I was recently given a 1940 or 41 Maytag wringer washer. I think it is a "Commander" model. Has a square tub, but not double walled. It runs, but leaks around the bottom and I would have to say it is in "fair" shape, considering its age and the fact that it sat unused for years. Here is my question: There is an appliance service near me that will come to my home and "rebuild" the machine for $375.00, including parts and labor. From what I understand, they will do everything needed except cosmetic work. This business has been around for years, and has an excellent reputation. The owner of the business does all of the restoration work. I am giving it serious consideration, as I want the machine to work as it should. Lacking mechanical skills myself, I consider this a fair price. Does this seem to be a reasonable price? Any input will be greatly welcomed, as I know the "experts" will be reading this...
