    Is this Factory original

    Do you think this may be the cause of low power on the 79SF that my stepson just bought I think it may actually be the factory original filter. Some PO's should be shot!

      OK, I give up. What is the problem?

        You may want to contact the CDC, or EPA, or even NASA to discover what all is in there. You may need a permit to dispose of it.
        Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

        When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

                  Has to be factory original. It would take 30 years to get that much crap in a filter.
                  What a mess.

                      Funny how some people can mention current events and their posts are deleted, then someone else does the same and it's OK.

                      Oh yea.....it's not a democracy......
