Hello, I have 2 QT and I don't know or seen that wire, only type of wire I see is one which rides alongside the first reel plate. I'm curious because I've looked at the mechanism and of course not being an expert I can't find anything like that

Would you consider visiting a hobby store and buying some steel music wire (0.020", 0.025", 0.032" or whatever gauge you require) and simply bending-out the length and shape you need? I would guess your hand-made replica would be practically indistinguishable (in both form and function) from the factory original...

Purchased some wire and made a few of these... Not too pretty, but functional... Now I only need the 3 payout lever return springs that are made from .016 diameter wire...

The three payout lever springs are available in the QT spring set offered on eBay by Dave Berten.

Yes, I bought the set... His lever springs are made from .0195 wire diameter... They do not function, too heavy... I need the original wire size of .016 diameter... He had one spring in the set that was .016 and I used that to get the machine to function properly...Now I wish to replace them all and be done...I have been reaching out to Dave many times, but yet to get a reply ??? Hope he is OK...
