My machine does have the little spring you just described. It is complete and functional. But also a more stout wire or spring inboard of that one that did something. I'll take a pic of mine I guess and post it.
I have some of the MTx190s thanks to Mizkaki (Sorry Cathy I know I didn't spell that right.) But I got them after I'd started the cleaning process and haven't had any chance to try them out yet.

I see it, it's called a "needle guard". looks like it can be made easily enough or a donor Davis machine shouldn't be too tough to find.
