Thanks Everyone...
Darrel - I owe this one to (Brian) Northwesty in Seattle who tipped me off. It was a craigslist ad that had no pictures and just said Free Vintage Appliances. The guy didn't return my calls for a week and so I assumed they were already gone. He called Saturday and so I went right over.
Glenn - I can't wait to get the top off and see what everything does. I think you're right about that being a float switch.
Steve (Gyrafoam) - Thanks for the tip about the snubber. I'll take more pics as I tear into it.
Robert - I agree, this machine is fabulous. The ad does say "most wanted by most women"!!! I can't wait to see what features this machine has compared to what the ad says. Thank you VERY MUCH for posting that ad. It tells me a lot.
Austin - Thanks for the parts offering. Should I need anything I'll let you know. The motor has a raised GE logo on the bottom of it. Funny! I noticed the water temp and wash speed switches on my Maytag say General Electric as well. Guess they didn't mind sourcing parts from each other back then.
Ben - I was thrilled to see the familiar Surgilator in the machine. I have always loved that design and think the newer design they replaced it with is ugly.
Steve (mayken*)- I owe it all to craigslist and Northwesty. It's great when members can help other members.
Rickr - Thanks. I can't wait to see if the lid release button lights up the way yours does. Doesn't yours even open the lid automatically when the cycle is through?
Bob - I am very interested in finding out what that switch does. I don't think it's a suds saver because there aren't 2 drain hoses. When I plugged it in and turned it on, it didn't seem to have any effect when toggled back and forth so I'll have to see where the wires lead to. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks All - More to come. Patrick
