do I access the tub filter to clean it? The agitator itself can be removed as well by pulling straight up. No set screen on that model just a rubber stop ring. Could be stuck on there pretty good if it was never removed. If you do get it off put some vaseline or silicone grease on the splines...

what are the odds I find a matching Maytag These days it could take a while to find 70's Maytag washer or pair in decent condition without traveling. Much better chance of finding 1980's series "12" machines while waiting for a 70's MT to come along. Parts are interchangeable between the...

"My grandmother did estate sales in North Jersey" North Jersey is estate sale city. Hit a few good estate sales and one could set up and nicely furnish an average size household in short order for a fraction of retail cost and with better quality items as well.

how many years ago they stopped using it Late 70's would be my guess. A gold console SOH dryer was in service upstairs next one of those junky top loaders Maytag put their name on before they went under. So they were probably on their 3rd Maytag washer and 2nd dryer since 1964?

looks like it’s in immaculate condition That was my impression in the dim lighting , little to no rust or excessive wear, it was well cared for. Here is the sale listing. No washer photos: https://www.estatesales.net/NJ/Wyckoff/07481/3911259

Nice score! I was at that estate sale the first day and stumbled across that washer, it wasn't in the listing photos. Also, there was a 70's SOH dryer still in service upstairs. I was going to mentioned it here but didn't think anyone locally would be interested and I don't have room for...

fresh GL-1 90W oil should do the trick. Considering how the factory trans oil turns into molasses over time maybe a modern GL-4 oil might be the way to go? Sta-Lube GL-4 claims it is non-corrosive to yellow metals.

whip me up a batch of his mystery oil No big mystery to the trans oil. Sta-Lube 85w-90 GL-4 gear oil (or another GL-4 oil) will work just fine. The stock oil is just old, thick, oxidized, possibly water contaminated and some say wasn't the best quality to begin with. If fact with the oil so...

we also removed a 1991 Maytag 712. That A712 died way too young. With better care and some simple maintenance that machine could've run another 10 years. Whats with all that tan crud on the mounting stem and the outer tub, hard water area or cold washes with not enough detergent?

My neck of the woods, northern N.J. gets the big New York AM stations 77 WABC, 710 WOR. WABC plays some music on weekends. Down the shore in the summer there is Beach Radio 1160 AM and The Breeze 1410 AM. Both have decent 60-70's, some 80's play list and few commercials. We can also pull in...

why most all of the newer songs are simply unintelligible Because with few exceptions everything these days is generally ugly, boring and depressing: Music, movies, TV, fashion, automobiles, home decor, architecture.. Its a reflection of our increasingly dystopian society and culture like the...

contacts in the sockets are not corroded. Had problem with a fluorescent fixture, changed out the ballast a couple times still wouldn't work right. Finally replaced the lamp holder sockets- Fixed.

greater influence of Latinos/Hispanics. Not just laundry products. Gillette changed the scent on their Foamy shave cream from a pleasant soapy fragrance to some kind of stinky cheap cologne stench that doesn't wash off. Totally useable now. Lots of negative amazon reviews about the change...

buy 2700K led bulbs, no blueish light here. "The main problem with LEDs comprises two aspects: First, they emit excessive amounts of blue wavelengths, which are embedded in other wavelengths and therefore invisible to the naked eye."...

Photo 3 Looks like the tub spring eye bolts could use some adjustment to get the tub more centered.

I do believe the old style was better for our eyes. Better for the eyes and health in general. https://www.lewrockwell.com/2019/01/joseph-mercola/top-3-dangers-of-led-lights/ "LEDs emit a large amount of aggressive blue light that generates high amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and...
