Peter,

Thank you for that. I will get the thing apart and find out if they have one that works. I'll report my findings when the mission is complete or aborted!

Dave,

The 'pop top slider pin' is a 'spring plunger' - at least that's what McMaster-Carr calls it.  More specifically, what you're looking for is a 'Pull Ring Retractable Spring Plunger'. These are available from McMaster-Carr in 316 stainless in a variety of configurations.  Hopefully, one of them matches what Stan used.

If you're not familiar with the McMaster-Carr website, for much of their inventory if you click on an individual item number, and then in the pop-up window click on the 'Product Detail' link, you will get a page with lots of details, usually including very helpful diagrams.

Best of Luck,

--Peter
