    VACUUM FILTERS

    Anybody use this kind of toner vac? If so, where do you get replacement bags? I am having trouble locating one. It's like me, kinda old.

    Re: VACUUM FILTERS

    That looks more like a shop vac than a copy vac. Do you have a model number?

      I've never seen one like that in 32 years. I thought the one built into the bottom of the tool case was a good idea ... until I lifted it. =^..^=
      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

          Wow, that's an old sucker...we had one like it at the first place I started almost 30 years ago...

          Have you tried to contact 3M directly?

            Minus the hose, that looks just like Grandpas urn.

              Looks like the offspring from Star Wars "R2D2" and Borderlands "Claptrap" - never seen this model. We used to have nilfisk vacs in our shop but swapped them with ATRIX (that one with the bucket-filters).

                It is over 30 years old. The 3M site does not list any bags for it. Time for a new one, I reckon.

                        Hi

                        What do the bags look like?

                        Can one not find a compatible?

                          We went ahead and used a shop vac paper bag. It's a little small, but it seems to contain the toner without dusting everywhere.
