I'm looking for a source of helper or raise assist springs for an early 1980's Franklin steel?
The guitar I'm looking at doesn't have any fitted, so I don't have an example to look at.
I've heard many people comment that Franklin's play really well; a great pedal/lever feel - those guitars I assume have helper springs.
Could anyone suggest a good reason why the springs might have been removed or not fitted?
Many thanks

I have an early 80's Franklin (Split Tail S/N 65), with helper springs. The springs are relatively stiff.
I should have some pictures. I'll try to find them and post. |

Here is two pictures taken while disassembling and cleaning the E9th changer, last year.

| Yes, I see, the second picture shows them hooked and the first picture shows one unhooked. And non-adjustable... I'll need just the right spring there. Thank you for the pics and help Jack. |
