Hmm They'll have fun getting that to the dump.

Holy biscuits! A day of deja vu!  This *was* the Mobile Maid my grandmother had that preceded the same D&M Kenmore also listed in Shopper's Square!   What is this, "This is Your Life"?

Yay! That's the unit, in portable form, that replaced my grandmother's Mobile Maid.   I loved it.  No one else did.  :-)   I longed to try the other options, but was busted if I deviated from the Light Wash standard. 

Loose cooling fans on motor shaft Yup, this one was already chattering.  I was surprised I didn't have to un-stick this one, given how it had sat.

Yes, please!!! That would solve about seven different problems.  Thank you so much, John!  I'll send you a message on here shortly.   I'll reroute the Silver Shower and Power Shower feeds through the spare port on the pump.   These new pumps are just stunning.  When the drain opened, and...

Work update The new GE pump retrofit kit works...kind of.  Here's the thing:   - The hoses for the Silver Shower, Power Shower, and China/Crystal key are formed into the big hoses that connect the sump to the pump intake and the wash arm outlet.  So, you don't use the traditional takeout for...

Yay!!! Congratulations!!! Keep up the great work!!!

Clocks that die after relocation Level is important, and not moving the clock when the pendulum is attached is important as well.  Not doing so can bend the verge and put it out of beat.  I struggled with a spring-would pendulum mantle clock that David found, where this had happened.   We had...

LOL Kevin--It's still in the house.  "Primum non nocere," as they say.  It still works the same as before. :-)   Ralph--I'll get right on that.  Maybe you'd like to come to the Hogwarts School of Timercraft and have a go from my step-by-step guide, complete with snark?  :-)  Just think about...

* Sandwich I call this design either the "sh-t sandwich" or "Sh-tSho," depending on how trademarkey you want to get about it.   The timer is a rat's nest of wires, with a stiff cardboard backer.  Be cautious and be careful with this backer; it must be intact, and not bent, or else you'll lose...

Timer update So, tonight, I took the timer out, to investigate the cams and contacts.   I know this is partially just a result of earlier technology, and that quick-connect terminal blocks came later, but I hope there's a hot seat in hell for whomever designed this.   By the way, here's the...

Holy biscuits! In pic 1 of the dispenser shots, thank goodness that's a piece of crud on the Plastisol.  I almost succumbed to apoplexy when I saw that!

Ken-- Wie so? :-)

That has gotten old very fast. I share your pain, Launderess.  The Roto-Rack hosted its own pile of items, and the Mobile Maid defies being piled upon.  Then it occurred to me--an easy strategy for better organization!  Just place the trash can behind the machine, and everything takes care of...

China/Crystal Since you know I'm going to be obsessive over this, here's a query--should the China/Crystal tube be flat-ish like it is, or should it be a fairly open tube?   It does a hard U-turn right at the pump output, and it's collapsed over time.  Not sure why they did the U-turn, unless...

Pics Sure, Ken--I'll get some tonight or tomorrow and report back.  Let me know if you want any other close-ups.   Thank you for the great info--and I love your renderings!!

Thank you! Thanks, Don--and thanks for the year confirmation, Ken!  Not sure whether this has anything to do with it or not, but I did notice a grease-penciled "69" under the front panel.   Cool!

Yay interchangeable parts! LOL, probably just the newer-gen pump once this timer thing gets licked. If there was room around the bottom rack, a Multi-Orbit wash arm? :-) That other wash-arm design minimized the havoc wreaked upon the dishes, but it also turned a scrubber into a suckster...

Thanks, John!!  LOL, yes, this machine is a marvel of misguided engineering, but I can't argue with the results.  Last night included a monstrously dirty load with rice and pasta, and the GE nibbled it into bits and sent it down the drain.  It also sent a piece of very clean pasta up into a...

Part # on timer In the rare event that eBay coughs up a TOL timer hairball, does anyone have the part number on this timer?  I'd love a spare, just in case my dinking-around endeavors result in more pudding than productivity.
