Scott, what a keen eye you have!

The power nozzle was actually leaning a little. That's why it looks slightly off. I didn't notice it until after the photos were all shot and didn't want to go back and take a new one!
 
I too really want one of these more and more, here is a pic of the model I want most, the 50th Anniversary Edition in a beautiful black and gold.

Question for Dave....

I heard you mention a Fram filter for the "Warthog" filter........do you by any chance know what the carb filter number is? I've been thinking an aircleaner filter would work, but it's so stupidly hard to find any information as to sizes!
 
To be honest Eric, I called it a Fram because we have a Fram Filter factory here in Stratford...and it sure does look like one.

If I had the time I'd take the Tristar filter ring to an auto parts store and start searching. Best bet tho is to deal with the Canadian Tristar website for the correct part.

The problem I keep running into is that the filter for the original Filter-Fresh is NLA. They want you to use that awful white "Filter-Fresh Ultra 2000" monstrosity that takes your powerful TriStar and emasculates it into being a whimpy little girly-mon.
