Filter Queen Dirt container Gasket

[kirbysthebest]

I purchased a Filter Queen Triple Crown on ebay.  All in pretty good condition, except it is missing the Black Dirt Container gasket.


 


I attempted to purchase one from several online sellers, EZ-Vacuum, Amazon, Filter queen direct,  and get NLA.


 


I am surprised since this gasket should be the same throughout the line.  Does anyone have a parts machine, or directions to a source I could purchase from?


 


Thank You for assistance.

What's it made out of?

Hmm

Its plastic. The best way I can describe it is the thick plastic disposable plates or even clear disposable silverware. I imagine there super easy to break.
I'd check greatvacs.com or evacuumstore.com. I ordered 2 charcoal filters for my majestic it was $6.50 for filters and $4.50 for shipping. I ordered from goodvac web site. I checked quite a few places and they had best prices by far.

The Dirt containter gasket

Is a black rubber gasket that sits around the top of the dirt container, then the motor unit sits on top of that.

Looks like filterqueenspecialties.com has them. There are a couple dirt containers on eBay too, that you could get the gasket off of, but they are a little pricey.

Thank you for the link

I did check e-bay, but passed on the entire dirt container unless it was last chance. 


 


Back to add:


Just ordered part.


Thank you again for the assistance.

I Learned something

I thought the Gasket was the same across the Filter Queens since the tub has changed little. 


 


It appears that the newer gaskets are made deeper so as to allow for the Medipure and charcoal filter behind the filter cone without crushing the filtercone. 


 


In any case, I have one on the way, and am again thankful for the assistance.
