Other than this, the wood is in good condition. With some minor refinishing it should be ok. My most concerning part of this "project" is how to replace the broken spring supports. This is heavy gauge "wire" that secures the top (or maybe its the bottom) of the springs to the chair frame. Several are broken and are missing the pointy ends that connect to the frame. Does anyone know where I could purchase replacements or a substitute? I suppose I could probably jurry rig some sort of supporting system but my preference is to keep it as original as possible. Attached is a picture the more clearly shows two of the broken spring supports. Hey, thanks for all your advice and help!![/QUOTE]
