Before looking at the manual my first thoughts were that since the drum cord was broken all I would need to do is restring it, but it is obvious that it won't work without the spring. Does anyone have one from a parts radio or do you have any ideas for a substitute? Years ago I serviced laser imagesetters and printers and I know that the slip clutches in the drive mechanisms used a spring of that sort.
