Yes I do. It turns out though that I was incorrect; the top part wasn’t a medicine dropper bulb but a small plastic protective cap from some part I purchased over the years, maybe a heater core or something like that. Over the years it was painted black for some reason, but in the photo you can see the original yellow color peeking through in spots. The tube is just a short length of 3/8” ID rubber hose.
