The spring barrels come as a set so you have to swap the barrel(s) and the
winder. The single spring winder has 4 screws the double has 2 screws and most
boards are dilled universal. You still have to swap the hook that holds the
spring that goes from the horn to the motor board. The DD motors are the same
with the exception of the spring which the DD motor does not have so you can
make a single spring motor a double, even some Edison machines are found with
double springs when the came with singles. Steve
