Update:
I do not know if it will hold or not, but I carefully silver soldered the
broken off tab back on to each strip. Filed this smooth and have re-assembled
the parts back into the roller assembly.
So far it seems to be working.
I will post results after further progressive testing with incremental power
increases and or longer transmission times.
Mechanically, a couple of revolutions of the entire roller travel looked fine
with no binding or strain on the soldered joints.
Time will tell. I am still investigating sources for the spring material.
Rich Measures, you might be interested to know I used your silver solder and
flux included in the parasitic kit you sent some time ago.
Thanks to all who replied and any further info that might be posted.
