Hello,
We are using a TDS1002 scope and have lost the "ground springs" for connection to the scope probe.
Do you know where we can order these.?....PMK.DE has none for sale.

This scope probe kit shows the ground spring in the top left of the picture..

..but we only want the ground spring, not the other stuff
 

Depending on what you are probing, you may find a homebrew solution is sufficient.
I've documented mine at https://entertaininghacks.wordpress.com/2015/03/09/modified-scope-probe-improves-signal-fidelity/ and it will work for any 10:1 high impedance probe.
There are also standard other techniques, some of which are particularly relevant to prototypes, mentioned in the references at https://entertaininghacks.wordpress.com/library-2/scope-probe-reference-material/

The left-hand images shows the signal with a stamdard 15cm ground lead. The right hand image shows the same signal with the homebrew bayonet.
