Does anybody have a trick for fixing the little stopper at the bottom of an auto-siphon when it comes loose? I tried to find something long and skinny enough to push it back into place, but had no luck. But, I didn't want to toss the thing if it's an easy fix, so if anyone knows how to deal with this, this siphon is at the bottling station.

Auto-siphon stopper
I'm dropping off supplies tonight and will take a look at it, and either fix it or replace it.

With the large volume auto-siphon, I've used a dry erase marker as a platform for the stopper, and pushed it up with the racking cane. That way it holds the stopper level as the marker is only slightly smaller than the diameter of the outer tube, but not so large that it'll get stuck. Also, verify that the clips on the stopper are still intact, and not bent inward, as it'll just fall back out if they are.
Thanks, Mike, I'll check it out tonight and put out more autosiphons if we need them.

I honestly have no idea what you guys are talking about....
I don't know what happened to the picture I posted originally, but here's a new one…hopefully.
Oh, got it now.
Jim, I put all of the stock auto-siphons and wine thieves in the bottom container in the shower.
Got it, thanks, Jeff. There may be some in the drawers by the bar, I'll check and if there are will consolidate them in the shower container.

The siphon in question is fixed and back on the rack.
