Sources for springs?
Awl--
At times I need springs for prototypes, usually compression. I have Lee Springs out by me in Brooklyn, NY, and I use Century Spring, who has an extensive catalog of springs. But the prices!!!! Goodgawd, you can get weak at the knee--a little bitty spring, like what you'd find in a camera shutter or a bic click pen, can be $4-5!! For ONE!! Man, now I save every spring from every pen I come across.... For non-critical/exact specs/geometries, a good hardware store has a stack of parts drawers w/ a good selection, if you don't need die springs or anything too fine, at a relative bargain price. And I've had springs made, in relatively short runs, for very good prices. But one'sies/two'sies are killers. Any idears? Sources?? ---------------------------- Mr. P.V.'d formerly Droll Troll |
