Maxsold caveat One more thing you guys should be aware of. With Maxsold, any damage to the property is charged to your credit card. So, for a 3 million dollar house, with a washroom on the 2nd floor: how much damage could be done by an uncontrolled leak in an unoccupied house over say... 1...

I hear what you are all saying The Maxsold site manager was unwilling to accept the liability to the property if I changed anything. Baisically, once the wall mounted water shut-off valve was discovered to be nonfunctional the Maxsold site manager would not listen to reason. I had caps, I...

I appreciate the support! I'll see how Maxsold responds (if at all). I'll also keep the gang informed. This really hurt. Imagine finding a machine better than you ever hoped, then to have it snagged from your grasp. Like many, I've been scanning CL, FB, and estate auctions for years. This...

Hey Gang, I had a supremely bad experience with Maxsold that I wanted to share with you all as a cautionary tale. I won a Maytag 806 in flawless condition. Arranged for help and transportation. Arrived at the site, ready to move the washer (2nd floor). The Maxsold site manager informed me...

Shame, eternal shame, and nothing but shame! A profound mockery to which I answer; scorn and defiance; slight regard, contempt, and any thing that may not misbecome the mighty sender.

Thanks Bob I appreciate the support! This dishwasher will be an interesting challenge. In some ways it would be boring if it worked perfectly. We'll see (picking it up tomorrow). I'll keep everyone posted (with images of course!). Chris

Thanks Paul! I appreciate the input. I'll also keep the gang up to date. I was told it was fully functional as of last year (famous last words!). Thanks Again, Chris

Hey Gang, I'm saving a Kitchenaid KD-11. Any tips on safely moving? Any weak spots? My best guess: remove the spray arm and racks rest on its side during the move? Tips greatly appreciated! Thanks, Sprog (a.k.a. Chris)

Thanks David! I like the way you think. Perhaps a relay switching a 12V power supply powering an EL-sheet and EL-wire... I'll look into this for sure. Thanks again.

Thanks John, I appreciate your expertise! It's nice to be able to enhance appliances to better than factory performance. I'll see if I can achieve the same with the human body in my lab. My interest lies in life extension and enhancing quality of life. Here's to making things better!

Nicely Done! Hi John, I love your work. I looked up the 3M fire proofing panel... this stuff is not cheap. Any alternative(s) that you would recommend? I'm working on a 1966 Lady Kenmore electric dryer. I'm interested in diminishing sound. Chris

Some of you may remember, I scored an A500 a few months ago. In the spirit of game theory, I'm considering the possibilities. It may sound silly, but I really like the light-up features of an A700. Along those lines, I was thinking of adding lighting to the tub, and possible lighting to the...

Caveat Emptor I was wondering what would be the most likley issues with a machine such as this? I would wager the wiring would not be safe... need replacement. The rubber gaskets, hoses and boot maybe gonzo. What else?

How not to fix an automatic washer! what can I say... this was hard to watch. 3:14 how to shred your flesh and possibly destroy your washer in one easy step.

wow times have changed Brought me back to my childhood... flashes of Walt Disney speaking from his desk, Marlin Perkins chasing some animals in a chopper, The Beatles running. How about that Porsche 356 (44:48) used to sell TVs. Very cool.

Hey Gang, Newsreel footage from 1950s "Industry on Parade". Start watching 26:46... I could be mistaken, it appears to be a Maytag AMP being constructed on the assembly line. Note the absence of respirators while spraying or the guy smoking while welding. Ahh the good old days. Have fun!

nice score! Congrats!

Nicely Done! Have fun with them! What's next?

Christina, I humbly defer to other members for insight/expertise regarding this machine. I really don't know... at least for now.

Thanks again for the kind support. Mike, good guess... I'm a scientist (Immunologist) and spend my days in the lab. My personality is geared toward problem-solving, hence my occupation. I find repairing, restoring, exploring a natural extension of my thought process. John, Thanks for...
