    Replacement springs for Toyo-View D45M ?

    Hi LF forum folks,
    There sure is lots of really good info here - I have been reading a ton - thank you for sharing.
    My first post.
    I just purchased a Toyo-view 4x5 mono-rail camera - looks like a D45M
    - complete package, including help from a very experienced photographer and use of his enlarger and dark room
    - it has been a ton of fun, getting back into home development (so far just tray developing the negatives)

    The camera is old, but in good condition.
    Except: the spring back (ground glass holder) does not spring back tight to the camera - the springs seem a bit weak (old)
    I can hod the GG tight with a slight pressure with the hand held magnifier
    The spring back does hold the film cassette tightly - no light leaks

    These springs are multiple leaf - 2 leaf on one end and 3 leaf on the other - looks a bit tricky to manufacture.

    I'm trying to contact toyoview.com but the emails don't work, and the "contact us" form fails.
    Looks like toyoview.uk still works, but I haven't heard back from them yet.

    Does anyone know if this type of spring is available anywhere?

    The camera works - but it would be nice to have this tighter.

    Thanks for any help you can offer

    Regards

    Jim

    Thanks gypsydog,
    The site does not list a phone number - only lists a fax.
    I'll need to find a fax machine
