And, done! So my plan is to get an outside laundromat going; as soon as we rebuild our pumphouse, my idea is to run some plumbing and electrical to there and create a spot for the two machines I have including this one, besides the one in our house. My other outside machine, the 2000...

Sean Yeah, can't wait to see yours, that would be absolutely A W E S O M E ! ! !

In spin now...

In all honesty, for 34 years (1986), that's not a bad track record at all, it's allowed to have those kind of small, miniscule anomalies with it. Great overall machine, definitely happy with it.

One more thing, actually, two more things... So firstly, something I found out that might be wrong with it is the low speed sometimes works and sometimes is just completely dead. It was dead when I had it apart, but then I lightly kicked the pump, and it just magically started working again...

Now filming a load of towels in it. Video forthcoming!

Spinning now...

Next day... Running a cleaning cycle through it as I type this. On the rinse right now. So far so good!

Oh... And in case anybody was wondering, the lid switch was indeed bypassed. Though not in the sense you probably thought... Instead of doing it the "right way" and just jumping out the molex connector at the top of the cabinet, they took a wire nut and tied the wires going to the lid switch...

So the bill of health? Everything works for now. Took it apart and wiped it down good, then ran a quick rinse cycle through it with the garden hose on a small medium-ish load. No leaks! Everything ran fairly smoothly, BUT...there IS however some gear oil slung on the bottom, and when it's...

OK, so... Got the machine out into the shop, gonna see if it will even work for starters.

Sean- Yeah I believe you were telling me about that in the comments on my Youtube video (lizboz). Nice work there! Mel- Thanks very much! Looking forward to working more on it! Hopefully next year I'll be able to get my outdoor laundromat up and running to where I can use these machines.

$250 Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII I'd pay that, for a VINTAGE set of nice belt drives like that, if it were of course in my area and I had more room for one.

Sean is correct for $200! 1983 model 110.81362150 Kenmore 60 series 24" direct drive made in April 1986, so this must be neutral drain center-dial machine! Right off the bat, going to need some work. Lid switch is missing, water level knob is a bit broken, a little surface rust, which might...

Can you guess what?

Thanks John. Would've been cool to see something like that though!

Found this randomly on the web, I don't know if anybody has seen it, but by the looks of the tub ring and clothes guard ring, this looks like a direct drive with perhaps a BELT drive agitator??? Like a roto swirl? Anybody? Here's a link to the page it's on, if anybody feels like getting full...

Rare to see one of these pop up in Boise! Description: "Stacking Washer & Dryer by Asko. Made in Sweden. 20 years old but still working reliably. Both are front loading. Washer runs on 240 volt as the unit contains its own water heater. Still have original manuals. Units are smaller 24" inch...

Will do James!

Portland I don't currently have any plans to go that way, but you never know what the future might bring! Steven
