Both of my springs on my empeg's handle broke. Does anyone know what would make a good replacement for them?

I have originals: I have just ordered a batch from the original manufacturer.

Very interesting! Are you willing to supply the general market with springs or do you have a contact for the manufacturer?
Either way, what is the cost per empeg for the new springs?
Thanks!

No, I'm not restricting - you can ring the manufacturer if you like, but they want a minimum quantity for the order of 500.

I am not sure what I paid or what I'll be charging yet - let me check. It will be at cost + postage.

I think I speak for most of us when I say we all want you to be able to continue doing support for a long time. To that end, I think you should at least add some nominal fee to cover your time and energy spent.

I agree, Rob, charge a little over cost+shipping...and have a beer on us at the meet!

Thanks for all you do!
