Thanks Arathol! I appreciate all the time and efforts that the forum members are putting in to help. I will give them a call. I bought a 4 pack of coil springs in the hope that they will work. Member BJE is familiar with some SOG products and seemed to feel that these may be what I need. I plan to take it to a local knife repair shop as the owner said he would disassembled it if I could provide the springs. I will update the forum members once I get it looked at. Best case scenario the springs will work. Worst case I get a better idea of what I need and get to see the inner workings and update the forum members.
