...........THE FULL STORY!
The washer cleaned up beautifully. This washer was never outside, it was in a guy's basement. (so you can imagine the condition of the basement!) Robert went to repair this guy's other washer, (a later model Hotpoint) and spotted it. We went to pick up the machine and the basement was N A S T Y ! ! ! This man had inherited the home from his Father when he passed away. The basement was full of junk. He said that his dad NEVER threw anything away, and looking at the basement, I sure believed him. Thousands of old used sparkplugs, radio/tv/phono combos, furniture, toys, and the list goes on. Junk piled to the ceiling with just a small path to get through and we had to move lots of stuff to get the machine out. The guy told us that when his mother used it last, (six years ago) that it worked perfectly. We hooked it up and sure enough, it did! I fugured that it would need a pump or belt at the least, but it fired up and washed like a champ. Robert cleaned on the machine a good half day and of course it DOES need a paint job badly. No problems otherwise.
