I don't know if it's the original one from my vacuum, but it's what was in it when I got it.
Sorry it's kind of messed up. Since I can't get a new one, I figured this was better than nothing. Barry

I remember seeing pictures just like that when some places were still listing them as "available" but they weren't.
For the material, I might consider a more modern HEPA cloth material. It will keep the motor cleaner and might improve performance. I have a Slimline. Same machine from the bottom "pan" down. The Slimline doesn't have a pre filter, only a wire screen on one end of the motor. But it does have the same exhaust filter in the little door. Mine was long gone. So I got some of the cut to fit material that you can put inside air conditioning vents. It was the perfect fitness to glue inside the door, and it works very well. |
