Does anyone happen to know if the springs for the warp feed vibration sensor are any kind of standard item that can be found in like a hardware or hobby store?

I am missing one and rather than pay a dollar plus shipping for a tiny spring I'm wondering if there's anywhere I can acquire one locally that will do the job.

Someone said they used a zippo lighter spring before.

That might just work....now to figure out where one can buy a zippo lighter spring ;) I haven't owned a zippo for years...but if I recall correctly they have a long spring that holds the flint in place. I know you can buy replacement flints, so maybe places that sell those also sell the springs.
