V 56 gate springs

[sodaman]

For the Vendo 56: I am finally getting it finished and put back together, but I can't figure out how to re-instal the gate springs. It looks like one goes on the front part, and one on the back part of the gate. I just can't figure out where or how to tension them. I think the one with the more windings goes on front and the one that is only wound twice goes on the back but that is as far as I have made it. Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance for the help.

I am a bit behind you in the process - still getting all my pieces and cabinets redone.   Did manage to get some bead blasting done on my interior cabinet parts this weekend. They get sent to the powder coater this week.   Hope to get my stack components back from the plater next week.  Once they all come back I will be in the same place you are - trying to put all the little pieces back to make one big working piece.  Below are some pics I took to help me get everything back the way they came apart.  Some are a bit fuzzy, but iI think they show enough to convey the general idea.  Hope they help!
