Baffling Baffles! Yes it does have a baffle in the bottom of, at least visually it's there. I've never run the agi in machine. Tim

Wirly-Wash I absolutely adore my 1981 Power Scour and I think that at this point unless I was forced to, I would never go anything but a WP dishwasher. Mine seems to have a small issue with the plastic drain port on the pump working loose, might need to get some adhesive for that soon. Tim

An Idea Rises to the Surface My guess would be this is the release of air that gets trapped under the agitator during fill. I think there is even a small hole on the skirt that is supposed to release that air. Every agitator-based washer I have does this as this air escapes. If you wggle the...

Maytag Big Load of Lint I've had several of these and somethings I noticed on all of them: 1.) The wire terminals always seems to be on the verge of being a fire hazard. 2.) The front air intake is usually completely filled up with lint. Be careful with the porcelain around the terminal studs...

Book covers Hi Pierre, unfortunately, there is no way to tell the shape of this machine from looking at it. It could be rusted through, the transmission could be leaking, there are a million things here. I see rust on the top of the inner-tub for one, and below the control panel. This indicates...

Poly Crap! I have an intact belt that broke at the "weld" on my A-50. Oddly these usually harden up and become brittle, breaking into little pieces. I will check my belt and get some dimensions, it would be nice to source a replacement. I got my belt about 5 years ago and I'm convinced it was...

My Hotpoint Ironically this later became a 1986 SpotScrubber... But yes you only need a few parts to convert one. I would recommend the GE system, the rim collar gets filled up too easy and then starts dumping whatever it caught back into the wash. Mostly this isn't an issue, but it you're...

Lumpy Bump I have this agitator and the strange (white mesh) lint filter/ss cap. It's certainly different than the newer powerfin. Now I just need the machine it goes in lol. Tim

AlmondPool Oh John, now you had to go and throw that nice little WP portable into the mix, lol. I'd certainly love to attend the wash-in but it's a tad out of my driving range unfortunately. Have Fun! Tim

Tin Can Washers I have a version of the washer to the left, it has a little crank and is white. It also has a fauz hose out the back and when you crank the handle the little agi goes back and forth. It's cute, and I've noticed several different versions of them. They are cure in pink. Tim

GE V-12 / V-14 I have this washer AND dryer in my storage unit. The washe appears to be the matching V-12 washer (light blue panel with toggle switches, says V-12) and the dryer is maybe 1-2 years newer, same style V-14 on the control panel. Very neat machiens and work good. So nudge nudge if...

Rubberbandman I think it looks normal, this is a Hoover 0510, so it's a mid-60's machine. This machine has a bigger flywheel/pulley than the newer ones, makes for a more balanced spin cycle ("balanced"). I think you're fine, you could periodically check it time to time, but I would expect it...

Newer SQ Please, feel free to post some pictures of this machine for examination. My knowledge of the SQ brand is only through about 1974, and I recall your machine being newer. Also didn't your machine have a white agitator as well? It would be interesting to see the changes made, but I have...

Pump Leak Yes that is a nice machine indeed. If it is actually a T1023, then it really is the last generation of the twinnie in the US. 1978 up, but there is unfortunately not much indication as to actual age unless there is a date-stamp somewhere in the machine. It is the same exact machine as...

Spin Tub Rubber That rubber is pretty tough, but it can break. In my experience it always looks like hell (dry-rotted looking) but I have never had one fail. As far as sources for this part in the US, there are none that I am aware of, someone on the other side of the pond may have a good used...

Late 70's Hoover Very nice Mark, this is a later machine. I'd guess 78 at least. TOL, and the 2-tone cabinet, I think by then they were down to 3 colors. I have the dryer in this color, an earlier D910. -Tim

Twin Tubs, Twin-tubes? There were several. Domestic, European and Japanese. I’ll give a quick brush-through for the domestic and Japanese machines. I've covered some of the highlights below: Hoover: Basic and the most popular of the bunch. Early models range from 1957 and production stopped...

Parts, no parts... Hi, unfortunately there are not an abundance of parts for these machines. If I were you, I would assess what it actualy needs to work as opposed to trying to buy every part you can find to restore this. The only real failure point on these machines really is the pump assuming...

Urethane Belts Thanks for the link to the vendor. It seems to be the achilles heal of both the DE50 and A50. I purchased a new belt for the A50 a while back, and the weld broke (OEM Maytag belt) and the urethane belt on the dryer now slaps the shroud all the time which is what it did before it...

Not Incorrect... This agitator was an option for the wringer machines and from what I also gather, VERY rare to find. I have some old literature somewhere that lists all the options for the "E" series wringer. It "looks" the same as the automatic, but there is one specofically for the...
