some of those airbags There is a special inflatable tool designed to remove seized agitators, can't remember what it was called off hand however.

Often these bulbs don't like dimming They also only dim down to about 10% with a grayish cast to the light. I don't understand how people can live with their kitchens and bedrooms lit up like an operating room.

all the ugly color deviations of LEDs. Driving around my area at night I'd say half the homes and most apartments are running cold blue LED lights indoors. Not to mention the homes lit up like a night game at Yankee stadium from dusk to dawn.

they started at $500 and dropped to $300 I doubt they're going to get $300. Make an offer and see what happens. Usually works better if you're there in person and ready haul it away.

If the price was right, I would get it. I agree. Nice looking Mid-mod stove in good condition.

$500 Could take a while to find a willing and able buyer IMO. They probably Googled asking prices of fully restored vintage Tappan ovens.

I would lose my shit if that happened! Yeah, I 'm still in state of disbelief. Then I went to to use the e-mail account through my cable provider Optimum that I've also had for 20 years and find out they deleted it because I hadn't used it in a year or so and they don't offer new email...

Yahoo permanently locked me out of my e-mail account that I've had for over 20 years. Not because I forgot my password or anything. I hadn't signed for about a month and suddenly couldn't get into my account and my recovery email address was no longer accessible. 20+ years of email archives gone.

Finally gave up on modern sheet sets after one fitted sheet ripped right down the center after 6 months or so. Now I use vintage muslin and switch to percale in the summer. They're not indestructible one muslin fitted sheet was retired after getting threadbare with some small holes but it...

Seller has the boot seal shoved down on the trans shaft. Good way to damage the carbon ring.

I don't want to start disassembling things You might have to find out for sure what parts you need or don't need. At least have new clamps on hand so it can be patched back together.

kit is slightly different- Those are for the later 12 series, it won't work on your washer. Might want to ask if anyone has a used tub injector hose they are willing to part with.

Ideally you need an injector kit similar to the one in the link but they are NLA or crazy expensive for that model. Try to carefully salvage the tub injector hose if possible and replace the air valve and other hose...

I can't see much behind the tub Remove the two screws at the front corners and the top cover lifts up like a car hood. Note: tape down the lid so it doesn't slam into the console.

Did you put a dab of geese on the springs where they hook into the tub supports?

That agitator shaft is in rough shape and pitted. Just a matter of time before the new mounting stem lip seal starts leaking.

$580 in 1964 = $6,823 in 2024 dollars, ouch.. On the other hand, considering they're still going 60 years later I'd say they got a bargain.

would I need to take the drum off? Probably, thats how its done on the standard size GE dryers to remove the drum bearing. Not a big deal once you have it apart. Slides and the nylon drum can be replaced, both are common wear items. If a slide goes metal on metal it can damage the drum...

The dryer sounds a little different Did you check the rear nylon drum bearing and front slide pads while you had it apart? They could be very worn after 50 years.

Is this worth repairing?? Yes. Vintage GE dryers are workhorses.
