Kodak Magnus 800 air filter source needed

[Whitaker]

Hello:

We have a Kodak Magnus 800 that has an external air filter, part no. 57-8792D-B.

Does anyone know where I can get one of these filters? I looked on the Kodak web site, but I couldn't find it; they may require a service agreement... I'm not sure.

I don't need it yet, but we've had this machine for a while now and I would like to have one on the shelf.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Mike

Google knows all around
Particulate filter for Kodak CTP - Color Printing Forum
Or try to reach China makers (if you know how to write in that language).
My friends in Russia modernized their Magnus to use some kind of auto aftermarket air filter.

Thanks Vald, I did google and contacted the guy that you're linking to. He has used filters...
I don't know any other language, so China is out, BUT, I like your idea on modifying the filter to take an aftermarket filter! I'll look into that, thanks!

You are welcome.
Russian Magnus rework looked like a little bit barky job (piece of plywood, 3 long bolts and rubber foam around to seal the slots) but works great.
They used low profile (4" height) round shape air filter.
Unfortunately I did not have any contact with them since 2011.
I think any vacuum cleaner air filter will work the same way with a good final result.
Just turn on your imagine and create some simple solution how to keep the filter to be fixed properly.
Good luck!

I just ordered one from Kodak 800-472-2727 (option #1). Pricey $330.00. Ebay has one at $150.00 if your want to go that route.
