@MRL83 I did just swap out the spring assembly on a newer alum 10" straight and it fit just fine in the E10 offset. Got another assembly order for $7 and change. Good to know!
Thank you, Sir. I will look into the spring assembly and report back.
I also picked up this 14" via EBay on Friday night after a few beers... Too clean to pass up for the price. Looks to me to have older identifiers in the sqaured jaw , black coating/lack of paint, and patent #. But the ring...

Been a gatherer/user of old tools my whole life and recently dove into old Ridgids. Picked up this E10 offset a few weeks back for my daily use bag, beautiful patina and in great shape...
