That looks like Suavitel "Morning Sun" fabric softener in the dispenser. Great score!!! Aren't AW.org friends the greatest?

Thank you all!
<span style="font-size: medium;">@ Tomturbomatic: yes it was, and he certainly is!</span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">@Catalanman: It's NOT my fault you get them so stained.</span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">@ Akrionman:Thanks! I will post a picture of the stove. It's a basic contractor model, an early 60's Slattery. </span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">@Peter: Thanks Peter! It was so nice seeing you again last Sunday!</span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">@Direct Drive Dave: Thank you!</span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">@Mtn1584: Thanks Mike. I will post some pic's of the stove and you'll be able to see the kitchen better. It's going to be a bit tight because the kitchen is only 7.5" wide. </span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">@MisterEric: Thanks Eric. That first comment on the jockstrap was made by it's owner. He dared me...LOL!</span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">@ Polkanut: Yes! You are right on the fabric softener. LOL! Indeed, AW has a lot of great guys!</span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">@Mickeyed. Thank you!</span>

Enjoy it mister.
How many loads did you end up doing that day?
Do you have a dryer?
My mother had a machine like that (1965/66 model-year) but with ONE cycle (programme) and two speeds; also replacing the "automatic" button with two buttons [gentle/normal].
(Send me pics of that Royal Rose or Imperial brand stove offline!)

I certainly will!
<span style="font-size: medium;">I ran OUT of laundry...LOL!</span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">The stove is a Slattery circa 1964. Nothing special, just a contractor model. Manufactured right here in Brooklyn, a few blocks away. Currently I'm looking to replace the knobs, but haven't found the exact ones. I'll post pictures here for all to see. Was really nice finally meeting you last Sunday!</span>

I have no idea what are you talking about Ultramatic... My jockstraps are always clean and pure! ;-)
Ok....ok...
<span style="font-size: medium;">Yes, they are always clean and pure...</span>

You're very lucky to find one! I want a 06 or 08 series next, but there are none close by which is a pain. They are all far away. I like the dark tub more than I like the white tub, I know it is smaller capacity, but it just seems nicer to me. Congratulations!
Thanks Kevin!
<span style="font-size: medium;">I wasn't even looking, until Martin hit me over the head with it! LOL! Hopefully you'll find your dream machine soon!</span>

Me thinks there's something not quite right with the was
Louie, I noticed the pause is wayyy to long between end of agitation and beginning of spin for both the wash and rinse portions, especially for this style of timer, which is the continuously moving timer and not the timer that moves an increment every 45 seconds. I kept hearing two or three times some sort of clank noise (that doesn't sound like a timer noise) that sounds like the motor is trying to start up for the spin/drain and the windings aren't quite right. then it finally catches and starts the spin/drain. when I moed here in 1986, I had friends that had that same washer and it only paused for about 10 seconds between end of agitation and start of spin for those phases. Kind of like at the end of the wash spin and as it begins to coasst to a stop, just a few seconds later the water beigins coming in before it stops spinning. That coasting and beginning of adding water was the clue to me that this wasn't the "snapping" timer, as I call it, that advanced an increment every 45 seconds.

Now you've gone and done it
Now ya got me dreaming about bootin the Fridgemore to the garage to sit next to the Lady Shredmore and have an old-fashioned long stroke helical drive Maytag in my laundry room. Ugh!!!
And unfortunately, I totally disagree with Allen. I think those old Maytags are extremely therapeudic and soothing just listening to them and just like on the video, there's just enough action to keep one's interest. I mean ya got turnover, ya got water sloshing back and forth around the tub as it washes.
Far more soothing than the LAT9800 model that my mom had that matched my LDE9824 Dependable Care dryer. I mean, that fast stroke of the orbital tranny couupled with the fast siwsh siwsh sound of the water as the top fins swished the water. Yes it had the typical Maytag motor hum, but all that siwshing was extremely annoying and disturbing to my Maygat mantra and chant I was so used to.

I don't think it's a timer issue...
<span style="font-size: medium;">It seems to be working fine....it isn't smooth running, more like every few seconds you hear it move. As for the other sounds I haven't a clue. So far so good. </span>

Their is actually nothing wrong with the washer it was a 1974 model and they were set to pause for a full minute before the spin. The later ones only paused for 10 seconds they had made some type of change to the timer. Thanks for the videos Louie. Keep us posted - do you have the manual to post?
Thanks Peter

their thinking of the rapid advance timers, more like 90's versions......the only early 80's one is the electronic ones which only pause for seconds, which I also have.....

Nice Machine louis
I wish I could have been there this weekend, except I have a New Project going on here on Old Cape Cod. Look forward to seeing everyone again. Eddie

1970s MT WASHER TIMERS
Yes your timer is working correctly, all automatic washer timers advance in increments, none move continually like dryer timers as too much contact arcing would occur. Your washer has the black plastic Kingston timer, I always liked these timers as they had a good feel when you are setting them. Unfortunately they have at least 10 times the likelihood of needing a new timer motor compared to the Mallory timers. The annoyingly long pause is completely normal, MT finely got this correct in the 1990s when they added a sub-interval contact to the timers so it could reverse the motor in about 10 seconds.
Congratulations on your new MT washer, 1974 was the year I started at the local MT home appliance store selling MT and WP appliances. It is always fun to get a new appliance 30 some years later, enjoy John.
