Hello everyone!

For a Microtecnica Conti2, I'm looking for the spring in the pictures at the links, it seems to be cut or broken at the bottom end. Anyone has one available for sale, or a link to some (best if) european web site selling it?

Thanks!

Hi Federico,

It is just a spring, pushing a pin, in a cylinder. Any spring that fits and will hold the heaviest record against the gripper bow and yet light enough that the motor doesn't seize trying to compress it should be fine.

According to the G through Continental II parts manuals that spring is part number F-2102.

Use a micrometer to measure the diameter of the spring wire and find another spring of similar diameter wire and cut to length...

We all usually have a junk pile of springs.
