This time I have really had it with this one. I have more man hours in this machine, than any other. It was just an empty shell when I got it, so I attempted to make a Multimatic transmission overhaul for it, with two parts transmissions. There were not enough good parts between the two to do so. Then I obtained a Rollermatic Transmission (non rapid dry)and converted the machine to that. Not an easy task. On the start of the spin cycle it would always chatter. I tried new rollers, cleaning the rollers, etc, etc, and finally learned to "live with it" After eight years, with light use,and minor other repairs, the chatter got so bad I stopped using the machine. Last month, I found a 1965 Rollermatic( with rapid dry)for free. (non running) I made the double capacitor up from parts at Mouser and installed, and the machine ran fine. So I removed the transmission and timer(because the timer is rapid dry only) from the 1965 machine, and installed them into the 1960 machine. Everything ran fine at first. Then the motor shorted out, and would trip the breaker. That was it for me. I broke it down for parts, and scrapped it. My neighbor kid, Darryon, helped me haul it out of the basement today. I loved the looks of this machine, however it was always a piece of shit. And I am glad that the scrappers will haul it away to become a new Toyota for someone. May it be a better car, than it was a washing machine. Should be no problem!
