Les, I want some of what you and Joe are smoking... LOL 
Actually the smoking part fits in to how I keep track of 
springs - with hemostats. I've yet to find the right ballast 
tube to fit my curved pair of hemostats, it uses a different 
type than the non-curved. I hear the non-curved are worth 
more if it has a certain name stamped on it. 
 
Praise be to Art
