The red and black push button switch for the panel light on my Maytag washer has gone bad. Any one know of a source or have one of these they would sell? Maytag washer model 142

Mine is a 1977 Sears unit made by Heil. Amazingly old but still cranking out the cold. It's a bit undersized for the house and struggles on the hottest days but still going faithfully. Compressor went out in 1986, found a guy that was retiring and had left over parts, replaced that for $300.00...

Love it! These old AC units fascinate me. I've seen ads for Vornado ACs but can't say that I've ever seen the real deal. Glad you got it!

Great find.Can't think of anything to say that hasn't been said already. Happy you found them. Couldn't have gone to a more deserving person!

Here are mine. These are becoming more and more rare in this area. #1 is a 60's model GE used in my workshop on hot summer days. #2 is cir.1957 Coldspot, not currently in use but works perfectly. #3 is Catalina "Big Tex" 25,000 btu that my son uses in his workshop. Catalina was a store brand...

This "home" was featured on TV's INSIDE EDITION tonight! Their take is that it will be sold and flipped.

I love the solid tub Hotpoints, too. I need another washer like I need a hole in my head, but I sure would love to find a 60's vintage solid tub Hotpoint!

Ahh the old floor furnaces. Used to be very popular around here, usually either nat. gas or propane. Many (if not most) have been replaced with forced air systems in this area so that central air could be added. Many of these replacements use the hole in the floor where the floor furnace was as...

You have every right to brag, I know I would be! Now that's what I call a Car! Congrats

Bought ours new Jan. of 2004. Still going today with never a repair so far. Noisy, feels cheap but has never failed us.

Any way you could get us a pic of this unit? Sounds interesting!

I like it!! One of my favorite console designs.

Try Johnstone Supply, Graingers, or Ebay. You may also find the spacers/bushings needed to repair your motor on line at McMaster-Carr.

Interesting move there Robert! How many of us noticed the fine print in the ad--"tune in to Meet Me In St. Louis Sunday night April 26"?

"Elegant simplicity" comes to mind when I see this. That is surely a timeless classic. I love it, glad you got it!

I have been toying around with a Speed Queen, model #AWS45 NW that has trouble getting up to speed during spin. On many loads, the spin cycle is almost finished by the time the tub gets up to speed. I have replaced the belt, replaced the tensioner spring on the idler pulley, still with same...

Thanks for posting these Brent. Very beautiful.

Brent, YES, someone (me) would love to see your pictures of vintage hvac units!

Mine would be a 1958 Maytag. I found this at an estate sale still hooked up and in use. The house was about the same vintage, so it's quite possible this washer had sat in the same place for it's 50+ years of service and appears to have been well cared for. This old gal was quite happy where she...

Longest lasting known to me would have to be the 1964 Maytag I picked up at an estate sale a couple years back. Still humming along beautifully.
