Bev Air BM23 / Where do I find a replacement air hose?

[akrawiec]

Ok so I'm in the process of a rehab project on a 20+ year old bev air BM23, everything works except the hoses were pretty fugly. The tower cooling vent, the funky wire reinforced vinyl tube that runs from the condenser housing up the bottom of the tower....I need to replace this thing, does anyone know where I could buy an original replacement, an after market replacement, or some generic wire reinforced tubing that'll work in place of this?

This hose? If so then just measure it and go to the hardware store and get something similar with the same diameter. Just a thought.

Already tried that and I haven't found one...nothing the right size locally, at Lowes, or home depot.

The inner diameter usually matters more than the outer. What is the inner diameter?

Try a vacuum cleaner repair shop. Looks like a typical hose for a canister model.

Those are 1 1/2 inch to 2 inches...this hose is more narrow.

Reminds me of an old "bonnet" style ladies hair dryer.
