That would work too, I would just cut a HEPA bag and glue that to the filter frame. You'll get better airflow and more filtration, as these don't have the best filtration with those old 5033 bags. Although in their time they were probably about as good as it got, since it was considered "triple" filtration - bag, foam premotor filter, and foam exhaust filter.
Sears did make 5033/E allergen micro bags for these more recently, but they seem very uncommon - I've only ever seen one pack of them on eBay and I never saw any in Sears. | ||

it may be pristine except for one flaw mentioned in the description that everyone glosses over that makes the powerhead virtually useless. the height adjuster is broken (likely shattered or flat out sheared off) and makes the PN sit too low even on low pile carpets to do anything but burn up belts.
the remedy isnt easy or straight foward to get it functional and involves scracth building parts to make the height adjuster cam work again. i developed a repair for this, but unless whoever wins this asks about it, they will likely ask for a refund stating the powerhead doesnt work right, not knowing the fix is out there. however its not one you can get from a"parts machine" or vacuum shop. this was a terrible design in these powerheads, and nearly every 1973-81 sears pn i've worked on has a heighter adjuster cam "tit" non fuctional. it was cheap abs plastic that got brittle from the PN motor heat cooking the plastic to the fragility of glass | ||
