113179120 Craftsman Sears Shop Vacuum Filters

They make finding the right filter a puzzle so I am noting here:

Research Links

  • Model 113 Accessory Page 
  • 113177120/113177431/113177440 filter page – wrong filter but shows which other models use the same filter
  • 113177120 Manual PDF
  • Sears 17816 red stripe filter fits the 113177120 

     

     

    • Fits all Craftsman Sears Wet Dry 8, 12, 16, and 20 gallon vacs sold since 1986.
    • Also fits Craftsman 6 gallon models: 113.177431, 113.177440, 113.177120, 113177431, 113177440, 113177120
    • Replaces "Red Stripe" or "Red Line" Filters.
    • Measurements: 6-3/4" OD, 4-1/4" ID, 7-3/4" Tall  >>>> This is much too tall to fit 
    • Replaces Sears item number: 00917816000, 00917912000
    • Replaces Manufacturer Model Number: 17816, 17912
  • 17612 filter  – looks like it might be the filter – It's for the 4 gallon units but somehow my 6 gallon unit is using a much shorter filter than depicted in the manual

Tube Based Audio Amplifier Kits

There are a surprising array of tube amp kits on Ebay.

The audiophiles are nuts for tubes and kits have been created that combine silicon with vacuum tubes.  An example is shown in the following:

CPAP Manufacturers and Terminology

Manufacturers

  • Fisher and Paykel

I ended up buying a Fisher and Paykel HC221E on the black market.  As I understand it F&P sued ebay saying the aftermarket sales of their units was depressing their pricing power. Boo hoo.  Medical cartel strikes again.

Now I have to adjust the pressure.

Comments after the first night of usage: Woke up and I can feel how deeply I slept.  It's difficult getting accustomed to the mask but appears it will be worth it.
