I’m rehabbing this No. 73 brace. Anyone have a picture of this style brace spring? https://www.dropbox.com/s/kwxy34jnv8t145f/Photo%20Jun%2025%2C%209%2029% 2035%20PM.jpg?dl=0">https://www.dropbox.com/s/kwxy34jnv8t145f/Photo%20Jun%2025%2 C%209%2029%2035%20PM.jpg?dl=0 Mine looks re-shaped, and certainly isn’t doing its job correctly.

Hello Galooterati- After some poking around, I found this Millers Falls patent at georgesbasement: https://www.georgesbasement.com/galootsales/Sale08272005/BraceB&D-122/U SPatNo01880521.JPG">https://www.georgesbasement.com/galootsales/Sale08272005/Bra ceB&D-122/USPatNo01880521.JPG and in the flesh: https://www.georgesbasement.com/galootsales/Sale08272005/BraceB&D-122/C huckApart-591.JPG">https://www.georgesbasement.com/galootsales/Sale08272005/Brac eB&D-122/ChuckApart-591.JPG Matthew's spring isn't far in appearance from the patent's spring. Maybe just needs adjustment. George Langford, enduring sequesterment in SE PA since mid-March, and still working on a massive Internet security issue. george@g...

Hey George Great to hear from you. I have spent time on a couple of occasions in your (virtual) basement, most recenly fixing a North/Stanley brace. Hope your security issue is not too bad. Ed Minch |

Thank you, George! What I had not understood before your info was that the spring tips actually connect to those jaws via that groove and hole. It all makes sense now! Matthew Groves Springfield, MO |
