Thanks Dan for your help. I think mine must be missing the little metal ball 
too. I have the VC head which I find really great to use, especially since I 
only do B&W.
I had really good service out of my old one which came from a newspaper 
company and I'm sorry I ever sold it. The new one is really in unmarked 
condition. The bulb it uses is the Philips 31-139 and thus has the later 
lamp holder. I disasembled the bottom part my old one to fix up the masking 
blades before I sold it. This involved removing the platform that the 
negative carrier sits on. What a hairy job that was. However I got it all 
back together and it worked perfectly.
