Terry I once used typewriter springs but good luck finding a typewriter repair shop to salvage them from. Might go garage sale hunting though.

I don't have any broken ones on this 1867 S&S square that I am working one, but seems to me that as long as I'm replacing the cords, I might as well replace the springs. Seems I recall running across some broken ones years ago on other squares. Very thin metal springs - certainly 147 years is enough for them to have deteriorated a bit. Yes? No? Source? Get out the spring-making tool? Terry Farrell -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
