It is an Easy ironer from the Easy company that made washers and dryers also. |

And unless you are simply in love with busy work/repair restoration there are plently of ironers scattered all over the USA in better condition at nearly give away prices.
Parts are going to be very difficult to find for this item, and you are certianly going to need a service manual/schematic to understand how things go together. Easy has long since gone out of business but you can try looking around eBay and or the usual sources for repair/service books and so forth. |

But think both Maytag and Frigidaire sourced their ironers from other makers, Conlon comes to mind.
Indeed the patents listed on my GM/Frigidaire ironer are the same ones listed for Conlon and they hold them as well. Maytag also may have sourced ironers from Ironrite and or Bendix. Remember early in my Internet/eBay days seeing two huge gas heated ironers listed under the "Dry Cleaning/Laundromat" section. One was baged "Ironrite" the other "Maytag" but both looked very similar if not the same. |

If the OP intends on using his ironer after restoration for ironing, that is one tall clean up job IMHO.
By virtue of being the last stop on the laundry day circut, anyplace or thing connected with ironing should be spotless especially ironers and or irons. Nothing is worse than grease,wax or other soils all over one's fresh washing. Worse if those stains are set in by the heat of the iron/ironer, you can pretty much forget getting them totally out. |

The first thing to do is see if it works. Many old ironers saw very little use coupled with the fact that they were very durable in general, it may not now or anytime in the foreseeable future need any real repairs. Of all the old ironers that I have seen or worked on I have seen few that didn't work properly.
Usually restoring them is cleaning making a new cover and maybe the roll pad and often a new cord and changing the oil.
MT had two different ironers neater of which they made, the later one was an Ironrite.. |
