I've got a question for the game show home game geeks out there about the original Family Feud home game released by Milton Bradley from the late '70s to the mid '80s. There is a small, yellow corkscrew looking device for the back of the game board that I believe holds the survey sheet inside properly. Unfortunately, I lost that piece some time ago and I was wondering if there was a "hack" or someway to make a homemade replacement?

No, it was a knob that raised the sheet a half-inch so that two questions (or a question and Fast Money) could be shown on side of a sheet. (So if that's what you mean by "holds properly", then sure. Sets the sheet to the proper elevation for teh question.)
I don't see why you couldn't fashion one out of a properly-diamatered piece of dowel, a dab of hot glue, and a piece of appropriately-thin balsa wood if you knew the proper dimensions (and I don't) and were handy with a knife.

Or if you're like me and totally maladroit at that sort of thing pick up another copy from a thrift store or eBay. There were a bunch of them up through the end of the CBS run

Borrow one from a friend and use a 3D printer to make a new one.

YEAH, SPOCK.

See, this was the first thing I thought of, but I decided it would be a trollish thing to say.
So, yeah.

Or contact me at ottinger@acd.net and I'll send you one.

I suddenly had a vision of a labeled drawer full of these at Matt's home. "Oh, you need a slider for one of the windows, too? Okay, let me go over to 42-C."

Maybe he has a 3D printer as well.

The public library in my small town has a 3D printer, so it's not that far fetched.

Good, get to work making the model then.

Double bonus is it means he's not posting here.

Not nice, Travis

Thank you all for your suggestions...3D printing and all. However, I've decided to contact Matt and we'll take it from there. Mr. Ottinger, if you're reading this, thank you for your kind offer (and "Sodboy13", I more or less had the same mental image).
