Fog, last spring we assumed that you have a EC 65 filter - if that's the case, there is a second mounting for the handle - the handle will just stick out more to the back. If both are broken, the replacement part is ECX11194AT, if there is only 1 mounting, then you will need a new top, for the EC 60 the part is ECX1243. The problem is that were not 100% sure which unit you have (the 2 guesses were based on the old owners correctly telling you that the filter takes 6lbs DE.

Here's a link to Haywards filter page (the filters you want to look at are the Perflex Extended Cycle)

If you can ascertain which filter is yours (the pictures are only a little help, but # of securing bolts may help narrow it down), then you'll have the part# to try to get from E-Bay or other source. If you need any help just ask (at least with the link - we'll all be looking at the same picture )
