My kids are both tight wads. The result is I end up fixing things that don't deserve it. But a challenge is some times rewarding.

Those kinds of repairs are the ones that I dislike the most, but are the most rewarding if you can pull it off. Good job!

Boy that is the truth.I really didn’t think I could fix it.
This was a completely unknown device.
I must admit though, it seems well made.
I don’t know why the spring failed. I can only assume mine will last for quite a while??
Music wire/spring steel may have different grades?
I bought it from McMaster.

Twenty thousand?
In my case it’s over $75,000.
I have the best wife in the world! Right honey?

We have two boys. One is an electrician and the other is a teacher.
The electrician and his wife spend like there is no tomorrow.
The teacher and his wife are squeaky tight.
That’s why we fix curling irons

It's not enough to just fix it. Tool Time Tim knows what you really need. Shunt a few resistors and bypass the thermostat for MORE POWER!
