i measured my portlights thinking they were Beckson and the lenses are 4.75 x 11.0. None of the Beckson portlights on this site have those dimensions. No markings of brand anywhere visible inside or out. Anyone here ever buy screens and know what to get? A forum search didn't yield anything useful. Thanks.

Our 34 has Beckson 4x10 portlights - when I called Beckson a few years ago to order replacement lenses because the screens had left imprints on them, they sent me new screens at no charge. Beckson's site lists the OD of the lens at 4 5/8" x 10 7/8".

Yes I have beckson 4x10 portlights too.
Jibes, I think you need some new bifocals or else stop buying the cheap China tape measures.
:poke:
Good luck replacing the gaskets after inserting the new screens.

Thanks all. I think I found my problem. My Harbor Freight tape measure was off by a few fractions and my reading glasses were all sweaty :>) .
Dave G. I measured the sealing side of the lens instead of the frame side. Now it looks like 4.625 x 10.875 one of your Beckson sizes #410. I'll send an order soon. It seems those lenses have a draft angle to get them out of the mold. Thanks again.
