[christfr]

does anyone out there know of a source or used parts for a rollermatic? or a whole machine that is still in good running conditonthat i could use for parts. this time she is in need of a water pump being that she shattered hers when her coupler broke and the arm flopped all over the place. i knew she had a mind of her own the day i brought her home but id like to be able to save the machine. thanks chris

Seems pumps are a big problem with the rollermatic. The seals for the pumps as well as the pumps themselves are NLA. I have a rollermatic but the pump seal leaks in it. Robert told me that in some cases a stand alone electric pump can be used, but I'll let him tell you about that.

Whaaa?

So here's a stupid question: why is it called a Rollermatic? Sounds like the name would be more appropriate for a wringer machine.

Because it doesn't have a conventional transmission. It operates with a series of exposed rollers.
