I hope this is the rite forum to post this.

I recently brought home a broken HS2. Sent out the boards for repair .
I then notice the slide hinges aren't functioning properly.
I have zero experience with this type of hinge so I'm not sure how they're supposed to work.
The right side looks like It's missing a washer and a pivot nut for the slide hinge.
Also, the spring has popped off the hinge and I don't know where the other end of the spring should attach.
The left side looks better however, I don't think it's in the rite position.
After searching through the forums, I found a picture of how I think it is supposed to look.
I'll post pictures of the "good" hinge first and then the left and rite of how mine look.
The good picture shows a cabinet slide plate where as I have Washers.

Here are my questions...
Should I add slide plates on to my shopping list and ditch the washers?
Where should the spring on the right attach?
Do I need new hinges or will mine be ok?
I saw a link to an old video but I kept getting a virus / security warning and couldn't go further.
Does anyone have a video of the slide hinges in action?
Trying to save $80 on hinges.
Any insight is much appreciated.
Thanks!

getaway, if i’m not mistaken, was the first game to have this modular pull out bracket system. as a matter of fact, i think some early games had the original pivot-only bracket, and eventually changed mid-run to this style where you can pull it out as well as lift up/down. that said, the washers are correct, and this was probably upgraded in later titles to the plates you see in the pic you found online. so keep the washers and replace any parts from the right side that are missing vs the good one on the left. i’m guessing you can buy the entire bracket w the spring, but might have to order the pivot nut and bolts separate. if cost isn’t prohibitive, just order the left and right side new. because odds are the left side will be at least slightly bent from retaining much of the weight without the help of the right side. also, i’m OCD that way.
