Cabinetry or other hardware. With the assembly in hand, it should be easy to find something.
These parts are side supports and would need some sort of tightening.any number of things would work. a man could easily fashion something even better out a couple small blocks of some hard wood.
no joke.
Lowe’s has wooden dowel rod in various sizes. Drill for bolt and good as new. No dealing with Victor!These parts are side supports and would need some sort of tightening.
I went to Harbor Freight Tools but there were none that I could try fitting.
Wooden piece would be first thing to try.
I sent an email with photo of the parts.You can do everything via email with Eagnas. Send them an email with your machine picture, number of parts you want, and model of machine. They will get back to you with cost of part plus shipping. You then email back with credit card info along with name, address, etc. The process worked fine for the part I needed.

Research and design is always more costly upfront. This is one of those case where it is possible might improve on the existing parts. It seems to me the hose material will be better than the plastic pieces as it will have more friction to hold the racquet in place, less likely to mar a racquet surface and the cost would be probably less than $1.00 to change out all four pieces. Hopefully @Folsom_Stringer_Musa will report back if it worked or not.It's highly possible you will succeed and maybe even improve on the parts,
There is a problem with this. I bought this Electronic machine for $100When i spend SO much time trying to substitute something "else" for the real McCoy,
I often wish i'd have quit wasting so much of it and just bought the Original part to begin with.
Been there, done that.....and it's rarely worth it.
Good luck in your search to retrofit and save a few bucks. Time is money.
It's highly possible you will succeed and maybe even improve on the parts,
but it's not likely.....you could have been stringing already.
My .02 cents.
Thanks for the suggestion.You will want to ask for vacuum tubing. Measure the diameter of the pieces you want to replace. Hopefully you can find hose that similar in size. If the inner diameter is too large, but the outer is okay, you could go to a pet store and get aquarium tubing to fill the space to make a snugger fit for the bolt.
Totally agree with you!Research and design is always more costly upfront. This is one of those case where it is possible might improve on the existing parts. It seems to me the hose material will be better than the plastic pieces as it will have more friction to hold the racquet in place, less likely to mar a racquet surface and the cost would be probably less than $1.00 to change out all four pieces.

Now this tiny parts cost me $90
Hope you realize why I am not buying those parts yet.
