When I was in college, the equipment room manager was a former Bell and Howell employee who warned of the danger of messing with the spring. Claiming he had seen someone's arm cut off when a spring escaped. I took apart a few filmos and one spring escaped and thankfully tangled itself in my sweater before hitting my face. I developed a technique for putting the filmo spring back in, but it was only successful twice, and I was way younger and stronger back then, I wouldn't try it again.

So if you arehinking of DIY'ing it, perhaps think again. Especially with an Eyemo spring.

If the spring is snapped, I see that new springs are available at about $150. 
If you can still wind it and release it, then the spring is not snapped. Maybe 
it just needs an overhaul. I think it make take special tool to install a new 
spring.
