I have a couple of rigs (NC-57) and I need a source for the dial cord
springs.

Thanks for any help

Hardware stores often have spring assortments. I saw some springs at the
local ACE hardware store which would be useable.

Salvage an old VCR or tape deck. They usually have several good springs.

Yes, the local ACE hardware store will have assortments. Its easy to buy a
long expansion spring, and to cut sections from it. The end loops for
tieing
off the dial cord can be made by bending out the end loops on the spring
coils. Now, to find good round dial cord...
