Thanks Doug. Contrary to what Reeses book shows, it felt like there are two springs in these things. One in the spine, or tube, and another in the drum itself. But like George, I am afraid to take it all apart. The good thing is that after reading all these posts, I feel better about mine being original. I tip my coffee mug to all of you.
George, don't be afraid to take the spring out of the tube,or spine. Its easy to put back in. But once you take it out, move the arm on the drum and you will feel the second springs tension on that arm.
