Factory suggests .......... fill key cavity with cotton balls until rattle
quits.  I've done this and have had success.  That's how I remembered it
being.  Somewhere along the line I had to remove the plunger to do this.
Press the plunger down, and look for the phillips screw under the stretcher
on the plunger.  Unscrew and remove assembly.  Add cotton in the now vacant
plunger cavity maybe??  Then reassemble.  Sorry for all the clouds and fog,
it's that time of year around here.

Huckleberry Liquour is about ready, another month and I'll be tasting it to
see if it's up to standards.
Chantrelles were rather abundant this year, we're having them in everything
lately.
