Seek Duo-Art Theme Valve Lint Catchers
By Bruce Grimes

I am looking for the little lint catchers Duo-Art put just before
the Theme valves.  Can anyone help ?

 [ I asked for a little more information, and got a lot!  -- Robbie

Robbie, it kind of looks like two tiny funnels that have been cross-bred
with thimbles.  When pulled apart, the little fellas can fit tightly on
the end of your little finger, with the 9/64" tube nipple sticking up.

They're about 3/4" long, about 1/2" across at the wide portion, and
a 9/64" tube can be attached to the other.  Two are made to fit tightly
together, and a ca. 3/8 screen (like you'd put in a tiny pipe you might
smoke) is inside.  When you want to clean it out, you just take it out
of line and without disassembly, blow from the valve end and presto --
all the dust comes out.  You can also pull the two sections apart and
blow.

The lint catchers are standard hardware on all Duo-Arts.  I could supply
a photo if you want, but most people who've done much of anything with
Duo-Arts should be familiar with them.  Weren't they on the Stroud
Themodist you brought to the AMICA convention in California?
