I've been wanting a little belt-drive portable for some time. Stumbled across an advert on CL and a few days later, with the help of BrianL, I've got her! She seems to be seaworthy, with no leaks. Her mechanicals seem a little on the noisy side, so I want to pull the cabinet this weekend and see whats going on underneath. Of course, a complete cleaning is in order. The previous owner said she'd had it for 2 years, and I wouldn't be surprised if she'd never once cleaned the lint filter... it was gummed up with black gelatinous lint slime that stank of mildew. Here are the pics from the ad:

here' some from a few months ago
like said melvin and i gave each other some stuff. i came back with this cute little portable kenmore and melvin took a whirlpool front loader i bought a few years ago as a scratch n dent at lowes. he also sent me back with a speed queen commercial top loader (that is still on my front porch). not a good pic but you can see i have the control area taped off as i intend to paint the cabinet. it's almond now, my least fav appliance color.

with the plastic rim
or whatever it's called removed. the outer tub had a lot of junk it it but it cleaned up like new. this rim was realy dirty on the underside but also came out looking like new. love the style of the agitator and the color of the inner tub. reminds me of the early frigidaire unimatic tub color. and when it washes it has a 2 minute super fast stage that is incredible! i remember asking melvin about that, never saw a whirlpool or kenmore was that fast before! eventually going to put a switch on it to stop timer advance so i can keep it in that super wash mode for a longer period.

i'm sure i'll never use it
but it's good to have i guess. thanks to melvin! hope he enjoys the front loader whirlpool, i sure love this little portable kenmore! i use it all the time. does have a small leak at times, i'm hoping around the pump seal, not the main seal. have not had time to check it out yet and it only leaks on occasion when it hasn't been used for a few days. then it quits after a minute or so.
