More pics Finished cleaning her up. Put in an LED direct fit replacement bulb for brighter better quality light and hopefully longer life. I’m not sure I’m going to change seals etc as it has no issues but I’ll grab the parts so I have them for the future. Also does anyone need any A-108...

Only PA You can’t get much closer when looking for specific vintage machines. I usually venture within 4 to 6 hours away from home. -Shannon

Baby life I miss a lot here with my lack of time lately. The 3 month old and 15 month old keep me busy. Who do you usually use to ship and what are the costs generally for that if you don’t mind me asking? -Shannon

Too late I guess Not super far from me. The one day I don’t check here and I missed out. Oh well my buddy in Texas has been looking for a while so I’m glad they’re being saved! -Shannon

One arm wonders The old KA single arm machines are definitely some of the most powerful machines ever made. I own a stainless KDI17 and have been on the lookout for a KDS17. Eventually one will pop up. But I agree that Power Clean machines are the best just because of washing performance...

Like a GE dryer Looks super similar to my GE dryer of the same age. Although I don’t have the fake wood grain look. I’ve never been a fan of that at all. -Shannon

Retrofit a new part? Sometimes I am able to retrofit new parts onto older machines. Some knowledge of wiring and reading schematics is usually required for this. Perhaps that can be done here as well. It won’t be original but if it works that’s all that really matters. -Shannon

Can valve be rebuilt? Is it possible to service the old drain valve? Perhaps lubricate the valve to get it working again? I’m not entirely sure what the failure point is, but it is possible perhaps to see about repairing the existing valve you have? I’ve never worked on a Kitchenaid this old so...

Great concept with real savings The only issue I’ve seen with these is the reliability with some of them. The General Electric Geospring units in particular, I have seen a lot of failures with the heat pump in those units. But units built with quality heat pumps are a major advantage in terms...

Steep Price! I don’t know why people list these for such outrageous prices. I commonly find good to excellent condition center dial Maytags for free up to $100 all the time. I had a guy locally with a junky dented up BOL machine and he wouldn’t take less than $100, needless to say I wasn’t...

How would this work for FB? Every FB marketplace purchase I make is in cash and never sent through FB or anything like that. Seems pretty easy to get around the taxes in that instance and I’m sure people will just continue to do that. Also when I bought something new I paid the taxes on it, why...

Good Dishwasher… Ridiculous Price… This was a good reliable machine. It’s in beautiful condition and I’d certainly love to get my hands on one but it’s not even the best performing KA portable machine made as it has no upper wash arm. This is a $300-$400 unit max in my opinion. But as PT Barnum...

Easy Agitator Removal I was happily surprised that the agitator came off with ease. No fighting at all, I just grabbed the underside and pulled up and it popped right off with minimal effort. I suppose that speaks to the low use it’s seen. Any specific grease or lubricant I should coat the...

More photos Started cleaning up the A806 and so far it’s not disappointing at all. Just normal dirt in a few places but zero rust thus far. Even the bottom of the machine is clean! Definitely keeping my eye out for more machines that have spent their lives on upper floors in homes. Just a bit...

They have arrived! Plus A Couple Extras :-) They are just as clean as I hoped. I am very excited to fire these up tomorrow. This was from an estate and the woman who inherited the home just wanted to get rid of stuff. The price at $100 was very reasonable I thought given the condition. She had...

Is this still available? Just wondering if you still have these parts around? -Shannon

Raytheon Washer Your washing machine is identical to one that I just picked up recently. I unfortunately lost the lid to my machine on the way home as it had a broken pivot that I was unaware of. My machine runs flawlessly and I’m assuming yours does as well. I have no complaints with the...

I’m picking up a center dial two speed Maytag Thursday (pictured first). I’m not sure of the exact model of the new machine but I have an A-108 single speed parts Machine (pictured second) that has the 4 temperature selection options instead of just Hot, Warm and Cold like on the new machine of...

Shredmore Agitator?? I’m assuming this particular machine had issues being a little rough with clothing? -Shannon

Pics Here are some pictures of the machine.
