Thanks for info... It would be great for collector, just finding right person looking for vintage. Not too many people would install in modern kitchen, although it would right alongside my vintage washer in the basement. And hate to junk.

I like old vintage stuff too... something about the simplistic style and durability... Not sure what to do with this thing... install it or sell it to someone that appreciates it (whatever its worth), or donate it to habitat store (not worth my time searhcing for right person). Or what the...

Anyone have idea what expect or ask to get out of it .. heard prices from hard to give way to retail for vintage collector. And maybe just EBAY parts

PotScrubber III never installed still on shipping crate.. Has reversible panel color package as well, Harvest Gold, Almond, White and Copper. Racks are light green. Also have box spare parts including couple filler solenoid valves, main pump, looks like a door seal, cap, some baskets and...

I agree, can't necessarily compare warranties for older machines, especially for DIYers, or washer enthusiasts, that don't mind patiently scavenging craigslist for those certain jewel models or rescuing off curb for cheap, or free. Worth considering if looking at used dealer prices. Seems...

see these debates popping up in other threads so thought I'd create a thread for it The Alliance Speed Queen seems to be most agreed new washer to purchase for its simplicity and durabilty.. Have to admit, I like idea of getting one, but maybe thats the vintage/nastalgic side of me.. Some...

I do plan to keep the old Maytag operational. I agree, don't think we'll ever find 1970's durabilty in any of new machines, even a TOL FL. However I'm also in need of larger capcity with fam of 5. Changing belts ~3-5yrs sounds lot better than possbile clutch, gearbox, bearings or seals from...

thanks for looking... received offer from another member with complete mint looking control panel, with timer and DIAL :).

It worked, just intermittently stalled starting spin, or would not turn off at end of cycle. Removed contact pad that had burned off and cleaned what was left. Last 3 loads cycled fine. $85 not bad, just thought I'd ask the guys here who like to rescue these vintage machines and may have...

I took it apart and has couple burnt contacts. Probably could rebuild it if I could find the contact strips. Thought someone here might have one. Thanks.

Belts really aren't big deal, just wondering extent of 'issue'. Doubt I'll ever find another set to run ~40 yrs. The last Newton MT DC sound good but they are already ~15 years old. Then there's thought of the dozens of cheap used WP DD setups being traded in for HE units.

Looking to replace Maytag A206 center dails. Looking for something simple and dependalbe. SPEED QUEEN (SQ) seems fto be the only modern machine that fits the bill... Only real complaint I read is about the belts getting ate up.. Can anyone explain? Is this really a problem, or most often whiny...

Anyone have old 204454 timer laying around? Seen couple on EBAY ~$85+.. Have 40yr old Avocodo Green Maytag set. Have been used regularly since parents original purchase in ~1974 by them till ~2000 and have been my only set at my house since with little issue. Washer has ALL ORIGINAL except...
