Way to go Dick! Am sure you will have that Lady whipped into shape real soon!
Sometimes it helps to walk away for awhile on a job such as this one. You have time to think things over, and you have a fresh start when you pick it up again.

Hold the faith guys,
Just discovered this afternoon that the acrid burning smell is coming from the motor which gets almost too hot to touch after running for 30-45 seconds. Might have to wait Sat. morning to replace. Can't wait. Will let you all know. My homemade wiring harness might still work fine. ((--::

Maiden wash load
Well, I finally did it! I got the 57 washer up and running and she runs beautifully. Does everything she is supposed to do and I must pat myself on the back because she's running with a wiring harness I made for her with my own little hands. I'm getting pretty proficient here in my old age I must say!

The burning electrical wire
odor I was smelling turned out to be the motor as I suspected. Just plucked one from another machine and voila! Another wonderful Kenmore is back to life.
Next on my list is to get the 50 bolt down going. I had started on it tearing it all apart and then kind of left it and moved on to other things.

Dick, I am soo proud of you. All done with your own hands!! I knew you could do it!! (But I"m still in awe). Bob
pat, pat, pat
We knew you could do it - just takes patience and persistence! Awesome work, you must be very proud of yourself, congrats on another beautiful Kenmore up and running again. That is a truly beautiful set, Dick.

I'm very happy for you Dick. I know you went through a lot to get this machine going again. I'm proud of you and I know how great you feel about it. I can't wait to see these beauties in person. Congratulations again!

A forthcoming video
Thanks guys for all your nice comments and by all means YES, a video will be posted shortly. I don't know if I can get it done by Turkey day but shortly after all the hullabaloo is over and everyone leaves I will get to it.
The washer was in the rinse mode when I took this shot and the recirc lint filter was already pretty clogged with lint from the shop towels. It really started to spray all over before the end of the two minute rinse mode.
