Thanks!

I’ve just started restoring this machine the last couple of days. I’ll be posting a new thread. Currently I have the machine mostly disassembled and have the old centerpost seals and bearings removed. Looks like moisture made its way inside the centerpost which would explain the noisy spin. I’ll be installing new seals and bearings tomorrow. More to come!

Miles & Miles

A great find Jon and all the better for a fellow collector flagging it up, I love those square looking Kenmores after seeing Uni`s Lady 57 on my first visit in 2001 but I love the round dials on this it really offsets the cabinet and console detailing beautifully.

Nowthen 900 miles WOW, we get twitchy when we have to drive Manchester to London (160 miles ) for a find ha ha, youve just done slighly over the longest distance in Blighty, Lands End to Jon O`Groats, Well Done !! Looking forward to the restorations...

Bearings and Seals

Be sure and install the new upper bearing to the lower depth so you can install two upper seals so it lasts a long time. Love that washer,had a few of those years ago. have the matching dryer.
