Good news, bad news. Good news is all nine fingers still intact! Bad news, I busted the spring trying to get another turn on it.

Cannot find a source for a new spring. Ordered a manual regulator for that side and will try and pillage it for the spring. Not opposed to returning it if there is a source out there.

After thinking about it, was the spring already fatigued and not offering the assistance it should? After 50+ years, it stands to reason. The quarter windows are significantly lighter and work perfect further adding to my suspicions.

Power and ground checked out. 1/10th volt loss between battery and window switch. 0 ohms resistance between regulator and body. I did install a new relay in the factory location.
