does anyone have any idea where to find a boot like this? this one is from a 58 kelvinator, but i have heard that maybe a solid tub speed queen might work. does anyone have a parts list or list of numbers for an older speed queen? the upper hole has an inside dia of 2 to 2 1/8 inch and the bottom hole is 4 7/8 inside dia.

Hey there Chris - I certainly wish I knew of a good sub - but alas I do not. I must say though that your '58 is just beautiful! I so am looking forward to hopefully seeing your machines soon. I'm sure it is just me but your boot looks a little different in design than the boot from my '59. Maybe there was a design change? Good luck on finding a replacement ~ Ben PS - you should be receiving a package hopefully early next week with some goodies. |

Chris that is one good looking machine you have there. That cabinet just gleams!! Finding that part may be a problem but I think checking with Mark is a great place to start. |

Hey Chris - that's a beautiful machine and where there's a will, there's a way to get it going again. The Speed Queen boot may work, they are a little softer and more pliable than the original Kelvinator boot though so you may have to adjust the snubber bolts a little tighter than the original specs call for. If you call Larry at Modern Parts in Parma, OH I would bet he has SQ boots on the shelf. The p/n is 20129, but he'll know that from memory ;-) Good luck - can't wait to see it's maiden wash. |
