Hello all: I have the action from a 1927 Story and Clark grand in the shop, with peculiar repetition springs. They loop up out of the jack window, curve backwards, and hook onto a string loop that comes out of the top of the wippen. Has anyone worked on such an animal before, and if so, is there a way to adjust the spring tension short of disengaging it from the loop, bending it, and then replacing it? I am leery about doing it that way, because the loops are cotton and some of them have snapped already. I fear that I may have to just break down and replace them all. Help Mister Wizard!
