REBIRTH OF THE 1965 CUSTOM IMPERIAL

[rollermatic]

even this could

be fixed

 

[rollermatic]

the timer

was not hurt in the fall!

 

[rollermatic]

i even had enough

of the timer dial gears and parts to get it working!

 

[rollermatic]

the control buttons

were coming together again

Good luck on your rebuild of that machine. May you bring it back to life completely.

Have a good one,
James

i wanted it to have it's

lited control panel again so i bought a new bulb. all the other parts except the switch were still there! i did put in a new ballast.

 

[rollermatic]

starting to lok

like a custom imperial again!

 

[rollermatic]

all switches but

2 work perfectly!

i wired it up and all cycles runs perfectly!

 

[rollermatic]

the lid for the

detergent/fabric softner is not damaged and is made of metal!
love that logo with the "rapidry" on it!

 

[rollermatic]

i did put on a new

motor protector i got from mark michaels. the original was destroyed in the fall.

def startin to look good!

 

[rollermatic]

it was

turning out much better than i expected!

 

[rollermatic]

i still have

more work to do ofcourse

 

[rollermatic]

but peice

by peice

 

[rollermatic]

i am

getting it!

 

[rollermatic]

here's a good

view of what it's looking like now

 

[rollermatic]

another

view

 

[rollermatic]

still have

some missing holes to fill in

 

[rollermatic]

and the lid

has a slight dent in it

 

[rollermatic]

and in just a little

more time this little pulsator will be jumping up and down again!

i'm going to begin another round of work in feb. it's been too cold to deal with it this month and i find i do better work when i take a break fior a few weeks!

BUT IT IS A MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEVER THOUGHT I"D SEE IT LOOKIN THAT GOOD AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You Are The Man!!!

If there was ever a restoration born out of tragedy, determination and *just* a bit of hard work... I never dreamed that she'd look this good again. BRAVO!!! You have every reason to be proud!
