Sounds like a beautiful machine. Sometimes it is easy to loosen something while cleaning or to remove things that don't necessarily need to be removed. Take it somewhere in your area to get the spring put back on. There is most likely a repair shop nearby where you are. Call around, check on the web for any complaints or comments regarding where you take it. Almost everyone has a rating these days. On a personal side, I wouldn't send it to Billy. He has machines (and money) that he has had for months and (at least one) over a year. No one can find out if they will ever get them back. You will be just as well off, if not better, to take it locally.
