I need a Filter Queen Model 31 part

[d-jones]

The protective pad for the tub clamp seen in the photo below is missing from the clamp on the other side. Without it the clamp will damage the paint on the dome assembly, so I'd like to find the correct replacement. The model 31 has a pinkish brown finish, so that's the color I'd like to find the pad in. If anyone has an old tub sitting around that still has a pad like this on one of the clamps and they're willing to sell it, I'd like to buy it from you. I know that these pads can still be purchased new, but they're the wrong color these days so I thought I'd ask here.

Hi Ken. If you have the part, the only thing left is to decide how much you want for it. I definitely need it.

 

[westinghouseman]

Hi David, I'll just give it to you. Ken

 

[d-jones]

Ken. I just sent you a message through the message system here on the site.

 

[d-jones]

Well, it looks like Ken didn't have the part after all. So I'm still looking for the little pad shown in the photo above.

FQ part

Hoped you had found.I may have.Would be in a little drawer in one of many drawer cabinets.As above little cost but only the right part is the right part in these cases.Will look.

 

[d-jones]

Thanks Jimmy. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

 

[rugsucker]

Found it-

-Is very good used.Right color.Just get me an address and $2 as it should be in small padded mailer.

Well everyone, thanks to Jimmy(aka rugsucker)my Model 31 now has the pad that's been missing since I got it. It's been installed, and the additional thickness it adds to the clamp causes it to grip the dome assembly/motor housing more snugly, which is excellent news. So thank you Ken for making an attempt to track one down, and a very big thank you goes to Jimmy for coming through with one.

Good to see the last missing piece added and that the post office got it there quicker than expected. So now I have a tiny bit more space in a part drawer but if anyone else needs 5 or 10 or 15 FQs or power nozzles or atts maybe I could have more space on some storage shelves!-Hope all is well in "beautiful downtown Burbank" and that you will watch a vintage Laugh In episode.,Jimmy

@rugsucker

would you happen to have attachments for a k31 x?

 

[rugsucker]

FQ attachments

Probably.To match above color?Which ones?I have 1 or 2 small boxes with many atts from good to very good.But almost NO crevice tools and NONE of the red Princess atts.I will try to take a closer look later.

Floor nozzle and  dusting brush. but  Crevice tool was what i was in real need of above the rest of the tools

 

[rugsucker]

FQ atts

I have tan dusting brushes (good to very good but not mint) and matching tan & aluminum rug nozzle with floating brush(could be less than $20 with shipping if wanted).But did you want the bristle only,hard floor only tool?these I might only have in newer versions.
