High end audio
When it comes to high end audio and audiophiles or just high end audio in general, I think it’s mostly about the listening experience, I have several audio systems here from a vintage Sansui 7070, pioneer SX-880(had a 780 45-50w per Chan) Carver separates, to newer Rotel and...
Hello!
Over the past month my main dryer which is a 1960 maytag 642C has not been shutting off properly. I am led to believe that this has to do with the moisture control. I replaced the board thanks to Lorain furniture, and still I’m having issues with the timer not advancing when in “wash n...
I would like to upload a full cycle on YouTube of all 3 maytags at some point as there are no vids on the 142C, the A-502 and the A-103. For the agitator to be so basic, it definitely moves some clothes and makes some nice turnover. It’s very impressive.
All the parts that needed to be replaced have been replaced with no hassle and the A-103 is back in business once again. I have a strong feeling this thing was used for less than a year before being put away.
Thank you ben! I could have saved a few bucks and rebuilt my other 3 valves for what I spent on the NOS valves, although it might have been worth getting the new valve only for the fact that id have a spare.
Hi john
I plan on keeping the original inlet valve, actually it does indeed need the rubber diaphgrams, I did take them apart and clean them to the best of my capabilities and the hot side works flawlessly, the cold side just drips in then the valve opens. Does anyone know where to get the...
All back together and although it runs like new, it needs valves as these are too far gone from sitting with hard water in them, and the timer motor is shot, it’s possible that it might have been defective hence the lack of wear and tear on the machine. What surprises me more than anything is...
Oh, I know! I used to get them from the appliance place I used to work at for $15!
Thanks so much Robert for the link, I just called and got one from a place about 2 miles from my house for $45 which I’m not happy about but considering I need to get these back together tonight, beggars can’t be...
good news and bad news
good news is that I got the ball hinges and glides, Bad news is that the injector part 206154 is NLA as of last year. I knew I should have ordered more than 2 when I had the chance!
yes, I had the 806 connected to 120 as I only have one 240 at the moment in the basement. I will be putting another outlet in the basement soon as I have another 240 line that was supposed to be for an electric range and it isn't being used as I have a gas range. now that you mention it, when I...

The thing that appealed to me with the 502s was the logo/color and features. For something that seems middle of the line they are a very unique yet very simple set of machines. Those also came out of a house that was a complete time warp and are just about as immaculate as the A103 and...
I actually ordered the cycle selector tonight as there was a NOS one on eBay for $20. Technically I don’t need it but if I can get parts together I can hopefully keep these running for another 30 years or so. Not sure of the condition of the timer motor on the A103 just yet though, I might be on...
