         Post some pics of the syrup tank with the lid off and underneath the dispenser with the drip pan off so I can see the fitting and float.
         Show me a close up of the nozzle area where the soda comes out so I can see if you have the syrup orifice.

Pics as requested, also got a part that I have no idea what it does.

That dispenser looks really nice.  I have one with a "very high level of patina"  that I thought about making into a flower planter for the front porch.  Its missing some parts, but it does have some of the internal pieces.  Mine has past the point of ever being functional, so if you find you are missing any parts, post a pic and if I have it on mine I would be happy to donate it to the cause of creating a functional machine.

Here's some links to the stuff you need. These are from a e-bay seller and can easily be had cheaper so keep that in mind.
If you find a used carb let me look at it before you buy it. The McCann's I posted a link to is the preferred carb to buy, very reliable. You should be able to find a good used one for around $100.
I'll send you the washer you need when you get all the stuff.
Your machine looks like it has a female inlet fitting for the soda water unless that is the broken off remains of the original block tin fittings.

CO2 regulator,

Carbonator,

Fitting,
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HOSE-BARB-1-4-ID-X-1-2-MPT-HEX-BREWING-316S-S-HB602-/200527392616?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb05d2f68

Once you get a carbonator purchased I'll tell you what fittings you need to hook it up. I could probably make them for you as I have all the stuff on hand.
Good news is you do have the float and syrup orifice.

I had to go dig out one of my super's in the garage to refresh my memory.

Your machine had the sweet little soda shutoff connected in that fitting which you are missing but not to worry as it's not really needed.

I'll post some pictures tonight when I get home and show you where that piece goes, and show you what the original drip pan and grate looks like.

I purchased the fitting and the CO2 regulator.

I found a carbonator locally listed for $100. Tell me if this one looks good or will work.

Kaleid,
      That carb will be fine as long as it works, don't run it without water connected and turned on. $100 is really good for that Big Mac. It hasn't been abused too bad. biggrin

      If you want to check the motor just loosen the clamp holding the pump to the motor and pull it forward off the motor so it can't engage while you plug it in, tank also has to be empty of water or it won't run. You should be able to tell if it has water in it. You will also have to remove the stainless line from the pump to the tank to allow it to move forward, don't lose the conical washer when you remove it.

      Here's some pics of my Super and all the parts.

Here's the picture of the part you were wondering about, it rests in the back side of the base and clamps the rear of the unit to the counter with the other bracket.

It slides up and down to adjust for different thickness counters.

This is the piece your missing but don't really need, it a handy little soda shutoff that you just screw in the screw and it pinches the rubber insert and shuts off the flow.

Beware though! if you have the syrup tank full and you shut off the soda water the handle drops and your syrup starts to drain out.  help This is due to the fact that the pressure holds the handle up, when you take it away the handle is so heavy it drops which allows the syrup to flow. Think about it, your standing there playing with your machine and all of a sudden your expensive syrup starts draining all over everything, easy fix just hold the handle up, problem is finding a clean container while your holding the handle.  biggrin  One of my fondest memories is doing this exact thing at a S.S. Kresge's soda fountain, only difference is I had three handles to hold up and customers all around me at the bar to visit with. biggrin
