Has anyone discovered whether the spring barrels of the No.59 and the later 270 series motors are interchangeable?
I ask because I have a No.59 motor with a broken spring and an incomplete 270 motor with a good spring.
It would be a quick and easy fix if I could make one good motor out of these two.

Barrels I don't know, but the springs inside are actually the same.
