Being a Telechron electric clock collector myself, I know that Telechron (later owned by General Electric) made 1 rpm motors for various companies and their components. The same goes for Hansen, which still produces motors today. Does anyone know for sure if these timers used in vintage...

I should probably clarify a bit. The agitator was not broken due to the filter removal. The piece that broke is at the bottom of the agitator where a crack was already present. I was doing some cleaning at the bottom and this piece of the agitator gave way, which leads me to believe it probably...

Success Got it out! I used boiling hot water with about a pint of CLR. It only soaked for about an hour as the tub drain hose (hose from the tub to the pump) developed a leak. Unfortunately, I broke a pie shaped piece of the agitator off. Very strong glue would probably do the trick. Does...
