I have a Zeiss 16mm projector with one broken trap roller spring and probably the rest about to break from wear at the pins.
Is there anywhere to get such springs? These are rather small but almost any size should work as long as they don't hit anything and the pin direction is correct.

I don't know the projector but the last things using Omega type springs in this industry were the Dolby digital penthouses (and BACP) on their pad roller closers. RCA soundheads used them too. It really is a torsion spring with not quite one coil and the ends bent.
