@ John L... (Eye roll...) RCD

Martin has quite a few Neppies and I'm fond of them, too. While I am very much pro Maytag Dependable Care, my daily drivers are Newton built Neptunes. My MAH7500, IMHO, is one of the best front loaders out there. The capacity may not be the largest in comparison to the new ones but it washes...

Don't hold back, John... Tell us how you really feel! Where the Maytag is going to shine is in solid performance and ease of service. Properly maintained, that set will last a good long time and for the asking price will more than return that price many times over. RCD

Spot on, Martin! All you gotta do is replace the seal and most likely save the bearings. When they resold them back where I worked in Reno, the rear main seals were an automatic thing. Saved us a ton of grief since we were apart that far for overhauling anyway to do it properly for resale. The...

Think they want enough? RCD http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/atq/4860102882.html

Can't quite make out the brand... RCD http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/atq/4860104947.html

Nice looking but look how there's a link to an AW thread at the bottom. Lol! RCD http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/app/4885264907.html

I love that rocket ship one. Here's one I found while thrifting a little while ago. RCD

#213077 is the cap. The bulb isn't too bad to get to. Two Phillips screws along/under the ridge/lip that runs along the bottom of the front panel. Then you gently raise up the panel like a garage door to disengage the front panel clips at the top and off it is. Two things. First, unplug the...

Hi. A nice dryer for sure. You can use the DG808. The 'L' in your model number just denotes that your dryer is almond. The knob is easy to get. P/N 312852. The bulb is also easy to get. Two screws on the top to remove the cover and there's the bulb with the numbers on it. Also theres the starter...

Wowwie! Brian, are you sure those are the same machines? Holy Moly! Another orphaned set finds the best home ever! I'm glad you didn't part them out either. Awesome job and perfect documentation of it. Enjoy them in good health, Brother! RCD

Thanks, guys! I've been fortunate to create a couple of different how to threads for the old Maytags. Once I reclaim the garage here at Mom and Dad's house, I want to do a couple more. Don't get to see them as much here as I now work for a Electrolux servicer among other brands... I will borrow...

The clear timer knob should be p/n 214196. RCD

The older Newton born Neppies do not have the securing bolts. They were originally shipped with yellow straps around the tub and attached to the pallet. You were supposed to cut one end and pull it completely out. Many just cut both ends and when I open them up for service, there are the straps...

A whole new meaning to 'He's putty in your hands...' RCD

You're killing me, Harley! Thank goodness the iPad is in a otter box so that sprayed tea wipes right off... So you guys are saying that PLAY-DOH needs to make stuff more like what Stretch Armstrong was made out of? Ducking and running... RCD

Well. I saw an advertisement where there were attachments that plugged into the front thru a drop down door. Good luck on finding those. Or a replacement brush roll and belt. I can most likely fix up the roll and find a belt that will work. The bag is in amazingly good shape with no tears or...

Well, now comes the million dollar question... Does it suck? Plugged it in and, with fingers crossed and circuit breakers ready, flicked the switch... Eureka! Actually, Apex! Lol! She runs. Smoothly! Motor bearings are in awesome shape! Steph found a reference that these were so powerful that...

Needs a belt as it's missing. Tried to figure out the brush roll with the different notches in the ends. I thought it might have something to do with the bar height. Then cleaned the mess off the plate underneath and saw that My guess was pretty close.[this post was last edited: 12/31/2014-02:31]

Yes. It. Is! If you guess an ancient Apex, go to the head of the class! I didn't know Apex made vacuums but now I know. Intact! Took it home, Again with Stephanie burning up the Internet trying to find info on it (there's not a lot out there. And fewer pictures of one on the hoof). Had to fix...
