Thanks all! We had some balance issues on the first go, but that seems to have settled. I'm going to try and get the dryer mounted on top - I just need to find the electrical splitter box... though that might be a reach. Henry, I hope you can liberate that set someday! Thanks Bradford...

It’s in decent shape. The top is a bit damaged from moisture but there’s no rust inside. There’s going to be a dryer on top anyway.

Some cleaning.

Something new… …to me at least.

It is a surprisingly well featured machine, completely convertible with hot and cold inlets. I wish I had the know-how to repair it! The only issue aside form some rust is the spin bearing is incredibly noisy.

I would love to keep it, but with the lack of service information, I have no idea how to change out the bearing, and its tough to use.

I'm giving away the GE version of this guy!

Regime? Re-home! Sheesh.

Howdy all! I have some machines I'm looking to find a new home for. Both machines are in northern NJ and both are free to a good home, but I would also be up for a trade. First is my Hoover 0512 in copper tone. Needs belts and gaskets. Second is my GE Portable which works but needs a spin...

Testing 1,2,3 Shakedown wash went ok. Let’s try a bobload.

I felt around in there and it seemed ok.

So, I said screw it and lopped off the bolts with my bolt cutters. They cut like butter. Since the damper pads are properly farooked, I took Dan's advice and decided I'd figure out the tension later. Off to the Depot, new stainless eyebolts, nuts and washers. Sorted. Propped her up and got...

Laundress, it was indeed the repair that failed. We were very careful when we did the work, and the wiring was on the spades very well. I happen to have an electrical engineer in the house so we had done a thorough job with the wiring. It was heartbreaking to see something so small cause...

It's a sad day. I managed to score some German market Persil the other day while in Brooklyn and was super excited to give it a try in the next boil wash. Loaded up some bath towels and chose a cycle... and nothing. A moment later, the lights dimmed and the control panel started to pop and...

Hmm... wish they'd posted pictures!

These are lovely.

Thanks gents. If I destroy the bolts, how much of an issue is it to replace them and get the proper tension on the springs?

The dampers have gotten pretty bad and I decided to try and tackle this today. So far, the suspension eyebolts are rusted solid.

Love it!

Are these apartment sized?
