>> In my experience I’ve never been able to get 34oz in a Pittman transmission. 32 seems like the magic amount Don't forget that half an ounce is needed for the brake, and some will also be used wetting the shafts prior to assembly. If you have the ability to fill those jugs to 34 ounces, I...

>> It won't be until California begins experiencing major blackouts that anyone in begins to consider a problem may actually exist. Didn't we already hit that point, where the century-old hook wore through on the lines that started the wildfire in 2018? $16.5B seems like a big enough wake-up...

>> BMW i3 on a generator Here's an article with the backstory on that photo: https://thedriven.io/2018/12/14/diesel-charge-evs-remote-locations-greener-than-you-think/

>> Although NY pales compared to CA for the amount of charging stations in the state it has 3 times more than UT but UT sells more EV than NY. >> I think there has to be a valid reason for that because NY people are very trendy and love their toys/brands. This is because the majority of EV...

>> The big problem with that is that current the grid in this state obviously cannot handle the increased load from these changes. As a non-Californian, based on what we read in the news, it sounds like the California grid wasn't even good enough for the prior demands? (And that's not a dig -...

>> either a scientist or physicist and when asked about the batteries of electric cars weighing 1500 lbs or the weight of 80 gallons of gas he said battery >> technology has come a long way but eventually it will hit a brick wall. He said the laws of physics will only let battery technology go...

>> So the orbital transmission is rougher on the clothes? It will be if you don't replace the agitator.

That might have been the one from Ben. I only remember, because I had *just* missed them. https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?66271

>> The 642C/742C/DE/DG 701 dryers had the most sophisticated electronic control and timer design of any HOH. Could you elaborate on that?

Today was my lucky day - I got a call back from the seller, and he had found a few more parts for me. Included is a complete control panel (A208 I believe?), and a couple used water valves, fill level controls, and used hoses. The control panel is complete and in great shape, which now has...

I believe that section above is in reference to the in-wall / in-ceiling portions of the run, not the short flexible connection between the machine and the duct? ("M1502.4.3 Transition Duct" seems to be the code part being discussed here?)

Those Maytags are both 606s and look great - but $400 each??? >> Sink $150 >> Cooktop $300 >> Range Hood $150 >> Dishwasher $300 >> Single Oven $400 >> Washer $400 >> Dryer $400

Have you looked underneath, to see if there are any visible issues with the current belts?

>> Have you thought of selling off the parts on ebay? I hadn't before, but these might push me to it! The large parts (cabinets, etc) are the hard part of course... Otherwise, how bad are the fees for small value sales on eBay?[this post was last edited: 11/7/2022-18:11]

>> I believe the paint difference was a defect due to time. I have a 1969 KA806 where the paint on front >> and sides of cabinet almost appears gray compared to the avocado porcelain top. Thanks. I wonder if there is an environmental (perhaps UV exposure) component of it? Or maybe they...

Under the console cover on the dryer, things take a turn. I've never seen it before in person, having only had electric dryers, but I presume this is what you folks have been describing - the long-term corrosion effects of a standing pilot light. Almost everything metal is lightly rusted. The...

On the dryer - inside the drum is clean. The white plastic of the lint filter assembly is distinctly yellowed - I don't know if being a gas unit accelerates this, but it's significantly worse than our DE806. On that same point, ALL of the white plastics of these machines are more yellowed...

Behind the washer console - things look pretty good. The timer is a Mallory "2-4476". The washer has a "KM" serial number, so it was made in June of 1970 according to this chart: "My Maytags Birthdate" https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?41918_13 The spare motor...

The inside of the washer has significant rust / hard water staining on the inner tub. Lint filter was clean though!

A look at the consoles... The blue shading is gone over most of the panels, and there is damage to the white paint too. I'm not sure what would have caused the damage and shading in this pattern - perhaps something was taped or draped over the top for a long time? I was also surprised at how...
