"Mo Miele, Mo Miele, Mo Miele..."

The panels do indeed bolt to the frame. Miele calls it SpaceFrame construction. The washer is very rugged.
It looks like you have your work cut out for you on that machine there. Ripped boot and all.

Miele 4800 seems to have cheap plastic rod dampers (shocks)!?

Oh Mike

that poor Gyramatic was too far gone! The boot system is unlike anything I have ever seen and was unique to that model year so it was not salvageable and has gone to that great Dealership in the Sky over South Bend Ind.

You can't save everything. And you can't argue with crazy.

Oh thats too bad. I have a Frigidaire washer in my basement in Maine that still runs and eventually I will get rid of it..I had my fun with it but I am not one to chuck things out but the basement is getting full. I know what you mean.

Yes, mo' Miele. I'm just a boy that can't say no...

Brought home yesterday a 1926 washer and matching 1526 dryer. We loves us some Graigslist. Pics to come.

1926: that's the "jumbo" Miele, isn't it? Deeper tub/drum, something like 2.1 cu ft (vs about 1.6 for the std size). Congrats, will be interested in the photos.
