#12, WCI tried to make the earlier westinghouse built washers resemble a 1-18: some even had a window lid and similar control console :) When the lid was lifted,instead of big capacity basket of a 1-18 there was a smaller more 14LB capacity basket for a washload similar to a filter flo GE...

Could say Frigidaire started to go bad once they became a WCI brand about 1980,and The 1-18 washer replaced by Westinghouse and Franklin washers that had smaller tub capacity and certain durability issues along with indexing basket 6-way wash action :)

model #s of subject equipment: GE : 347 Admiral : 22x12,discovered this model was avalible in 1949,but mine is very early 1950 Philco : c1347,probably will do full fix on this one if all the important parts are in good order(tonearm,motor,idler tire,etc.) Amp should be easy enough fix:identify...

Bad bearings of the washplate shaft from failed seal-junked one of those about 10 years ago-as i recall kind of a concentric shaft where washplate bearings do not rotate when locked for spin.The undersized splines for the washplate were nearly stripped and the BLDC pancake motor was damaged from...

#1,subjects badly positioned for photography at the moment,but pics coming soon since there is interest :) #2,oh yeah,i know this stuff-got lots of this~1920-85,about 80 tube items: some of it is just historical items i do not need to work correctly,certain items get the full fix :) I have...

Just picked up a GE HiFi-phono,amfm,12"woofer,about 5w amp-pretty decent condition,person i got it from said they tried it and it started smoking-do not know if this has across the line noise capacitor that might have been cooking off :) early 1950 date codes noticed. 2nd-admiral TV,pretty brown...

very cool and congrats :)

Almost seems like bad contact in the timer-momentarily cutting off power to the motor during just that low speed first spin.

If that dishwasher is similar to a cheapie 2019 FD I given and junked a couple years ago , there is a brushed PMDC wash motor and a PM wet rotor drain pump.The dishwasher i was given had bad door switch-something these are very prone to.Dishwasher was grubby,so junked it.

WP should have stuck with Emerson motors instead of China junk...Bearing probably did not get greased during manufacture.Old VMWs,at least the washplate versions,have Emerson motors with a radial fan on top.I have an Amana agipeller VMW of just about the same vintage as the subject washer you...

Presuming the motor is a 2-speed round GE? I have a round Emerson from 1971 that i could dig up and check if you cannot something closer.

another thing to check with these is buildup of corrosion between the aluminum basket hub and basket causing wobble of the basket-remove basket and scrape off corrosion so basket runs true again-when i fixed this condition with one of these,also had to repair hole worn i outer tub from wobbling...

#8- model 30 roadster,somebody converted the wheels to 1920s Chevy Jaxon disc wheels and also installed ~1932 Chevy carb.The original starter generator is in place and indeed silent-step on starter button and you only hear air huffing through carb until engine lights off.I had a thread with this...

a WDT720PADB2 . found in lumberyard dumpster: skids were bent up and interior had a greasy film,so no repair evaluation.The wash pump was a dinky 55w directional PM wet rotor and it was shot-bushings badly worn.Might keep the control board since it is probably good.

I might insulate the workshop area and install a small AC in there-the 10"exhaust fan installed probably will not keep things comfy when it is 100* :) there are companies that make insulating panels that fit the corrigated walls. For winter heat,will install a couple 5KW diesel fueled "parking...
