Doing some searches, I came up with the contact information for a company called Walker Turner Serviced Machinery LLC. I sent them the pictures of the press and within 24 hours I received this response:

We have a replacement return spring (new) avail, and some other parts (bearings etc) as needed to rebuild. We can also start you off with a full service instruction bulletin for this machine.

a subsequent email about the Instruction Sheet yielded the following:
