Sprague wiper valve

My deuce came with one of the funky on/off wiper control knobs.

So I pulled the knob and valve, and it is definitely not a needle valve. It's some kind of on/off ball valve, I think. Never worked really well, tho. Lots of slop in it, so it would never completely close.

Swapped it out for a standard needle valve that I pulled off the parts truck.

Anyone else get their deuce with one of these? Was it a standard MWO replacement part? Or did some motor pool sarge just drive down to Napa and buy this for mine?
