Hi; i have rebuilt the vacuum cylinders on my 42. Not that hard to do, I am sure the shafts have some rust and if they do you will have to have new ones machined. the seals can be replaced. The pistons on mine only needed to be cleaned and lubed with nets-foot oil. I can take some photos for you, but don't want to take out the interior. I would guess the the springs will have to be made if you can't find a set. The fellow who is remaking the bottom of a 120 (see posts)should have a photo of the retainer for the bottom of the spring. i am getting my 42 ready for a show and will take some photos. Dell
