Quiet spring and spoon arm
Heat-shrink tubing on the spring, and cabinet door bumpers on the end of the spoon arm, quiets the machine quite a bit. While I put heat-shrink on the hooks and body of the spring, its the tubing on the body that killed the spring 'sing'. I slightly heated the center of the sleeve to keep it from sliding around. The door bumpers on the end of the spoon arm only works with the blue Supermatic. Its the only machine where the spoon base isn't flush with the chamber sidewall (when the machine is in the open position, the bumpers bring it flush).

I found that lubricating the link assembly and the crank assembly will quiet down the machine quite a bit. Even more so than the spring mod .I also lube my springs just be careful lube is not fun to smoke...
