My plan is to field-strip the thing Saturday, diagram out the bottom
side of the lid, and take all that and a tape measure down to the
big-box. Hopefully I'll find something that fits, or can be made to.
(I figure the borg would get cranky if I carry the lid and motor
into the store and start test-fitting stuff.)

Just take the top of the vac to the store. Then you can't go wrong.
