Thanks a ton! This might just make my day, despite being hideous, Dave

Email sent! My grandparents had that coffee maker, and I would love to have one just like it. Yes it's ugly as sin, but I drank a lot of coffee from one of those. It's not about the machine, but about many years of happy memories with loved ones. I sent you an email, Dave The sort of...

GE Noise. I now have 3 GE FF washers. Anyone want a free lower MOL one in Cincinnati? It needs a new transmission (large capacity). As for noise: My grandmother had one, which I now have in use. Its pump leaked and the water displaced the lubricants from the clutch bearings. When it ran...

Look up: Look up our webmaster/Fearless Leader Unimatic1140's restoration of the 1957 Lady Kenmore under the Photos tab. That project was so far beyond your worst-case scenario it's not even funny. A Whirlpool belt drive washer is more of an exercise in meticulous work rather than rocket...

I've been dealing with a bit of rust-through in outer tubs lately and I'd like to know how best to address it. I've got a TOL 1983 GE Filter Flo mentioned in another thread with a pencil-eraser-sized rust hole in the sump area of the outer tub. It is not near any hose connections. My other...

Odd accessory. Did anyone notice the listing in the ad of an optional accessory set of locking casters? I cannot imagine how much of a pain it would have been to level a full size washer on casters, or what might happen in the spin cycle if it wasn't leveled properly. I Imagine the casters...

Super Unimatic 2.0. lebron, look up Robert's (Unimatic1140) Super Unimatic 2.0. It is controlled remotely via a computer. It certainly gets the job done. Dave

1983. I would've expected something a little newer, perhaps from the late 80s. I also have the electric dryer that's a match to it. Dave

Pics! I have the control panel end caps and top. I had to remove them to get it to fit into my Honda Element. I will reinstall them once I have done a few test washes and made sure that I do not need to get into the control panel. Any thoughts as to year manufactured or where this one was...

I recently acquired an odd GE Filter Flo that is in decent cosmetic shape. It's a higher-end model and it lacks wash and rinse temp selection, instead it's all controlled by the cycle selection buttons on the left. I shall post pics after I get home from work. It looks like a larger capacity...

Dryer. That is an earlier machine of the later center-dial era. This washer looks to date from 1966-1974, note the blue strip instead of the later gold at the bottom of the control panel and the white dial face instead of brushed aluminum. The model number of the washer likely goes something...

New vs. old. I like the Filter Flo. They are superior at removing lint and pet hair. The cycle time on a Filter Flo is also relatively short. Filter Flos, however, use more water than any other washer I know of per pound of laundry washed. If you want a new front loading washer, take a hard...

Maytag transmissions. Between the AM / AMP series and the Orbital, there were 3 similar, but different Maytag transmissions. Working backwards they are: Large capacity tub (short transmission). This transmission's guts are the same as the taller regular capacity transmission used with the...

Changes. Well, the suspension is quite different, the polypump is different, the cabinet is slightly different, and the control panel is very different. The basic design of the guts was a carry-over, as was the slower stroke transmission and old agitator design. I believe the inner tub was a...

Maytag Belts. I think they are part # 12112425. They are easy to get, and even easier to install. There are also lots of Youtube videos that show you how to install them. Dave

It's a mix. There is some veneer, but quite a lot of solid teak as well. The shelves are all solid (and heavy), but some of the fronts of the modules are veneer. I believe the doors are solid. The base is also solid. The veneer is not applied to anything cheap, but to nice sturdy wood. I...

This thread is an offshoot of Rollermatic's thread on his appliances available to new homes. There are pictures of Mike Dishwashercrazy using an Escalera Staircat to load appliances into his truck. I also have a Staircat and have created this thread to elaborate on its virtues. An Escalera...

Escalera. I'll start a new thread regarding the Escalera Staircat. I never knew such a thing existed until I saw a service tech using it a few years ago. When he left the business, I bought it from him. Best Tool Ever! Dave[this post was last edited: 9/1/2016-14:35]...

You have my attention. I'll keep my ears open.

Still not done.
