Thank you all very much!!!

QSD-Dan, I was not trying to show you up or anything, I just had to share the "family photo" while I had the opportunity!

Justin, Yes this was the primary reason to coming back to Phoenix, to pick up a set that has been waiting for me with my name on them.

Rich & Ben, I've had the Maytag wringer for a few months now. I got it home and plugged it in only to have smoke bellow from the motor after running for just 15 seconds! I was so bummed that I did not post anything about it! So now you all know that I also have the 1964 Maytag wringer (with pump) but it needs a motor!

Gary: Actually it's not the entire machine (Shhhhh!) it's only the top! (I have the matching dryer top too!) Hehehe

Christopher: It was very nice meeting you and you are very welcome! I'm happy I was able to bring a vintage Maytag into you life so you can kick that Bosch FL to the curb! (DUCKS & RUNS..... ) LOL

I certainly didn't take it that way. Not much in this world gives me a hard on more than Maytag pics :)
 
New Motor on the 1964 Maytag Wringer?

Kevin,

When Gary (abcomatic) and I started working on his Easy Washer/Spinner back in March, his motor started smoking immediately when we turned the machine on. I took the motor off, and brought it to my brother, who worked on these things frequently in the past. We carefully dissembled the motor - it's not that complicated. We cleaned everything up, and he used some fine sandpaper to clean up the contacts points. Re reassembled the motor, and it worked beautifully. I reinstalled the motor on the Easy, and Gary had done many loads in that machine since.

Moral of the story - I wouldn't throw the Motor out with the wash water quite yet. Have a go at just cleaning it up first. You might be surprised, and save a bundle of money.

Mike
 
Merry Christmas

You take one of those lighted pictures, add a little garland and a few scattered ornaments and you've got the perfect Christmas card photo...maybe with this greeting inside..."Hope this Holiday Season finds you lovin' the spin that you're in."
Pretty corny huh?
The pics are all just great!
 
Just Beautiful!

Kevin,

I also want to pass on another big THANK YOU for helping me start my vintage collection. Have tried to forget about the 806 as I don't know how long it will take to get it from CA to PA...THANK YOU GORDON as well! I am very excited!
