In late 2001, I inherited my great aunt's near mint wringer washer. I was just entering college at the time and it went into storage in my grandmother's shed. In 2003, Hurricane Isabelle came though and salt water went up the outside of the machine all the way to the tub (and thus around the engine), having other things to worry about (i.e. cleaning out flooded homes, studying through school), the wringer was forgotten about. About a year later, I went in and looked at it. The machine had developed rust on the legs and motor, the wheels on the bottom of the machine were locked up and I assumed that it was shot. From then on, the machine sat while I finished school and began my career hours away. Recently, I decided to take a chance and plug it in and to my shock the machine started agitating. I've never worked on a machine before and my mechanical skills aren't where I want them to be. However what better to practice on?
So fellas, here is my question. Where do I start? What do I need to do to get this machine where it needs to be? I was unable to get the wringers to work, however the safety "ball" disintegrated with age, so the mechanism may work, though the wringers themselves are shot. Where do I find new wringers anyway? Thanks for the help!
