Try running a magnet around the floor...

I have a telescoping one so I usually know the general direction it took off and without leaving my chair I usually find it! :D

Good afternoon,
For some reason, this reminds me altogether too much of "I warsh myself with a rag onna stick" *chuckles* A telescoping one no less. ( tho' that really is a good idea, Doc and one that will give me an excuse to visit the hardware store again )
regards,
Painless

Without leaving my chair is because I usually have more parts in my lap! LOL!

For weights you might try something like this

https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/mr- ... lsrc=aw.ds

available at just about any chain auto parts store, and sometimes places like Midas or Discount Tire will sell or give you some.

It's a bit of an art, fixing clocked springs.

As stated in my former post, a bag of 16 (harder) springs is about $10.- check rctank.de to get an idea. The springs are the same for about every HL tank.

Lucky for me gunner, I'm 24 and don't ever want to get married because I'm too much of a child to grow up. :P
Same here, 59 and not married, but may as well be lol.
