Broke 201-2 wire spring for grease wick
I was cleaning out the grease cups (first time trying this) on my 201-2 and when I tried to get the old grease wick out of the copper spring, the spring broke in half. I checked Sew Classic and I don't see these springs. I found berylliun copper springs on Amazon that are .228 in diameter, but since the wick is .1875, will that be too big?
Does anyone know who might sell replacement springs?

I wouldn't try the big box stores but I know I've seen generic springs of different sizes for sale at my local Ace store. You might be able to find one that would work at your local hardware store in the bins where they sell nuts and bolts.
