Re: Stripped out threads for key's flat spring screw?

Thanks to everyone who responded! As "quick fixes" I really liked the ideas of strong thread locker, and even soft-soldering the spring to the key, but for a longer fix, I like the idea of plugging and re-drilling the hole, tapping it, etc.

I'll look into obtaining the necessary tools that I'll need, and I'll practice on some old broken parts I have.

Chris - thanks for the detailed explanation! I greatly appreciate your expertise, and want to especially thank you for taking the time to answer these questions.

Silversorcerer - thanks for the name of repair tech, if things take me too long, or don't turn out satisfactory, I'll be contacting Mr. Naylor.

Thanks again to everyone who offered ideas,
Fuzzy
