In which ya boi Tonkus can't find a tiny enough spring to fix his ebay junk. · 7:56am Apr 30th, 2021
Gotta love it when the retention spring on 40+ year old hardware has been sitting for so long that it's lost its springiness. I tried bending the thing into a shape that'd let it work again, but the wire itself that the spring's made from is so degraded that the whole spring looks like it's a gust of wind away from disintegrating. I can't find any replacement torsion spring small enough to replace it, so I might just go with mutilating a paper clip until it's the right shape. :P
