Re: Springs and such

[Bill <Y1TopBanana73@xxxxxxxxx>]

As far as springs go, I'm thinking about replacing too. Mine are so
original that they still have canvas as the anti-rub pads on the ends
of the smaller leaves! Not that I'm going for concours but where could
I go to get such a thing again if I wanted to? Worse comes to worse
I'll replace w/ plastic.
