Since I actually have the Lexan inlet hooked up to my Model 26, I will certainly forgive the omission! I did get some screws for my inlet and they do go in at an angle but it should work. I had my local vacuum repair shop solder the wire on (didn't want to burn my finger again) so it should hopefully work.
Do you happen to know what style of inlet would have been installed when the Model 26 was for sale?
