[Collins] help, broken spring

[Uwe Egen]

Hello,
Yes, first I asked a local dealer but this spring seems
to be scarce here. Rule of the shop 'buy fast sell fast'
rare items are completely out of store.
As a Collins enthusiastic I try to replace parts close
as possible to the original.
Thanks to all respondings from David, Jim, Bob W6BOB and=20
Larry W0OGH.
It's a great reflector here and may be later on, I will=20
say 'need something' again during repair my 32S-3.=20
Switching on the 516F-2 generates vy high plate voltage=20
(1200V) strong noise hum etc - suppose a choke is out.=20
I must take a deeper look but need time, sri.=20
Proposition 26 hours per day will be much better - hi.
Best wishes to all
