  The ideal tool for the semicircular damper spoons would be a spoonbender 
with the slot on the _right_ so it would fit _inside_ the curve of the 
spoon wire.  I spoke to the folks at Schaff about producing such a tool and 
they said there was not enough demand for it.  I have modified a 
conventional spoon bender by heating the head till the solder softened, 
rotated it 180 degrees and re-soldered it to the shaft.  Only time will 
tell if that design works.
