Oh don't I wish they were SolidTubs.....although this is about the time they switched over, I had this same type control panel on a SolidTub version, with a porcelain tub, roughly a 76 model, this one appears to be early 80's, when Raytheon took over....Definately not a 210 degree agitation stroke, nor the 710 RPM spin.....
Actually where's JohnL.....I can't get the agitator cap off, it turns and turns, but does not come off, I thought at first it was the low hub shaft, but the cap is loose enough to lift the agitator where it is not tightened down.....I would hate to crack it off to see whats wrong....

So what year are your lovely machines? Looks like there's one here locally -- I like to collect matched sets and have sorta passed on this one...is it worth getting? (and to think they sold the matching dryer separately..!)

Well I finally got the cap off......had to hold the cap while it was spinning, which caused it to melt the caps inside, and pop off, yeah it must have broke free from the bolt, which was really stuck on there.....I will probably epoxy it back together, and grease the bolt before I put it back on.....
I can't seem to locate an exact date on these....but I am probably guessing from the 80's...maybe 85.......I know the Marathon series was out then, and these are close to it......suprising that there was not a stainless tub.... TWINS....that was one reason I got them...a matched pair....which gets to be a little rare these days...... Raytheon never did the 210 arc........my solid tubs are, and so are the new ones by Alliance.....I wasn't sure about it, until I marked the caps, and then measured the stroke Kudos to our DanManTN for making a video/link for us....he did one better with 2 color dots to see what how the agitator is doing a complete circle CLICK HERE TO GO TO Yogitunes's LINK |

Washerlover, for $50 I would snatch that machine up in a heartbeat! I too am surprised this one doesn't have a SS tub. |

not sure when the rim flo filter was discontinued,but my '84s have the rim flo filter system-it's very close to the setup found on filter flo design hotpoint washers,the flow delivered by a small filter pump built into the top of the belt- driven drain pump |

Oh.....I am Malcolm 100% with the aerated fill.........they could have done a million changes to these machines, but left the fill alone, and I would have been happy..........even the new ones could have this, and I woud have been the first to purchase one, just for that alone!....
that fill is mesmerizing, puts you in a trance......someday I may hook up a pump just to make a ST fill and over flo....over and over....like a waterfall birdbath.... |
