AMP Timer/Kickplate
Hi!
That timer motor is nla and I've searched everywhere for it. However there was one member who rebuilt the motor for his AMP's timer. You can search the archives for AMP and find the posts where he shows how he did it. He has more patience than I, so I bought an A102S model timer off Ebay and scavenged the motor out of it and put it on the AMP timer. It works, however, that motor runs just a bit faster than the old Ingraham motor, so the wash cycle runs in about 1/2 the time that normally would on the dial. I figured, well, at least the machine runs now, that is if you can handle the quick cycle...LOL!
My AMP also needs a kickplate, but I've yet to find one. If you run into one, let me know.
Hope this helps!

I rebuilt an Ingraham timer motor some years back for Kevin's Apex washer. It's documented in the link below and the whole process went very smoothly, so much so that I thought I'd do it again a couple years later and try to make the completed repair look more like the original. Unfortunately, it turns out there was a good deal of luck involved in that initial success with the Jerry rigged tools I was using. When I tried to repeat the effort I couldn't get the tension right as the new wire was being fed onto the plastic spools, so as I fed the wire on it gradually forced the sides of spool outward by an amount that was barely perceptible, but enough to prevent reassembly of the little motors. It was very disappointing and more than a little disheartening. So after repeated failures to get it right I figured I'd stop working on them for a bit and think about how to proceed, ultimately deciding I needed an actual coil winder to do the job successfully, and I still haven't purchased one. They're kind of pricey. I do mean to get one, and looking back I'm actually a bit surprised by how much time has passed. I never meant for the pause in progress to go this long, so it's fair to say my ability to procrastinate has reached epic proportions. Nevertheless, with the link below you can see what I did the first time, and with any luck you'll be able to avoid flaring the sides of the spool the way I did with my later unsuccessful attempts.

Timer repair for Kevin's Apex washer
Most of you will recall that Kevin recently picked up a very rare vintage Apex washer, one of only two known to club members. After years of neglect it needs a lot of tlc to get it going again. So after the initial clean up, since very little happens on a vintage machine without a functioning...
