Figured I’d post this here in case someone wanted to save this. My friend does architectural salvage and has this available for sale I’m assuming here in CT. His Instagram page is Urbanminers if you want to check it out and contact him. Or urbanminers.com. He has it listed as mid century...

I have some misc parts I took off a 1964 500A years ago. Mallory timer, temp control assy, washer action assy, and pressure switch assy. This washer was working until the start winding burned out in the motor and my friend let it sit a few years with water in the tub thus rusting it. I'd like to...

My good friend needs to replace his 5 year old washer thats dead. I saw somewhere here that Speed Queen still makes a top loader with an old school agitator and trans thats built pretty well? Hes looking for something thats going to wash clothes like our trusted old school machines, isnt worried...

I have a daily 1985 Magic Chef microwave that works great although I think its going to need a magnetron soon because I smell something hot and electrical after 10 minutes use. Im on the hunt for one as we speak. My question is though that the paint or coating inside the cooking area at the top...

A friend showed an old house today and sent me these pics. What would be the age of the washer and range? I wouldn’t mind the range for myself but would pass the washer onto any interested parties here. I don’t even know if they work or what they’re worth.

Figured before I list them on Ebay Sunday I'd give people here another heads up. Sadly, today all the internals of the control panel are coming out and the shell is getting tossed. The reality is that even though I had people interested and sold a few times, shipping costs are insane today. It...

Yesterday marked 25 years ago that Jesse White, Maytags lonely repairman passed away. I had to do a load of clothes today anyway so ran the 1974 A407 through an extra spin cycle in his honor. I was going to do a warm rinse instead but the gas bill was a little high last month...............

Was keeping this but prob never use it. All dates I found were from late 1971 so I’ll assume it’s a 1972 model. Was from a working machine that had major lower cabinet rust issues. Bulb missing but it’s complete with harness and power cord otherwise. The only bad terminals were on the water...

Cleaned the case then cracked open the 1974 A806 spare trans I have I want to swap into my 1974 A407 that stains clothes at times. Luckily there wasnt any signs of moisture and water inside. The oil was dark brown. Trouble was it literally was like Hersheys syrup. It was so insanely thick and...

I recently bought several pairs of Dickies relaxed fit denim painters pants. I guess you could call them stone washed. They had a funny smell thats a cross between a petroleum and Lestoil smell. Prob the chemical used to distress them. They're nice and comfortable but the problem is I've washed...

I’m watching a DVD set I bought of The Smith Family from 1971. One of the second seasons episodes has a scene that takes place in the kitchen as normal but for the first and maybe last time I saw the pantry and spotted a set of brown 806 series pair. The series lasted only 39 episodes and I can...

While doing the weeks laundry yesterday in the A407 I noticed the softener cup in the agitator was getting its usual buildup of slime that didnt spin out fully so I popped it out to clean it, as well as the lint screen I take a soft brass wire brush to clean. I saw some black mold down inside...

I have a NIB Kingston timer for supposedly A407 washer. Mine has a Mallory and it wasnt compatible and I couldnt use it. My loss is your gain. $50.00 plus shipping.

When me an mom are on the phone talking about the old days and life growing up at my house I always ask her about different things we had. At 90 she still remembers more than me at 57 !!! When the subject comes up about the TVs or washing machines we had I remember a Whirlpool with a chrome top...

I went to use a spare hypo needle tonight from ones given to inject my B12 into my A407 tub bearing rubber boot, it still has the old style with the oil wick in it and I figured a little Zoom Spout couldnt hurt. Between the oil being too heavy to push out the needle tip and the tip bending while...

Today was the big day I finally would be able to meet my friend for the free A806 washer. It’s amazing how much better things look in the dark. Got it outside and it looked pretty rough and rusty on the bottom of the cabinet. Start winding on motor burned out or connectors too corroded. Once I...

Well after a bout of pancreatitis kicked my ass the last 4 weeks I was finally able to go to a friends house this week he just bought to fix up and sell. Saying the old guy was a slob is an understatement. The place is a dirty pig stye. I originally went there to look at some old VW's and a...

The past few months Ive noticed the landlords Kenmore drier has been taking almost twice as long to dry a full load of clothes. I set the timer on "More dry " and check on it every 30 minutes instead of leaving it an hour and letting it do its thing. The timer slowly advances to " Less dry " and...

Are Fabric Matic Maytags still pitman trans models or just Dependable Care models? Im not too savvy on those later consoles as to which is which. Thanks.

Can anyone advise a good detergent, etc that removes facial oils and sweat discoloration off pillow cases? I've tried bleach and Oxiclean with mixed results. They dont clean as well as I want. Thanks.
