Mark, Yes, Steinway sells these springs separately. There are two different gauges of wire, one for bass and one for treble. I believe the sets contain enough of both for an entire set of reps. Also, it's not really all that time consuming. On an older piano as you have there, simply rebush the rep post gang-style (i.e., with one long strip of bushing cloth threaded through the post-hole of several reps), with springs in place of course. After you slice them all apart, insert center pins to solidify the joint. Use glue sparingly on the cloth if you like, but I don't think it's really necessary. The time it takes is well worth it!
