    Hello Fritz,
    Those rascals are pretty tough to find at present. Numrich is out of stock, and the last one I ordered from the recommendation you've already rec'd turned out to be a trimmed down mainspring, with about half the UMPH one looks for in a proper top lever spring. You might check with either Jerry Andrews, or Bryan Dudley (of the Parker ilk)as they both accumulate Elsie parts, or you can do as I do and just watch for parts lots on Ebay until you see a lot with a TLS in it.
    Good luck!
    John
