Last night while projecting i noticed the machine got a little rattly in the gate again after a few months of fine running.
What i noticed was the side pressure spring had gone. Literally wasnt there, no loose screws or anything, just no spring!!!!
I cannot see where its gone in the machine or path. It definatly was there as some of you will know i serviced this part of the machine not too long ago.
The spring i need to get, (a couple if poss) is shown here, The Side pressure spring.

I am currently using one from my spares machine, i am just baffled at where the hell its gone. The two screws that hold the inner rail on are both there and tight. [Confused]
