I am now taking reservations for rubber reproduction Kenmore Scrubber Caps and 1955-1959 GE Filter-Flo rubber mounts. I'm going to sell them for $75 + shipping. I have sold a few so far but want to gauge how much interest there is as next week the humidity is supposed to drop significantly...

Wow Jon, those are just beautiful congratulations!!!! You may have to take that transmission apart, and take the brake apart and give everything a good cleaning with solvent and then a charge of fresh oil if it appears the brake is stuck. In MultiMatic washers you don't want to rev the machine...

The colors of the control panels remind me of coin-op top-loading Norge washers from the early 1970's. But the shape of the handle and door is what I've never seen before. Maybe these were the last front load washers made by Norge?

At some point will you be willing to manufacture some of these to sell? Hi Ken, yes absolutely I'd like to try and make back some of my set-up costs, so I plan to sell GE Mounts and Kenmore Scrubber caps for $75 + shipping. Unfortunately these parts are expensive to make. I realize I'll never...

Morning all, thanks for the kind words! I guess u have already been asked about westinghouse boots, right ? Oh yeah, those are going to be really complicated due to their intricate shape but I'm sure it could be figured out in time. will you switch out all the original parts and use these new...

I had to buy some new equipment to make these parts look and feel as professional as possible: an air compressor, vacuum chamber and pump, pressure pot, vibration table, and a high-accuracy scale. I spent over $5,000 on equipment and experimenting with liquid polyurethane rubber to get the look...

Frigidaire 3-Ring Agitator parts: I’ve got the 1959 detergent cap made as well as the 1960. However the 1960 mold needs to be redone as there are some imperfections that I’d like to correct. The Lint Chaser and Circulator rings have come out well. I’ve also made a clear demonstration cap to...

Kenmore Scrubber Caps in the Original Gray and Other Fun Colors... I just love these Kenmore caps! While they originally came in dark gray and harvest gold, now we can make scrubber caps in any color we wish. These were the outer covers mounted on a special plastic cap made specifically for the...

The GE Filter-Flo mounts are just beautiful when brand new. I had an unused, new-old-stock Filter-Flo replacement mount to use as the original model to make the mold. The pan is held firmly and does not slip at all. Here is one of my new reproduction mounts on Ben's gorgeous 1958 GE...

Hi everyone, a few years back many of you may remember when Bud (sfh074) began making beautiful reproductions of Frigidaire rubber agitator parts. Then John E. (gyromatic) reproduced the rubber bladder for the Whirlpool combo transmission, enabling them to spin again. I knew that, at some point...

This is a very cool and extremely rare find Justin!!! Hopefully it wont be much of a challenge to get the washer running again.

Hi Neal, the original drain hose was long gone, but I've seen them and yes they do have that smaller diameter metal hook on them. Later ones has a suds-saver ball built into the end of the drain hose so you could save water in the outer tub and pump it back in for the next wash.

Hi Lawrence, on these very early machines the top can be installed in any position so you can have the lid open any direction you wish, but it was delivered with the top opening towards the rear.

Do the vertical ridges in the washtub help to keep clothing in that section for a more efficient rollover Hi Mike! My guess is they were meant to help with balancing since without a clutch the Frigidaire Unimatic accelerates during spin very fast.

Great find Robert! May I ask what the spin r.p.m. is? Greg 1140 rpm!

I forgot to post a picture of the tag that was inside the washer. I assume that is was placed on the outside of the machine at the appliance store attached with magnets. It says 1948 but it's a 49 model, but the store was close with its estimation. From the back of the tag you can see it must...

The next time you have the back off, it would be great if you could snap some photos, am very interested in seeing the balance ring mechanism. You can't see the harmonizer from the back of the machine it is bolted underneath the tub. Thankfully the machine is in such good shape that I don't...

Just a few hours away from home I just found a 1949 Frigidaire Unimatic which was posted on Facebook Marketplace. Went up there to pick it up and was thrilled to see it has the original tub with the harmonizer balance ring mounted on springs below the tub. These harmonizer machines are...

Congratulations Todd on the start of a fabulous new collection. Who knows maybe a solid tub Norge lurks somewhere on the HI islands!

Unfortunately, some people disregard data when it is conflict with their internal biases, so it sometimes goes in one ear and out the other, so to speak. and that can be said for all of us at one point or another, none of us are completely bias free in our lives, it's human nature in my...
