Jack Spring for early 80's 243

I have an early 80's (Mexican action?) Hamilton Baldwin 243 which I purchased a few years ago and had tuned. It plays and sounds well, (tuner's opinion), but the keys often do not respond to a 2nd key press, i.e. the action is not resetting. The tuner said it is "weak jack springs", which may be typical for this era 243, so I am wondering how to proceed. Can I stretch the existing springs, or should I replace them? If replacement, can anyone help me with the correct spring dimensions / specifications? I repair Hammonds and vintage synths, so I am confident I can do this without buggering it up. Any help is greatly appreciated.

It is not likely to be the springs. It is more likely to be that the jack center pin bushings are too tight. Get another opinion.
