Awesome, Ben! The super splash-a-rama of these machines is amazing. Again, I tip my hat to all of you who take the time---and have the patience---to bring washers back to life.
Awesome.
This is where I get to learn the most stuff from you maniacs. These Kelvy's are so freakin' cool--but, honest to G, I've barely seen one of them in my entire life in the NY tri-state area. Were they only sold in some states? I'd love to see one in action, or own one someday.

Thanks guys for the messages. While they are very simple, mechanically, they are anything but simple while washing!
Yes - the motor is a Delco motor. The spare single speed motor and clutch that I received from Chris was of the Westinghouse variety. I suppose AMC was sourcing from whomever came back with the lowest bid.
Trip to Cape Cod? I've never been to that part of Mass before... ;-)

Ben the washer look's FANTASTIC!
I was wondering how do you advance the control panel, or start at a point where you want to wash ?
Nice restoration job ! That video what fun that is what an the hell record did you find the song from lol,Love it... I tell you there is NO need for a second rinse with that baby!
Concentric Action , Slimline wash bar control panel , Lighted control panel, AND see thru Window.......The machine rocks. AWSOME thanks. ( off topic )
I got a Neptune for my neighbor and I will show you later hey that rhyme.
If I can't get all the machines I want or don't have enough space I try to get other people to get them that way I can use them who are close to me lol.
I think the NEPTUNES are fun machines even if you can't see them wash until you bypass the switch, but sometimes when you imagine the clothes washing in the basket it is pretty mysterious... that model with the sound's are pretty soothing for me...Well have a good time with your Daily driver I'm sure in the future , there will be another one in it's place right ?
Take care.

There is something wonderful about a glass lid.

Leon - glad to have helped. Just as long as the drum isn't cracked and you get can the set screw out, you should be good to go. I'm brainstorming on ways to add more pad material to the shoes. Back in the day you could re-line break drums....
Oh Ben nice job
I love that model especially that dark speckled tub!
Nice job on a wonderful machine.
Nothin like kelvinator-kleen!
