Default The paper filters

Although the old Original first design foam filters are cool, they are a mess to maintain.

The foams were replaced soon after with the user friendly paper with wire mesh sandwiched by a durable rubber base.
There was no need for the round brass screen supports any longer.

The second design filter A220C had a ‘soldered’ mesh for support and is extremely hard to find. I have a boxed set of NOS 1967 filters.

Next up is the third and final design filter that uses a fine clean mesh with no solder. This filter is readily found today.
