tri power screen original vs reproduction??
Hi, are there any identifying features to distinquish a reproduction screen element from original screen element?
I have two that look about the same but one is taller. One might have a slightly smaller mesh. Any opinions out there?
Thanks!

On an original there will be a total of 3 holes visible on the height of the screen. Not 3 complete holes, as the top and bottom holes may not be complete, but 3 holes with all the pieces added up. Reproductions frequently have more holes. There is also a distinctive tooling mark left on the inside rim on originals. See attached pictures.

Hi, check this out....
I was amazed at the difference between the two. I assume the taller one is reproduction (sad). Shorter one is original based on your assessment.
Have you seen any obvious differences in air cleaner lids? Thanks, Terry

If you look at these two. The one on the right in the bottom picture is original. But I was surprised at the difference between the two. Rather cheesy if you ask me.
