Watching the Kenmore Combo.......Jeff, Jim, and Gary had never seen a Combo in action before.....here they are learning how it spins and balances itself before going into SPIN........

We were reading about the 1960 Kelvinator washer with "eccentric" wash action so gentile you could wash a paper napkin without tearing.......

Jeff from Mansfield generously brought me two new machines.....so it was time to unload them........the first one........a rather rare Maytag model 124 ! Time filled.....he just recently found this.......

Previously untested........we brought in inside....let it warm up for a few.....then "tested" it........Yeah! It worked..... sort of! .........

So, Gary who is the Maytag repair expert of the group....helped to fix it! Here is the group assiting Gary.......turned out this washer still had the original METAL pump on it.......I had a new plastic one........Gary installed it in a jiffy !

More of the metal pump close up.......Maytag made one of the best pumps ever....they were extremely durable.......seldom if ever do they need replaced.......

11-31-2008-01-50-25--FilterFlo.jpg
 
Taking the pump apart......the metal ones could have been rebuilt at one time in their lives.....before the plastic pump had been invented.....here is the pump all apart......the seal of course was bad...... but still a testament to the good quality build that Maytags always had.....

All fixed and running. This model is from approx 1958 judging from the dates on the back.......which makes it an even 50 yrs old! Thanks to Gary for repairing this.....its now ready for another 50 yrs of good and reliable service......
