Though the issue has been (nearly) solved: Rockinger offers different types of Bigsby style vibrato systems (Rockinger was founded by Mr. Goelsdorf, who is the owner of Duesenberg, too.) https://www.rockinger.com/parts/hardware/tremolos-tremolozubehoer/duesenberg/
Either ways: I highly recommend a spring swap to a Reverend Soft Touch Spring, because the original spring appeared to be too strong for a smooth slight vibrato. You need some decent force to overcome the rest position, like pulling the trigger of a gun until the hammer hits the bottom of the cartridge with the primer.
I saw this (and I owning a Reverend, I was aware of that particular spare part, though my Reverend is vibrato system-less, a Gristlemaster) and gave it a try.
My Bigsby equipped guitar prior the swap.
The original spring.
Left the original spring, right the Reverend Soft Touch Spring.
Measures, sorry, continental mentric. Original Spring.
Reverend.
Spring time, isn't it? Spring less.
Re-springed.
The new feel to vibrate is amazing. Smooth vibrating with very low pressure is possible now.
It's very worthwhile to drop in the Reverend spring.
