Anyone have a source for "extremely-tiny-springs" assortment pack?
I seem to find myself in need ::)

You might try a good hobby store that deals in radio controlled "toys".
If you're talking about dog springs, I just bought a dozen 14-99s from Pennparts for when they vaporize. :-\
Thanks. Unfortunately our selection of hobby stores is mighty slim over here in santa cruz.
Seems that no matter which brand/reel I'm working on I manage to stretch those tiny little springs.
Maybe If I soak them in hot water then into the dryer they'll shrink? Works for my clothes! :)
my place. i'm just over the hill. i've got more lost springs on the floor than some shops keep in inventory. ;D
Can I come over with my magnet and "sweep" your floor? ;D
So far I've been lucky and have been able to "reshape" the springs so they will still work....but I sure would like to have extras laying around!
I just got done going through my two avet raptors (sx and lx).
Evidently the problem of the silent clickers can be solved by installing shorter clicker-springs, which avet sent to me.
HOLY-MOLY! Installing those things was like trying to do brain surgery while holding your scalpel with chop-sticks!
I got it done though, and despite my best efforts to destroy those new springs....they worked!
Those avets are as loud as my 6/0 Senators now!

old man hank nishijima owned hank's rod and reel repair in san jose's old japantown. when he was sick, i was doing alot of the repairs for him. when he finally passed away, i bought out all of his old conventional inventory. i also literally swept the floor and the coutertops and threw everything in to a box that i call "hank's box of miracles." dozens of times i have gone rummaging through that box looking for odd parts and have found them.
