I believe any filter head will fit any block (within TR2-4A).  I also suspect
the Tecalemit filter came on the TR4 block.

Paul, not all Moss catalogs are created equal ... neither of the ones I have
handy has those number associated with the filter head.

First I look at TRF, then I see if I can reuse the old one, then I "make do".

One good source of "making do" parts is

Their prices are reasonable, and they have no minimum order (although I think
there's a $5 minimum on shipping charge).
