had one back in 1992

That restoration looks fantastic, Chris. Some good friends bought her parents old farmhouse and there was same exact working model in the basement in great shape. I told them I would love to have it and it was moved into their attached barn for an easier loading into my truck. She accidentally smashed into the wash tub and ruined the porcelain with her big SUV, so I said no thanks. Scrappers ended up with it unfortunately.

You always do such a fine job of bringing machines back from the edge! I love the colors.

Also its a good idea to vaseline the hub under the spin cage and to remove it once a month so it doesn't freeze on the hub.

Gary Weibel taught me all about that with mine and on my machine we had 3-4 guys all pulling to get the tub out the first time.

 

Fun machine.

Chris, How are things going with your Easy? I hope you will give us an update. Gary

she is runnin fine am off tomorrow want to run it again. its kinda fun I roll it up to the kitchen sink and have at it.. have to laugh 2 weeks ago I got some newkind of tide powder and the box says one scoop = 6 and they were tellin the truth omg. I mean it was so strong I had to drain the wash water down to about 2-3 inches and refill the tub then it was just right wow

1/4 scoop does the trick

CONGRATS CHRIS.......

I just got the same one, last year. It came from MN, and was delivered straight into my storage unit in Jersey.
I just got my house last year, and just 3 weeks ago, finally got all the "larger" items, mostly appliances to the house now.
This is a fun project that will have to wait, until I get done with the more important house projects, though I'd rather tinker with the Spindrier.

I was also given a lower level Model, no faucet arms. Not sure if this will get restored, sold, or saved for parts.

I think it's cool, that there seems to be an increased interest in these machines. It's a Great segue from the Wringer to the Automatic machine.

Best of Luck,

Louis

P.S. I may be calling on you for advice when I get to working on mine

Have a Great Day

they were good machines you can do a whole weeks worth of laundry in the same wash water and by the end im amazed how dirty the wash water is then spin em out and either spray rinse them or refill the tub and rinse them you have total control over wash and spin time, but I can tell on my work cloths it really cleans

Chris, I agree fully, I am amazed at how dirty the wash water is after just a few loads. I don't have really dirty clothes, or so I thought until 4 loads later in the Easy.
I am not so sure that the rinse feature of these machines is a good way to rinse? I drain and fill up the washer too and rinse that way after using the spin-rinse feature.
I use Sears detergent and some Borax. Happy washing. Gary
