Sorry...but then think about the fun you had finding out!
I stripped it down tonight and removed the mainspring...There was a goodly amount of crud under it...I was kind of apprehensive about getting it back in...Thor had mentioned that putting them back in can test your patience...But with the frame clamped to my lathe table, and using half a clothespin to push it, it went right in...After only 5 tries...
