Jet or HVM 728 quill return spring

[Bob123]

Hi guys, I'm hoping someone out there has a Jet 728 or similar machine and can give me some info on the quill return spring. When I bought this machine it was completely missing the spring and after taking the quill mechanism apart I realized it doesn't use a standard return spring. I can't tell if it's some kind of torsion system or what. Does anybody out there have any info? Pictures?

I appreciate any guidance! Thanks!

Bob

Precision Matthews sells a 728 series mill. Asian machines are mostly the same for parts interchange, so give Matt a call, he can probably get your part.
