Hey all- really struggling to find this Stern spring anywhere in the UK / Europe and am struggling with the thought of paying $12.99 postage on Marco to get a $1.20 item sent to my sister in NYC….. Please oh please 🙏 does anyone have one or stock one??? Its for a Stern up post on a WPT- seems a finer grade of spring than the ones I can buy from my usual stockists

General Use Spring - 10-135

General Use Spring - 10-135 This spring fits around the pop bumper plunger and pushes the ring & rod assembly up. Also used on some Williams flipper mechs & slingshot assemblies, as well as other various assemblies. Williams reference #10-135. Bally reference #SP-200-180. Stern/Sega/Data East...

David I don't believe it is this one. The 10-135 general purpose spring for pop bumpers and slingshots etc. is 1.75 inches long whereas the one for stern/sega/de upkickers is 1.5 inches long. Not sure it would make much difference but stern seems to think so 🤔

yeah i think its a tiny difference but all the major parts databases show it as compatible so id take a guess will work would be cool to see the difference side by side in fitting to see if it works better or not
 
The current spring seems very weak- the up post takes it’s sweet time to retract down and had been catching on the left ramp wireform all of its life until I adjusted it. I’m guessing the spring has now degraded as it still can get stuck up and everything else in the mechanism seems in good working order. Fingers crossed 🤞 a different spring fixes it- I didn’t want to start mixing / matching other stronger grade springs in case I damaged something. The pin itself must be the newest condition WPT in the country- it’s getting the LED treatment and new rubbers etc. Still need to do under the upper playfield which was a bit of a PITA from memory on my old one. It’s got to be the best bang for buck Stern SAM- code is deep and this one plays like lightning so might knock down the coil pulse
