[GreenKeys] Springs

Hi All:

In going over the Fairchild Teletypesetter Standard 
Perforator which arrived today, it looks as though almost 
all of its springs are going to need to be replaced due to 
rust damage.

Does anyone know of any company who sells a really good 
assortment of small extension springs in sizes similar to 
those used in teletype equipment?

I have just been through a google search, and most kits are 
available with extension, compression, and torsion springs 
all in one kit. For this use, as all springs are extension, 
buying one of these would be wasteful.

Sure appreciate it if anyone knows of a suitable kit with 
useful teletype sized.

The Teletypesetter Standard Perforator unit was originally 
designed by Morkrum-Kleinschmidt just around the time they 
became Teletype Corp, then made for a while by 
Teletypesetter Corp and offshoot, and then sold to 
Fairchild.

It is in bad shape, but I think repairable if I can find a 
spring source.
