My 400 project is missing the little spring on the tuning drum. Any ideas on where to get one?
You're good, Apple:yes::thmbsp: Those look perfect. Could these possibly be added to Larry's "Sticky", Most Common Parts For Fisher? There's the spring for the magic eye tube as well.. It's great that McMaster has the perfect size, as custom springs can be hard to find.

ths71. If you can't find a spring for the Eyetube, use a #4-40 or #6 x1-1/2" (adjust length to suit) bolt with a nut. My TA-600 has that setup (factory). Use a nut with knurled outer edge so you can grip it.

Hi ths71,Thanks. I thought the spring just hooked up to the little slots.
HA!!:thmbsp:John; You've just been designated as the "spring-ologist" for the forum LOL!

Here's the dimensions for the Fisher 400 magic eye tube retainer spring:Hi ths71,
Glad that you found a spring for the tuning string tensioner(if that's what it's called).
I have the tuning eye spring dimensions measured already, but it was late so I'll post it tonight when I get home from work. That spring may be available from McMaster as well. I'll check that also..

No prob. I'm happy that I can help.Thanks again!
Yeah, I'm keeping an eye on that. I actually found some springs locally I think might work and I built a dim bulb tester this weekend.No prob. I'm happy that I can help.
Keep us posted on your progress with your 400. Check out Dave Gillespie's recent 400 posts if you haven't done so already. Good luck with your project!
