I found out that the coupler screw was quite loose, everything inside was dirty and dry, the coupler/bolt looks to have a good bit of wear where they fit together, the trip spring is only 1/4" long and very weak, the trip itself looks o.k. but I don't have anything to compare it to so who knows, and the safety mechanism is unlike anything I can find on Numrich's site (or this site either). I have blue Locktite, picks, scrapers, solvents, and an "Oh Heck" jar of springs, so my plan right now is to clean it up, cut a longer spring, and see what happens. Good news is that it appears all original inside, I now know that I have a very balky three-position safety ( which probably needs a new safety push rod), and that all looks fixable. Back again when I know more. Thanks.
