A Filter-Flo goes back into service

Yes Alan you and me both

I had forgotten from growing up just active the "activator" was/is. When I jumped to Jetcones I never looked back until now. Its nice to rediscover a childhood treasure in these machines.

I found new gasket material for the outer tub, fits like a dream!!

 

 

[jetcone]

money shot

Wahoo!

I wondered about that top tub gasket. Later ones wouldn't fit because this tub has a straight side instead of a lip at the top of later FF tubs.

I see what you mean, the tub top needs a direct mount gasket yes. 

 

 I don't know about later machines but on these the trick is that the top slides onto the machine from the front so it has to all snug up when you bolt it at the back. Someone had glued foam to the top and all that did was push the foam away from the tub when you slid the top on. See how the gasket just wipes the undersurface once the top is all in place.
