I have a couple of rigs (NC-57) and I need a source for the dial cord springs.

Thanks for any help

I have used the springs from a ball point pen before. But I am sure there
must be better suggestions out there.

It was pointed out to me that the renound Bill Turner offers them on his web
site:

I was lucky enough to pick up a old broken LLoyds transistor clock radio that
had a usable spring for the snooze button. So now I only need one of the six I
order from Bill

Hardware stores often have spring assortments. I saw some springs at the
local ACE hardware store which would be useable.

Salvage an old VCR or tape deck. They usually have several good springs.

Yes, the local ACE hardware store will have assortments. Its easy to buy a
long expansion spring, and to cut sections from it. The end loops for
tieing
off the dial cord can be made by bending out the end loops on the spring
coils. Now, to find good round dial cord...
