Hi all
Loving the Hobbit pin I bought from another forum user last year (my first pin). Have managed so far with some minor repairs and modifications but I wanted to pick your brains because I start pulling things apart on this one....
I noticed that the W on DWARF wasn’t dropping as it should do (see vid below)

After opening her up I found that the spring had snapped and needed replacing. I bought a replacement coil just in case that needed doing, but in the meantime swapped the spring from the D to the W to test it (see vid below)

What do you reckon? Does the coil want swapping out?
Cheers
