Go to the site TheBandroom.biz They sell all sorts of parts there. They have some Universal Trumpet Valve Springs 9/16 x2. Says they are like those commonly found under valves. $3.99 for the set. I bought a set of generic upper springs that fit my old Besson trumpet. You could check with a tech at a music store for leads, or if possible, take the horn in and they can check to see if they have any in stock that would work. Googling for trumpet valve springs brings up a number on on-line music stores you can check with. You could also contact the present Holton company and see if any parts are available. Good luck!
