Replacement Bandsaw Spring

[MJ80]

Does anyone know where I can get hold of a new spring for an old Metabo/Schneider/Rockwell 10" bandsaw. I picked one up a few weeks ago and the spring has seen better days.

You coukd try measuring it and searching for that size. No guarantee it'll work out though.... i needed a new one for my record machine, so i measured and bought one off ebay, not springy enough, just stretched and stayed that way. So i bought a thicker and shorter one from china, made of chineesium, and it stretched worse than the first i now have a patented ratchet_strap_on_the_end_of_the_spring mechanism which works
