that is a nice machine!!!

good luck with it. the rollermatic service manual is on this site to download if you like. it is very informative and has helped me a lot with both my 1-18 rebuild and my rollermatic.

great find!
 
RE:

As long as the side of the tub looks good and the water container looks good and there are no other visual or audible problems there is no need to remove the tub. Excess lint buildup on the outside of the tub or crud in the bottom of the water container can be removed with a brush. A good overflow of the tub to partially fill the water container and then a soak before you let it spin the water out might be a good thing if it appears to need it.

I have to remove the tub theres things caught down in there and I cannont pull it out with a needle nose plyers...so any help with removing the inner tub would be great...the bellows are all off already
 
i know who has water bellows for sale right now

i just bought a couple off him!

i have not removed my inner tub as my machine is working fine at the moment but i have been studying the repair manual i downloaded like the bible! it is definately an easier job than tearing down a 1-18 i feel! the rollermatics seem simpler in design to me.

i just aquired 3 more rollermatics this week myself and am picking them up this tuesday. i am going to tear one down for practice as soon as i get them. when i start i am going to post the entire tear down procedure for anyone who may find it helpful. i can't wait to get started as i want to learn about it myself. i know getting the hub nut off will most prob be the hardest part, it was on my 1-18 when i tore it down.

i will keep you posted when i pick these machines up! i also know where to get a pump seal for rollermatics if you need it. i took pump off my rollermatic and gravity drain it thru my floor but then i have a hillbilly house in the country so i can do that crap!

i also just bought 2 oil bellows i found but unfortunately can't part with them as i have to save them for my rollermatics or 1-18 should i ever need them.

i bought a water seal for a rollermatic off e bay recently but there don't seem to be any more at this time. i looked under "frigidaire parts".

thats about all i have on rollermatics at the moment. i sure love that washer though, i started using mine this week since i know i have 3 more now. was afraid to use it before! it is so much fun and i love that sound it makes when it pulsates! there is no other sound as far as washers go in my book! and even though mine is not a rapidry (one of my new one's is) the clothes come out extremely dry after the final spin!
 
What kinds of things are down in there? I was able to push my tub to the side with one hand and reach all the way to the bottom with the other. The tech talk describes removing the tub, but I'd do whatever I had to to keep from it. I had no choice my balance ring plug leaked and the granules clumped together so it wouldn't balance or spin smoothly.
