Hope the link worked below. Just spoke to the seller and plan to buy/pick up this Saturday (can't get there any sooner!). I've never owned one of these before, he says it doesn't drain the water anymore, but works fine otherwise. Might just be a solenoid? Anyway, am hoping no one gets this one before I do!

We had the same model growing up. It is not from the 50's it is a 1963 model that came in white,coppertone, canary yellow or turquoise.Ours was installed the day before John F.Kennedy was asassinated.My Dad took us out to learn how to rollerscate at the rink so that I would not be there at home to "pester the installer."However, by the time we got home,all the wash was already done so,I went out in the rain and got real muddy so I would still be able to see our new gem do its thing. My grandmother laughed but my Dad was not amused. I found out decades later that,had Dad been me,he would have done the same thing!! LOL

that this is an electric one. At least, that's what I think the data plate says. That and the great big "UL" insignia. Lawrence/Maytagbear |

Thank you all for your support, so far, so good, it looks like it's mine. As far as moving, the service door is the thing on the top? I've never owned a front loader so am unfamiliar with what's what. And it seems from all of your posts that I MUST keep it upright and not lay it on its side? Too bad I don't have a forklift!

an appliance dolly, cut a 1/2" sheet of 4' by 8' plywood in half length wise; use the cut pw as a ramp into your pickup, support the center of the plywood with a turned up side down recycling bin, or milk crate; easy peasy!!! |

you'll love it JohnF forced one on me years ago. Wonderful machine. The service door is the lower kick plate panel, drop it down , on the right turn the thumb screw back like John says and you should be fine, if you are a Speeder then be sure to tape the dispenser door shut before you fly off down the road! |

Well, we had a successful trip to pick up the new addition to my family. It is in pristine condition, and indeed a 1965 model. It is a beautiful machine, no problems moving it and thank you all for your advice about the thumb screw! No time to play with it now as we are in the process of buying another house, but will post pics as soon as I get her situated in her new home!

And you won't have to worry about washing your clothing in a pint of water or so, this machine will use a nice amount of water to really clean your clothes! |
