A couple cups of Clorox bleach with hot water and detergent left to soak overnight will clean, disinfect and deodorize completely. Next day just let it complete its cycle. Do it all the time with my newly found vintage washers. Works like a charm.

Beautiful Beautiful set !!! Looks to be in mint condition. How about some pics with all the console light on ?

I'm so depressed !

Kevin: What a beautiful washer!!! American ingenuity, style and design all in one package. Seeing this makes me even sadder at how far downhill America has come. Jim

Thanks so much for the help What do you brace the bottom of the lever against? I just want to be carefull and not break anything. Jim

Hey guys, My Lady K is down (again)and I will be doing some work on her soon. My question has to do with tightening the belt. I've done it before, but never seem to be able to get it tight enough. What is the best way to tighten the belt? Do you use something with leverage to pull the motor...

Keeps the kids from getting out when you're washing them.

Love the video! Great wash action. Was just wondering, what type of lint filtration system does it use ? Jim

Malcolm, So sorry to hear about your SQ's I've been faithfully following your excitement with them and was hoping that for once someone would get a trouble free FL. I know that many FL's end up having balance problems because of their pedestals. The center of gravity just ends up being too high...

It's probably the 6 vane skirtless Roto-flex agitator that was introduced in 1966 and used for several more years after. This agitator does have 6 actual full size vanes.

Hope you all enjoyed. Jim
