Filter Queen M11NA

[keldrin]

So, I got a Filter Queen from goodwill online Auction. $82 after taxes and Shipping. The brush roller was damaged. So I replaced it. Cleaned up the power nozzle while I had it open. Replaced all the filters. New scent pad, and noise reduction pad. Kind of a rush since parts arrived yesterday, and I have a Kirby Legend 2 arriving Thursday. Anyways, here are a few pictures.

Sure wish there was a way to fit a bag to one of these. I wonder if a Numatic or shop vac bag spout could be adapted?

I'm not sure. I question how the cyclone vacuum would be able to work.

The hose inlet inside the canister would likely have to be replaced. What ever it is replaced with would have to be made to fit on a similar curve. Then, what ever bag attaches to the new inlet would need to be able to fit inside the canister.
Obviously, couldn't use a filter cone with a bag, so monitoring the motor pre filter would be more important. Plus, careful cleaning after removing a old bag to eliminate dirt and dust.

Hmm... so, I wonder how a shop vac bag attaches.

At one brief time FQ offered a bag attached under the cone that did require an adapter on the inlet.Was NLA before I knew about it.Others may know more.

Ah, look at that! Never saw the inside of one before. That diverter would have to be removed and the holes filled. Not simple. Oh well, it was an idea.

Most have either a slot for a dust bag mounting card to slide into centered over the hose opening or a spout like a Henry has where you squeeze the rubber seal of the bag mounting card over it.

That's a very nice find! Would love to find the green version of that someday since I know I've seen pictures of one on here, must be a limited edition model.
