Tension Springs for Drive Cords?

[Geaney]

Guys, any ideas on sources for tension springs for dial drive cords? On the Grundig I'm working on I don't have all of them and the drive mechanism seems particularly sensitive to the cord tension. I found a spring in my junk box but it's too strong so the mechanism slips. I spent ages pulling the spring to reduce the tension and it's working now but I wouldn't bet on its longevity. If any of you folks know where one can procure such things I'd be very grateful.
Cheers, John

Thanks Roger, worth adding these to the spares kit I'd say. I'll try eBay first.

Hello John, is it a 3028? if so I have a scrap set in the loft, if it is, let me know and I will have a look.

HI Paul, yes it's a 3028. I've used a spring I had lying around but the tension is not right so I can't be sure if this is why the drive slips occasionally. BTW, I'm also on the hunt for a glass dial - mine's damaged. I found a scan of the German version online but not the English one.

All help greatly appreciated.
Cheers, John

Hello John, had a look, unfortunately the dial glass has broken, but drive cord and springs are intact, anything else you need, apart from minus main speaker or valves, F.O.C. just postage if for a few pieces and it is heavy,

Thanks Paul,
Hang on to the FM drive cord springs for me. I'll PM you address details, etc. Once I get the beast fired up I'll know if there are any other parts I might need - hopefully not.
Cheers, John
