Again, thanks for the advice and encouraging words.

  I got it all together and used a tiny dot of ss screen
on top of the spiral spring to hold it all in place.
Except for leaking at the top (dribbles back into the
water glass) and the ball sticking open (a couple of
taps with the wood end of a small hammer cures that),
IT WORKS!  Now, I have to solve the seals at the top
of the pump.

  Well, I must cut the run and fun short as it is the last
of my distilled H2O.

Thanks,
Wayne
