Now that's a dramatic change. Simply beautiful. Anxiously awaiting the results of test runs!

Thanks Guys
I have to go out in the garage and just make sure I am not dreaming this. Today is new hoses and plug day. Hopefully I can do a couple of tests.
Thanks for the Compliments and Good Wishes Everyone.
Can anyone get me on the path to finding a New Dial and Parts Source ? I never ever thought I would be asking that question.

And you didn't stop in to say *HI*?
Congrats!
Congrats!
Simply Marvelous!!!
Eddie, that Frigidaire washer is just fantastic! Talk about finding gold in what looks like dust!!! I am betting that the washer will start up and work like a charm. Don't forget to use a grounded supply cord to replace ol' crumbly there!
If I didn't already mention this, try Modern Parts House in Parma, Ohio (216-661-6966 speak to Larry).
Can't wait to see the electrical and water tests!!

Congrats Eddie! I'm glad it went to a good home. 
Very nice!
Happy to hear you were able to get this after all. Hope you will be able to find a new dial without too much trouble.

OK
Who knows about this :
I need to replace the poser cord. Seems like there are more than 2 wires coming out of the old cord. Can someone explain to me how and where the new cord wires should go ?
My electrisical (Green Acres) expierience is next to none.

Hmmm... So if a MobileMaid is a 5, then the Unimatic should be a 5 too so you can't plug in more than a 2 with it... LOL

Hey Eddie -
I wired in a new cord on my WO-65 a few years ago and took some pics of the process. I'll post them later tonight.

Hey Guys and Gals
Paul...
Thanks, But here on Cape Cod our Electrisical panel allows us to go up to 14 not 12. So, I can have the MobileMaid and the 1-18 and still have the ShowTime Rotisserie Plugged in too, That equals 14 as I have a Pork Roast in and in hasn't blown the generator yet.LOL And Lisa is still waiting in the rain for some eggs from Alice. ROFLMAO !!!
Ben,
Thank you so much as I have to do this right. I don't want to toast anything and if you have the pics on changing out that plug... Obrigado (Thanks) .
It's just so great of all the compliments and support from all you guys. This is the Crown Jewel. And I don't want anything to go awry.
And Thanks Robert for this page. I can't imagine any of us would be pulled together if it was not for Automatic washer.org.
This is probably one of the most peaceful pages left , that friends are helping each other making their dreams come a reality.
Imagine,,, Finding a memory and it comes back to life to revisit.
Thanks everyone for all your help. Eddie

I discovered that my photos of the change over weren't very helpful. So instead I've posted a copy of the WO-65-2 wiring diagram.
I assume that you'll want to bi-pass the pesky lid switch. Here are the simple instructions:
A. Wire the new black from the cord to the Motor protector:
In purple I've drawn the new path of the new black wire. You'll unplug the black wire leading between the motor protector and the lid switch and plug the new black wire from the new cord to the motor protector. This will remove the lid switch from the circuit entirely and you can remove all wires from it. I've found that you can find new 'Douglas' connectors at your local ACE or Hardware store. They'll have blue insulators around them.
B. Now - the more important part. The white wire from the new cord will need to go to the following:
1. Timer Motor
2. The white lead down to the motor trip solenoid
3. The white lead down to the water valves
More than likely the wires up to the timer are still good so you should be able to solder a connection to that wire. Check to see what condition the wires are that lead from the timer down to the motor and the water valve. If they are still soft and are not brittle, you can continue to use those and wire straight into the two white leads.
I took the new green ground lead and put a round connector on it and fastened it to one of the upper inspection cover screws. In the next post you'll see a photo of the WO-65 leaning on it's side, and you can see where I fastened the green grounding screw.
Let us know if you need any more help. I've scanned and had Robert post a good deal of Frigidaire literature on the Service Manual section of the main page. There is a .pdf dedicated to the WO-65/WO-65-2 Unimatics. Breeze through that if you need further help, or go through Robert's copy of the Unimatic re-opperation manual, full of goodies on the transmission rebuild.
Once you get it rewired, as Robert suggested in an earlier thread, put some hot water down the drain tube to get the carbon seal in the pump lubricated. I would rock the motor fan back and forth by hand to make sure everything is free before applying electricity. Plug it in and put it in the RINSE portion of the cycle. Let it pulsate for a few minutes, turn it off, and put it in spin to see how the bearing sounds. If you don't have a screaming Unimatic, and the pump seal is holding you may have a keeper on your hands!
Congrats! The WO-65 washers are one of my favorites. Truly one of the most enjoy washers in my basement - by novices and washer lovers alike.
