Waking up after 35 years - Streamliner Living!

Bolted and running

A blessing

NICE quite bearings! Listen after that rattly pump stops.

Ah! Congratulations! That's a sweet little machine. I've seen photos of these in a German laundromat. Are you going to take in laundry now?

 

[mrsalvo]

Sweet!! That’s a good durable machine. I’m glad it’s up and running again. I remember seeing quite a few of these in laundrymats or washeterias as a kid. The impression they gave me was no nonsense, down-to-business cleaning....and done before you knew it. Congratulations!!!

Hope to see a good size load being washed.

It might be easier, cheaper, and quieter to simply install a dedicated pump.

WOWZERS...

Very cool!

I'm not really a fan of front load washing myself, but I LOVE this little washer❣ Thank you for adding the videos of this washer, especially the one showing the tumbling action with the drum filled with water. I was wondering how much water the drum filled up with?

That is very cool. The videos made me smile


CONGRATULATIONS!
on getting this washer up & running.
Doing the HAPPY DANCE for you on this side of the computer.
WOOOOO HOOOOOO!
DANCE

Westy

I have one of those though I have not run it yet.I like the light color tub yours has mine is dark.

Hi Mark!

They are cool machines, you'' have to come down and see it run when I get to going again. !!!

How is the GyraMatic Bendix doing? Miss that machine! We will see how well this cleans, I found out it has 2 deep rinses on the timer![this post was last edited: 11/17/2021-15:36]

Hey Jon!!

I would love to come see the westy!Thank you again for the gyromatic Bendix.It needs a transmission that is what that loud noise is. I may be able to rob one from one of my parts bendixes but then it wouldnt spin as fast. The E-Z Sudsit Laundromat at my future home The Hotel Costa Plente is all finished I just need to get my eight pinball machines out of there into the other room.

 

[jetcone]

Mark! AHAHh

I love that name Hotel Costa Plente !!

Wow I thought that was a slight bearing noise, the tranny. Ill keep my eye out if I see one. I had an older Gyro I should have parted out! Hindsight is 20-20.

The Streamliner has a BTMD and Bad water valve and horrible pump so all three are going to the lab bench and staying at the Hotel Costa Plente for sure !

 

[eurekastar]

Wow!  That uses A LOT of water!  Thanks for posting!

I always find great joy bringing an older piece of equipment back to life. Just be carful, it's addicting and can lead one to become quite the professional hoarder.
