the cutout hole is 6 3/8". who knows on the brand, seems to be the original with no brand stamps anywhere.. I've found a few at 7.8" OD as well.

thanks!

Oh well. Worth a shot.

30 years is a long time to find a perfectly matching replacement. I replaced my 40 year old ones, though, and it wasn't too bad. I forget exactly what I had to do, but it wasn't hard by any means to make them fit. It's easy to make the hole a bit bigger or rotate the ring a bit to relocate the holes. Making the hole smaller takes a bit more work ;)

yup, it's a Beckson 6" deck plate. get the screw in one instead of the pop out.
