Sigwalt Chicago no.11 Gripper Bar Spring
Does anyone on Briarpress have an operational Sigwalt Chicago no. 11 and if so, would any of you be willing to post a photo or video of the gripper bar and spring? The press I have seems to have its gripper bar assembly intact, but had what appears to be a spring dangling from the gripper bar with nothing attached.
Also, If this was already a thread that exists, please point me that way.
On both my Sigwalts, the gripper bar spring attaches to a little pin-eye, which is on the base of the press about halfway between the mounting holes, on the left side- have a look there
Trust these photos help.

Both mine are larger versions I guess, they have actual springs, sorry for the misdirection.
The other end is secured with a hook formed by bending the spring over the cam with two right angles.
