OH NO Chris.

How bad is it? Perhpas slow down the usage on it, and play with it on occasions only.

Good luck, keep us informed.

Well,Sugar, could you be less vague?---I'll check a part number against a diagram I have and see if I have the part(s) you want----I just need a good description (can't get a good visual on a "brass sleeve")!

this machine dosnt get much use but i dont want to kill it.. anyway there are two sleves each is about 2 inch long. and one is at the top and one at the bottom of the inside of the spin shaft. and the agi shaft runs through each on them, they have sort of a slot in them that matches up with the grove on the agi shaft and i think they are supposed to keep the agi shaft secure and inline while running.. when i had the washer apart the upper one had cracked about a half inch off but i had to use it again anyway but i have a feeling that its either broken more or is just falling apart. the machine seems to run fine while empty but with water or a load in there she knocks and the agi seems sort of loose or something not sure how to put it in words ... sorry

I have the same issues with my machine and had to take it out of service. Knocking during agitation (and difficulty getting mooving and up to speed in spin?) Since I am currently knee-deep with that Unimatic----my Rollermatic will just have to wait.
I'll take a look at the diagram and see if I can identify said apart(s)as if you are correct we will BOTH need some!
No problem.
