I hope a Ametek Lamb 2-stage motor can fit the MG Series TriStar?

It should seeing how others have fitted them in the MG series... 
As for Dyson motors & owners, remember that loads of suction is not as good as a proper balance between airflow & suction, get the balance wrong and you have a poorly performing vacuum...

You mean surprising that these expensive vacs are being powe
Exactly.
The current single-stage Panasonic motors, while better than some, do not last too long. If it reached five or six years in normal use and did not succumb to a failed bearing or a short in the armature, it would be one of the fortunate ones...

Why did compact/tristar change their exhaust from 'molded-in' vertical port to a angled plastic filter basket?

Personally i use envirocare paper bag new cloth bag and dome motor filter and the diffuser filter cap.Never had an issue there is so little dust from the carbon brushes i dont have dust allergies so the filter fresh is not needed.Beside it restrics air flow alot so i dont use it period.My Compact C9 did so well in my friends renovation i did use it for picking up dry whall dust
Nothing i mean nothing got past the paper bag .I was impress.

Hey
I'm not even going out on a limb. You can make your own.
Put item in pic 4 in blower port. Get about 1-3 inches of PVC pipe same diameter. Attach PVC to insert.
Pic 3 buy 2 of these.
Put one in the outside of filter in picture yes it is a car cold air intake knockoff. Line outside of air filter and line inside with shop vac foam filter. Use hose clamp to attach filter to PVC.
This setup is plug runs $6. PVC pipe not even $1. Foam filters $3-$5. Intake filter $5-$7.
So the setup there selling in pic 1 is identical to air filter. If you insulate it it will filter dust alot better than that. It's not going to cost you $20. Air filter clean I'd say 3 months and take out foam pieces blow off after each use.
I may have joked before but I know this would work. It's ugly as heck but it will be that $50 filter and not restrict airflow. I don't know about HEPA one this would work. I personally think any filter they sale looks like crap. I've not had a problem with mine.
Glue a felt or similar thick material to the plug insert would be just as effective if not more than any of the goofy over priced non working turds.
