And the bottle's for.. Hi Alanendaro, Robert and everyone else-- Somewhere in one of the manuals it mentioned something about the bottle is where you put something like Calgonite. At some point during the last rinse (IIRC) there is a small hose, like Robert mentions, that diverts water into...

and the last one! the overall view, JIC...

Pict 3 of 4 and another view... this time of the neck showing it has only one thread around its entire circumference/diameter/radius/roundness WHATEVER! You get the idea...

Here's the bottle picts Ok Robert, here you go! Sorry for the delay, and the pict res is high, but i thought it would be better in this instance or accuracy purposes. Hope this helps!

It is kinda strange... Hi folks-- Glad to be of service, i definetly found the manuals interesting too! The silverware "rack" is somewhat bizarre, but it works! The James i have isn't running yet, pending a pressure switch R+I (thank you Robert for the advice!) and then continue with the...

Hi gang! Brought home a Kenmore 600 portable DW tonight, in phenominal shape and with manuals. Not sure how old it is though-- any KM experts out there got an idea? The model # is 587.64450. The serial is 87981. Its a top-loader with a split-removable Roto-Rack on top. Not the '74 KM Roto-Rack...

What color cap? Apparently i'm not the only one with missing parts! I have two older Maytag washers both with the crystal center knob, both with the center-dial cap in place. Both are silver/chrome: is that what you need? Otherwise i have the knobs too. Let me know-- email is...

Thanks Bobby! What do you recommend to replace to restore, as a general rule-of-thumb, and what are some things i should check for other than the obvious (noisy bearing, leaks, etc)?

$4849 and less than 2 hours left... will it see 5? I would love to meet and shake the hand of the owners, whoever they are: if they don't know about this website, they sure as hell ought to! Not many in their "right mind" would shell out that kinda jing for something like this.... unless, of...

Did i read that right, 'cast iron'? Just clarifying here: the big blue wash arm was made of cast iron? Same as the commercial Hobarts i've seen and used? And the part about using commercial-grade parts: fascinating! thanks to all for the insights, i love learning the "why's" engineer's do the...

Thanks kennyGF-- Otherwise, i figured i'd resort to matching the color as best as possible with whatever paint i can find. Let me know-- my email is [email protected].

Ok, i should've known better than attempt finding the cap for my '58 Maytag 142S online in parts stores, but you never know. I do know now, from pictures i have seen here, that the missing center cap was a copper color, not silver, like i have seen before. Question is, does anyone know where i...

What about shipping and freight to wherever? Being someone who has seen many dream machines over-the-hill and far-away out of reach, does anyone who want this baby know of freight charges and so on to ship it? Its not a full-blown washer, weighing several hundred pounds-- is it that expensive...

My keyboard shorted out from drooling... Note to self: wear bib or move keyboard away from slack jaw when staring at hot appliance picts; keyboard saturation from drool is not good! Thanks all for the pictures (....!!!!!!!!) and special thanks to Toggleswitch for the link to Mrs Cochran-- i...

The very first dishwasher, invented by who? Here's a question maybe somebody has an answer to: i remember the story about somebody, can't remember her name, but she was the first person to design an actual dishwashing machine, and it was her company that was or became KitchenAid. Sounds like it...

Thanks! Hey everyone THANK YOU for ending the mystery for me... Now, next question is, did Frigidaire use the same type of Pulsator as in the 70's up to the bitter end? Does anyone have a picture of one of these end-of-the-line babies? Would love to see one! Oh, and by the way, i worked as a...

Hey folks-- Quiz for you Frigidaire freaks like me: what was it and what year was it that led to the downfall of the famous Pulsator agitator? Is this the "shreditator" i hear mentioned from time to time?

Whirlpool and Microsoft Seems like Whirlpool is out to take over the world... ala Microsoft perhaps? Is ANYBODY in appliance world still doing there own thing, not owned by Whirlpool? Who are they and is there stuff worthwhile?

What did Whirlpool do to Kitchenaid? Hey gang-- Anyone know what exactly Whirlpoo did to KA now that its been awhile? Is it still all junk or did they leave KA alone pretty much?
