Jack, check this...

The #930 seems to work.... it is nothing more than a rubber filled brass sleeve with a set screw to hold it in place on the after string once you find the right spot.
A different technique is to find some different weights (usually in the range of 2 to 5 grams) that you can place on the belly temporarily with delicate double tape (test the tape to be sure you do not harm the varnish until you find the right weight and spot...then carefully note the exact location and glue it to the inside under the belly in the exact same location. Use the lightest weight possible to tame the troublesome note. Often though, the accoustic color of the instrument changes, and you risk having to undo what you glued in....and that could be trickier.
Good luck!
Mat
