Thanks, everyone, for the input. I don't need to do large volumes of laundry, so that doesn't present a problem for me. I just want to find another workhorse!

Can anyone tell me what year this model was manufactured? If I found one in good working condition, would I be able to get parts for it?

Well, I found a very reputable appliance man who came and took a look at my washer. Sadly, the verdict is, it has reached the end of the road. Transmission is bad. After a brief period of mourning, I am looking for another "older" machine now. Just do not want anything electronic. I hate...

It would be great if I could either repair my washer, or find another one, same model. But I'm open to finding another vintage Maytag, preferably something from 70's or 80's.

Thank you, Goatfarmer, but I would really like to find another LA 608, if possible.

I appreciate everyone's input on this. Next question: If I can't get this one repaired, does anyone (in Texas) have one for sale?

Turns out there wasn't anything stuck in there. So, I think I would really like to have someone work on it who is experienced with these old washers. I am a bit north of Waco, TX, and can take it to the Dallas area if need be. Anyone out there interested?

Amazing! I think there IS something stuck in there, but I can only see a bit of it. It also looks like it needs a good cleaning in there. What is the best way to remove it?

Loud squeal at end of wash cycle, and now the drum is "frozen" in place. I really want to have this washer repaired. Is there someone in Central Texas who can work on it for me?
