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.<br><br>Yes?  No?<br><br>Source?<br><br>Get out the spring-making tool?<br><br>Terry Farrell</div></blockquote></div></td></tr></table>
