AMP MT WASHER
Andy I am glad you got it working without a major teardown, when you called the other night trying to figure out what to do next when it wouldn't spin it brough back lots of memories. The very first washer my brothers and I rebuilt was a 1951 AMP this was in 1966 when I would have been about 14 years old. We did a total tear down to the last part and reassembled it and used it as the family machine for the next year or so for all six of us. Mom wasn't too trilled with its performance so my next big rebuild was a 1959 LK that a friend of moms got rid of for a new turquoise 1966 LKM pair. The MT was sold to a neighbor up the street with 4 or 5 kids and lasted about four more years to be replaced with a 1971 KM 70 W sudsaver which lasted at least 15 years.
Who knows I might be the only one here that has done a total rebuild on an AMP, I have a 140S that needs major work, luckily I bought all the parts needed long ago when they were still avilable from MT. The 140S matches the MT water condenser that I have already restored.
We will all await the full sound and action videos of this neat piece of history, may be this will inspire me rebuild mine.
