Subject: Ribbon controller question

From: "papinje" <fernandozarone@...>
Date: 2012-02-14

Inside the case of the CS60 / CS80 ribbon controller there is the conductive spring contacting the resistive strip when pushed down, am I right?
My question is: I have seen the broken spring splitted in pieces, its diameter being constant (the separated pieces are retracted), while the internal room of the plastic case is reduced at the two ends. I cannot understand how the spring was fitted inside, when it was sound!
The spring diameter cannot be "compressed" and reduced inside its "bed". Or is the splitter spring I see inside not original and too large?
Any info? Is there any picture of a working spring in its place in the right position?
Any help will be appreciated...
