Got my 7 year old a $20 deluxe set for xmas a well.
I don't remember how the big ring was held down when I was a kid, but set came with some silly tacky gum crap. "spiro putty. pfft. sucks.
IIRC, there was a flat, red plastic thing which sat underneath the paper and had 2 projections which poked through the paper into the big ring and held it in place.
Edit: after reading Joe's post I guess there was more than 1 way they did this.

All my kids are real live kids.
No substitutions, although considered upgrades and replacements a few times.

Absolutely! Spent hours Spirographing. And this online one is very cool.

I remember at least one, possibly more of them kicking around in some state of incomplete or brokenness.... so technically I had one but couldn't begin to tell you what the value of it may have been.

Never had one but who needed a fancy-schmancy machine to make art?
I had plenty of pencils and crayons and my imagination.

That "cross" insert piece always intimidated me.
