Baker Hydro skimmer replacement basket

[frbruno64]

The original skimmer baskets for the Baker Hydro skimmers finally need to be replaced. My guess is they are original from 1971!

The OEM part number is 51-B-1026. I have found what appear to be OEM replacements and a never ending litany of unbranded parts.

I'm confused on what to purchase as a replacement item, with first quality and then price in mind. My perspective is to purchase quality items unless the OEM part is unreasonably overpriced.

Any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated.

Only way to deviate from OEM on old stuff is to have a confirmed cross reference part. Otherwise its a shot in the dark
