That's the thing, I don't have the orginal filter, when I got it the vacuum didn't have a filter in it, but it had a bag in it though...
And yes I thought about one of those Tristar dome filters (and it seems tristar also had a flat version of that filter as well, that might be a better match to my vacuum and all I would have to do is drill a hole in the center for the mounting latch on the vacuum and it would be all set).

Dave, thanks for offering to get some info from your friend, I really appreciate that, I'm looking forward to hearing what he has to say about this vacuum.
