1967 Frigidaire Custom Deluxe with rotisserie.

How terrible to have passive aggressive comments! Still it's all in the interpretation. Best to ignore it and stay strong like you have learnt to do. I think you over loaded the machine. Just saying so as it's a sure way to wear out the gear box and the brass drive dog. When are you putting...

Really good turn over with these Blackstone based machines http://https//youtu.be/R-gXhigDa2s

But those were the local ones We had frigidaire, maytag, kleenmaid and other well-built American machines too.

Hoover, Malleys and Simpson were the main players in our market if I am correct. One lot used the wig-wag gear boxes and the others were Blackstone based. We are a country of top loaders, just like our brothers across the pond.

Hi everyone, I just scored 2 mid 70s Hoover 600 top loaders today. From Melbourne, of course. They always are there for some reason. One is a 625 with heater to boost up the water temp. So stoked to have so many spare parts 😀 They arrive tomorrow afternoon😛😛

New 1971 pump Hi all, recently I found a used 1971 pump in black rigid plastic. Installed it and it works great. So glad to get that cheap white plastic aftermarket pump out. I'll keep it as a spare

No metal washers in the kit And yes there is a notch the spin tub has to line up on. I'm lucky - my machine hasn't seen much use and there is hardly any electrolytic reaction to the metal. Apparently the part with the spring-loaded rubber seal and ceramic disk are almost all gone. I'd better...

Yes please!! Thanks Fred, if you have time to scan that I would be very grateful. I was advised to put the rubber side down, and I did. Later today I will put it on the proper way. But those scans would be MOST appreciate. Thanks again for all your help. Cheers, Erik

Thanks for that Well at least I have all the parts now. Could I ask one more question? How does the ceramic part sit? Rubber side up or down? Thanks.

oil splatter Hi Fred, I pulled the machine apart today as the leak had gotten so bad. The oil spatter was caused by water borne oil dipping on to the top of the transmission and then being distributed on the walls of the machine when it spun. The gasket's fine. There was grease packed in...

Here are some pics a friend sent me Here are some pics a friend sent me of a 600 series tub seal. Just need to work out how I can use this with the items in the pic I posted before. Thanks

Inside oil spatter pics Here is what the inside of my machine looks like after the leak started. Not sure where this oil has come from?

Rather than HA002? Rather than HA002? BTW Merry Christmas guys. Yeah I see from the research I've done there is a large rubber block mount at the base of the enamel tub machines, and this is no longer available. However I'm told that it's possible to repurpose it with what is available for...
