My old Sapphire Vac was 25 years old, and I had the same sag issue. Kirk will sell you an inexpensive new spring kit with instructions. I am quite handy, but I botched the job. Replacing the springs was not difficult, but compressing them while screwing the long screws into the nylon nuts ended in my stripping the nuts, which caused the table to not come into level. Anyway, I ended up sending it to Kirk.
Then I was confronted with the 'upgrade question', as most all parts of that older TT have been upgraded. You can spend a good bit following the upgrade path. I decided to trade mine to Kirk for a new Cosmos Vac. Not cheap, but I am very happy. Whatever path you choose, Kirk and Donna will help you get there.
