So I managed to snag myself a nice looking 103 that was pretty dirty but after a good cleaning and I got it all looking pretty.
My only issue was not having a filter bag adapter and I really didn't want to use the shake out bag because really want to preserve it and after finding out how crazy expensive the actual adapter is I did some searching and found a 3D print of one for Oreck BB bags since the person who made the model stated they filter better and im quite impressed!

It was a bit awkward around the edge due to it being flat and not flared out (though a softer print material might fix this) so I added gasket sealer on it.

Big shout to one of my friends IRL for printing it and 0taterdog0 on thingiverse for the model and I'll link him here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6441143/comments

Very nice! Not only did you add the disposable bag option but you also did it with better bags, most of the Gs i've seen are super cheap paper.
Thanks! Yeah I agree aside from the micro fresh bags which I don't think are made anymore the G bags SUCK like you can see finer dust flying out
