What do you think? Does anyone have a really good picture I can look at? I saw a couple on the web, but can't get a mental 3D of it yet.

carries these springs. They are very cheap, and relatively easy to replace. I tried bending one--I have a Pfaff 31 treadle that needed a new spring--but the results were less than spectacular.
