What a Wash

Look at all those suds.

 

[mayken4now]

And Rinse, overflow no less

And away goes the lint.

Then 1010 Rpm

Yep, got it, she works like there was never an issue, well almost, the brake hardly grabs, but hey, as far as I am concerned, it's fixed.

A Huge Thanks

to all who had information, help, and parts to see this Rollermatic run for me. I wish I could be of so much assistance to some of you who were so willing to take time and effort to email, send parts, even bring parts and then of course the New Sure Spin clutch offered on ebay, it made all the difference.

I surmise the machine would not have run much longer anyway before I started taking it apart for restoration.

Long and the short, never give up. I didn't and LOOK!

That is the model my Mom got...

In 1967. She had the choice between a Frigidaire and a Maytag. The Frigidaire was a wonderful machine. It took the place of a Maytag wringer, that washed thru 4 kids. My Mom was thrilled to have an automatic washer at the age of 47.

You go Steve!!! Congratulations on making a Rollermatic out the the Rollertragic!!
YAY!!

 

[frigilux]

Yes, congratulations, Steve! Next to the '58 Unimatic, the late 60's machines with the Deep Action agitator are my favorite REAL Frigidaires. (I have to keep reminding myself that I own sneaky imposters, LOL)

Glad your work/headaches with it are a thing of the past and now it's just time for fun, fun, fun.

Worth all the pain and agony of childbirth to see it running on it's own and independently again!

Good job, Steve - it was worth every contraction!
