Both miniature metal spring coils were missing. I had to order them from a UK seller.

How did you find replacement parts ?

Hi Didier, Thanks for your kind words.

I couldn't find any original parts supplier in the Internet and considering its vintage status I didn't even tried to call our local Casio distributor (despite the excellent service & spare parts they can offer here; once I needed a metal battery cover for one of my Casio fx 2.0 and they kindly and swiftly mailed the components for free).

So I had a look in the TAS UK and found a supplier for miniature metal coil springs here.
I made a mistake and ordered smaller diameter springs than ideal, but as these springs will not have mechanical movement because it are used to interconnect static metal components, it should be fine.
