Spinner. It looks un-centered in that the machine was lying on its side (in my car! YAY!!!) when this shot was taken. |

Ya know, I din't see that before. You are right! Looks like those articles of clothing were blocking the drain hole. This and the tape over the drian hose may explain why it was briefly homeless... |

What a great find. Steve you will have this spiffed up in no time. I bet the clothes in the spinner is why they tossed this to the curb. |

We had one of those when I was growing up, but it was Branded Astor. Ours lacked the automatic cycle, but it had a hook over the wash bowl to hook the drain hose into and circulate the water through the the filter on the bottom. It's a great find steve and it looks great. |

That was my grandmother's machine in Brooklyn (Bensonhurst). What killed it for her was a crack in one of the hose connectors underneath. She combed all 5 boroughs and could not find any dealer or parts store that could/would help her. When I visited her and would wash, I would always transfer the load from the wash basin to the extractor each time the machine would go into drain (after wash and after each rinse). The impeller does reverse, but there is a long period of agitation before the direction change and it really gets up to an impressive speed. Often times I thought the machine would tip over as the load got "out of balance" while washing. The water would also ride pretty high up the sides. |

If you have no disk at hand then you might want to adopt the procedure of always loading small items first into the spinner, crowned by larger items on top. The larger items will keep small items from flying off the spinner. Emilio |

Filling. Had to clean the inlet screen of the solenoid valve. Then the machine filled at a decently fast rate. At first the valve leaked even when off. It must have overhead me say it was going ot get surgically excised and disposed of once replaced. Five ninutes later it was water-tight and no longer leaking. Corner grille removed showing overflow tube. |
