I’m “only” 37 and I’m sure there are other members in their 40s and under ( not sure exactly how old you are as you’re contemplating such things). I’m slowly restoring my 1904 craftsman and since modern appliances didn’t generally exist prewar I’ve settled on 40s and 50s appliances (and some...

Can y’all help me understand how high end and or rare this set is? I really want a suds saver but this set looks immaculate. I’m in Oregon and could make a trip out of it if they’re worth it. I don’t really have the space to collect washers and dryers either so I’m trying to patiently wait until...

Looks to be an Electric dryer. What model washer is that? Is it a suds saver by Chance?

Hi there, I am looking at getting a 1962 Frigidaire imperial refrigerator off marketplace. However, it currently does not work. Last I had chatted with the current owner. They said the compressor wouldn’t come on at all and at that point it sounded like it could be a simple electrical issue...

Hi folks, cross posting just in case! I should be getting this 1962 frigidaire imperial in the next week. Model number and features are in the picture. it is in pretty nice shape but is missing a couple items id like to replace to complete it. The ice trays, ice ejector, removable egg servers...

That's helpful, thanks! So what makes a series? what are the "bookends"? EG sounds like AX08 to AX12 would be the high end models...? what are some rarer high end machines that you covet?

So in reading posts, I’ve come to realize that there seems to be a complicated Maytag (washers and dryers both) hierarchy that I still do not fully understand. Has someone covered this in another thread or is there a resource available? How do y’all know that an if an A808 is better than an...

This is too far for me to go get it but it’s now free. If no one gets this soon, it’s going to the trash per the author/ OP! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/181146021133751/

Doesn't look like its free at least...."make an offer". Doesn't have the upper sprayer so i think that means its an KA17 or older.

Patrick/Pdub - thanks for the suggestion. I called them and they looked at the motor. It needs to be re-wound which would cost $450. Thats seems reasonable considering the time he'd have to put into it. Before committing to this, as its moderately crazy, I thought id ask if folks have parts or...

Awesome, thank you!!!!! I will contact them :)

I'm getting conductance thru the switch when activated, so I dont think thats the issue. Rather im suspect of the wound wires having only 2-3 ohms resistance to the motor casing. Can anyone recommend who might re-wire this? I'm in the Portland Oregon area. Without a re-wire i have a very large...

May have found the issue. When I check resistance from the case to the black wire in the foreground I get infinite ( I would expect this). When I check resistance between the red and black in the foreground connected when the black spring gizmo is depressed I get a solid connection / 0 ohms...

Took the motor bottom off. I could use guidance - what next/ what am I looking at?

Anyone aware of any resources or videos to take a similar type of motor apart by chance? Not sure what I’m doing or looking for ( going in blind!).

If you’re willing to throw in the towel then I would suggest trying the hydrogen peroxide. I’ve tried that on white wool with red wine stains and it completely removes it every time. I don’t even spot test wool anymore, I just wet the entire sweater in the bathtub and then dump as much peroxide...

Bradfordwhite - There is a big point to be made here. All power generation that we have generates waste. Even the “cleanest” forms tend to require development and construction, or (mined) products that result in sometimes awful environmental degradation ( usually in counties with poor...

There’s a couple of 1950s washers and dryers in Pennsylvania if anyone’s near there. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/990144718813701/
