Pathetic attempt at obligatory Triumph content:  

As I read my Triumph e-mails in my study, I sit in a massive oak swivel office 
chair that was old when I bought it from a lady in a nursing home 35 years ago, 
when I was a freshman in college.  I love this chair.  

The springs under it have broken.  They are 1/4 inch diameter wire or spring 
steel or whatever.  They are about 5.5 inches long, and the spring itself is 
about 1-5/8ths in diameter.  

I went to HD and bought a couple of stainless springs that fit, but were only 
about 40 pounds apiece, and they were much too weak to hold the back when I 
leaned backward.

Any ideas where to source these?  Honestly (English major here) I don't even 
know what to look for!

Thank you everyone for your patience here.
