I found something like the spring in a ball point pen between the spider and the cone ?? Nothing I have read shows something like this is this supposed to be there for some reason ??

These are common on imported resonators. I don't know what the purpose is. As long it don't make a buzz I wouldn't worry about taking it out. But if I take one apart that has a spring, I leave it out. Can't tell any difference with or without it.
Maybe its just a way to smuggle springs into a country that don't have springs for their ink pens.

Yep, seen that on the imports, but could never figure out what it does. The only thing I could think of was to keep tension on the bridge to keep the screw from backing off. Maybe during shipping, the screw is backed off so it doesn't pull the cone if the guitar is banged.
