Perfect For smaller springs but running low Tue, 20 Oct 2009 03:28:45 GMT Neil http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/friendsofdigicomp/message/1650 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/friendsofdigicomp/message/1650 I found some 'music' wire at a local hobby shop which looks like it will be good for replacements. Three meters of the heavy gauge and 6 of the lighter one Tue, 22 Sep 2009 06:41:16 GMT Neil Morrison http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/friendsofdigicomp/message/1649 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/friendsofdigicomp/message/1649 Thank you!

WAY smaller! .006" to .007". Check your local hobby store to see if they have music wire that small. If not, a guitar or other musical instrument store Mon, 21 Sep 2009 00:10:41 GMT neils_morr http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/friendsofdigicomp/message/1645 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/friendsofdigicomp/message/1645 Can someone measure the diameter of the springs that hold the front rods back? I'm guessing about 1/32" diameter but more exact would be better.
