Maybe someone has already stretched this one. How about twisting the spring
around a shaft to tighten it up a bit?

Subject: [Phono-L] Cygnet suspension spring question
Hello all
I recently purchased an original cygnet suspension spring. All of my Cygnet
hardware was original with the exception of the spring, so it seemed like a
golden opportunity. What I didn't consider was the strength (or lack
thereof) of an original spring. It seems this one is weak enough that I
have to crank the susension bolt all the way to the bottom in order to have
the horn hang correctly, and even then it is putting a little too much
pressure on the carriage to the point that records repeat grooves. I use a
tizit to help the carriage move freely but even this doesn't help, and
shortening the rubber connector wouldn't do much. Here's my question: Would
it be blaspemy to cut a few coils off the original spring in order to
alleviate the problem? I hate to have spent the money only to have a spring
I can't use.
The other solution is to get a different crane. I have a number 10 crane,
and I read that there were different sized cranes for different options. I
am going to be installing a top mount carriage and a model O reproducer, and
I understaned there was a Model O crane that was taller than the number 10.
Anyone seen one of these? Anyone got a longer lower portion they would
trade??
Thanks!
John Robles.
