Stepper motor help, please.

OK, gurus. Got what I hope to be an easy one for you. I have disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled the following item. When I got the machine, the springs were disconnected and I have tried 20 ways to Sunday to get it to work. No joy. It's from a '77 Sonic so should be identical to typical Williams player steppers of the era. ANY help will be appreciated in getting the springs in the right place and any advice on adjusting it to work best. Thanks!

use this as an example its from Pinwiki.com. Its from a 73 williams player unit

It looks like the arm is on the wrong side of the metal tab

This pic also shows the correct position of the two missing springs

Looks like PB Resource has a spring kit if needed....also a pretty good placement diagram if you click on the picture/part.

Well crap on crisco! I'm missing a spring. That makes a lot of sense. Knew something has to hold the pawl end down! Thanks more!
