Seek Small Lot Coil Spring Manufacturer
By David Krall

Recommendations are solicited for a commercial spring manufacturer
to make the tiny return springs for the solenoid magnets of the
Telektra piano player system.

I wish to put new springs on the magnets for my Telektra. Uniformity
of tension is important for proper expression. The old springs need
replacing. For reference, in the photo the length of the coil is 3/8".

I got a quote from one manufacturer and now I am recovering from a
heart attack: $4.50 each -- yikes! As I am in the process of restoring
a second Telektra system I want to order 200 of them (88 plus spares
for each system).

Thanks,
Dave Krall
