So this morning, the return spring on my old 15 inch Craftsman drill press snapped. Craftsman Parts Direct says replacement spring and housing is no longer available - YAY.

The drill press is the Craftsman 152.229, and the spring part number is OR92338. Google didn't find anything for me. What are the odds some other manufacturer's spring would work, and how would I know without one in hand??

Any ideas? Santa doesn't have budget for a new drill press this year.
