Ben, the aluminum cup is on the underneath side of the plate shown in your picture.  The hairspring should be just above or below the plate but I cannot make it out in your photograph.

 

Reference the exploded diagram linked below.  The aluminum cup is #9.  I make the ink marks on the perimeter of item #9 and continue the line onto some convenient feature of the cradle (item 1).

One word for this now.....

 

 

So thanks for the input and thanks to Doug for the solution!

 

Happy days

For those who pulled the needle off first (like I did)

And a trick to get the needle off without damage is a piece of paper with a slot in it. Also if you have the mechanism out then you can hold the drag cup and twist the needle off (this is for the metal type)
