Well, here I sit with my Edeophone open, staring at a spring that has lost its spring. It's not broken but it is bent and has no tension. This is the first time this has happened to me and I'm slightly in shock!
However, I have my old knackered tutor also open and I'm wondering if I can just take a spring from that. It won't be nice and shiny like the rest, but it won't be broken either (hopefully). Also open is my copy of Dave Elliott's repair book.
Time to make a cup of tea and then see if I can get a spring out of the tutor without breaking it. Wish me luck, I'm a bit scared.
Any helpful advice along the way would be much appreciated.
