I always try to give credit where it is due.
>From Al Sefl:
Link Springs: On some Blue Amberol records with high amplitude recording
levels the link and stylus bar tend to rattle. The spring was to provide a
constant tension and stop the rattling. Over the years the springs have lost
their tension and have become less effective. New springs a would really help
to control the distortion caused by the rattling. The idea is to limit the
lost motion (slop) in the system created by the smaller diameter link wire in
the larger holes on the crosshead and stylus bar. The constant tension adds
rigidity to the bar/diaphragm coupling.
