Prego! Prego! I don't have a rotoswirl, but I have some rainbow rotoni that would go with that pretty well! L O L -Tim

Oh and to answer the actual question... Once you have that frame out like you do, there are 3 screws (1/4" head) that hold that plasic valve assembly to the frame. Remove them, and separate the plastic housing from the frame. The plunger assembly will then pull out of the plastic body and that...

Diverter Valve Welcome to the wonderful world of twin tub washing! You look to have a very nice set there in Avocado no less. This diverter as Andy said is still readily available, finding one locally I found can be hard. Parts dealers here have been to crap for me though. For what it's worth...

Hello again, after a long hiatus, I have returned to AW. I have missed everyone, but life circumstances and other factors (work, housing) have kept me from re-engaging in my hobby. So this is my re-entry, I hadn't realized that it has been so long since I've been regular here. Hopefully Spring...

Last of the era These look like 65's to me, the last of the wide dryer and the no liner doors. They appear to be in great shape, I have a set of these except my washer is a suds model. These are a set that I really don't want to let go of if avoidable but if I ever do I know where they are...

BOL GE We had this essentially same dryer growing up, I think ours was a 1958. The one we had was essentially just a box with a dial and levers on top of the machine and had the horizontal handle. As said, I think this is just the BOL model, but I like the console on these, very simple, and to...

One person can lift... Says the man who has never lifted an A-50. Lol. It's one of the smallest twin tub machines, but one of if not the heaviest compact machine. dimensionally it will fit in the back of just about any car. a fun machine, and one I don't think you would regret getting, make it...

Awww That poor Prizm, those GE's in the trunk are 1/3 the weight of the car. Anyone else think this is a weird way to dismantle a GE machine? I don't taking one apart like that ever occurred to me... -Tim

I Just Sold one This is a Maytag A308, basic model big-tub machine. Blue tub, cycles on the dial, cold rinses. A good BOL machine. -Tim

Dont Save the Suds! Either the machine wasn't connected to a laundry sink or something happened to the suds valve at some point. That is all I can think of, probably the 1st option, my roommate made that mistake once with my 502. I forbid the use of that machine afterwards. -Tim

Maytag What a lovely A208, weren't these still considered the "Highlanders" up until close to the end of the center-dial production? A very versatile machine for a standard cap. -Tim

Little Puzzles Yup here is a better pic of the panel. It's an "08" because it has 4 water temp selections and the word "load" on the buttons. I love trying to identify these machines though, for some reason, it's very fun for me. -Tim

Std Cap Washer - A108 Actually the washer is an A108, not a 308, which would be the big cap machine. This machine has 4 water temp selection and only 3 water buttons if you look closely. The Dryer is a DE408. The A308 had 3 water temps (all cold rinse) and 4 water levels. You could dry 2 loads...

Machines I will be in touch this week regarding the machines, sorry, I am not home much right now. Thanks! -Tim

So I figured I'd post to see if there would be any interest in this. For personal reasons, I have decided to thin my collection substantially. I will be offering most of of it up for a reasonable fare, and there are few rarer and nicer machines of value in the mix here as well. Below is a list...

Powerfin in old Maytags I have a Powerfin (turq) in my 142 and I think it moves the load far better than the rigid fin bakelite one. I see no difference in lint filtration though. Clothes have more tendency to roll as opposed to just a hard back and forth. I like it, I just need to find a black...

0910 Have a look see... http://www.flickr.com/photos/36664317@N03/sets/72157625663432797/

Over-Analyzed Replace soda with water...Which has many health advantages, if the only way I could get my kid to drink water was in the form of a bottle as such I would do it. That's my take from it.   I actually drink bottled water a lot, it's convenient and it tastes better than the tap water...

NIB A couple of years ago I ended up with a Coppertone 0512 that still have it's small pallet in the bottom of the box. Unfortunately, while it was NIB, some rubber damage was present from age, but overall an amazing machine, I don't use it, it's too minty.   -Tim

Launderess The pump in this machine is attached to the wash motor, and driven from a wheel as opposed to the newer spinner motor driven belt-drive pumps, so if leaking is present, it could potentially go into the motor.   -Tim
