Apparently, I have forgotten how to show pictures. This used to work, use the [img] code and a URL. The photo links that cannot be seen can be viewed but not on the Forum. OPEN IN NEW WINDOW works...

What is the alternative?

I'm amazed (and you're incredibly fortunate) that you had 4 main springs on hand for this machine! Very few (including me) would be able to replace all 4 main springs that quickly - especially without Ron Sitko. You're a lucky man!

The preferred method is to use the "attachments" tab on your post and upload your photos directly to the board instead of simply referring to the files on a third party site. This also ensures that if the site you're referring to becomes unavailable, the original pictures can still be seen here.
