Dispenser
The dispenser flowing one of my favorite things about this machine.The flow is a little weak ,it seems to have prostate trouble.I will have to check into that but its been awhile.

Oh..... So THAT'S where it went to! I thought I notice
Hey Mark, good to hear it arrived in time for today (Merry Christmas)!
Also very good to hear it's nicer then you expected!
It's funny that it lived the majority of its life in the Boston area, then came to live with me for a while in southern CA and has now gone back "home" to the Boston area!
Enjoy it in good health Mark!

Empty space in my garage...
Which most likely filled in about 30 sec after it was made... LOL!
That is a nice machine. I got to use it during Kevin's last wash in as she sat right next to my coppertone Lady. That is one really great machine that will be loads of fun to use.

Another beatiful Lady! What year is this machine?
And thank you for posting that picture of the machine's power plant; it was very instructive. Let us know what's happening with your detergent dispenser's prostate ureter. The one on my Lady isn't flowing at all. I flushed it out once and now that I've disassembled, cleaned and reassembled the bleach/rinse dispenser, I will try it again.
Just love that mustard Vari-Flex. Yours is identical to the fabled white one; it has the upper vanes and the flared fish-tail portals.

Video and Flow
I will try to post a video I am not sure how havent done that before.I will also post on the dispenser flow issue.I used to fix that problem all the time but that was many moons ago.I think the hose to the dispenser or the bottom of the dispenser would get clogged with crud.I am also going to have to look at the motor it sounds like its in agony when it first comes on and I can grab the agitator and stop it when its agitating never a good thing.Thanks to everyone for all the interest in the machine.
