Reply to "Replacement Spring for Piston-Driven Smoke Unit in LionChief PE Berkshire"

I just watched the video that the OP attached. In the video it shows the piston cup inserted with the open end up. I swear mine is in just the opposite?? 

I thought mine was in there like that too when I first opened it. Putting it back together with the open side down I couldn't figure out how the chuffing arm would actuate it, though, as it doesn't sit straight with the arm going up into the piston cup on the open end. Now I'm wondering if it is in upside down, though. Can anyone else pop the shell on theirs to confirm which direction the cup sits?

I tried stretching the spring out and it seems to be returning to the down position. Need to test it on the layout, though. Even if it works it's not a long-term fix, I don't think, and I'd still like to find the spring the gentleman used in the video I posted.
