Making new CDC Phoenix air filters

[mxshift]

I've been working with a few folks who are restoring systems that use CDC Phoenix hard drives. Finding air filters for these drives has been impossible. I reached out to HEPA who was one of the original OEMs and have been working with them to get new filters made. Since the unit price decreases with quantity, I'm trying to gauge interest from the broader community. If you have a CDC Phoenix and would like new air filters, please let me know.

Just in case someone comes along looking for these filters, I was able to have them manufactured for $105 each at qty 10.

Very cool. I wonder if they can make some for an RK05 as well...

If it's a rectangular filter, most likely. I'd need to see one.

Yes, the filter itself is rectangular, but one would either have to carefully separate the adapter pieces to reuse them or fabricate new ones.

Oh, yeah. Same deal. I'm sure they can make them.
