lint filter for a Westinghouse slant front D-6

[classiccaprice]

Since I've not had luck looking for a replacement, I was looking for someone who could give me some measurements for a D-6 lint filter.  Judging by the backplate, I know the width is 13" and height is 11.5."  

 

<span style="font-size: 14px;">The way I figure it, I have two options...</span>

 

<span style="font-size: 14px;">1) My original thought was to modify a 13" by 9" cake pan.  This isn't ideal, but might work and would be cheaper.</span>

 

<span style="font-size: 14px;">2) I'm looking into perhaps getting a </span>facsimile<span style="font-size: 14px;"> replicated at a sheet metal shop.  At the very least I need the depth of the filter and the measurements of the metal vs. screened area.</span>

 

<span style="font-size: 14px;">I know RevvinKevin has a similar design on his machine... Hey Kevin!!!</span>

Thanks Kevin!

I do appreciate it. I was thinking it would be a nice thing to have. The old girl creates a lot of lint!

IINM it pops up every time you open the door. We had an earlier one and the screen was identical.
