She got all mixed up; all mixed up in the spell and landed right in the middle of the freeway!!!

We got her home, but she's always a little worse for wear:

We needed to do a little "work" on the face:

Fortunately for all of us, Mother showed up in the nick of time:

Of course, a little petroleum jelly on the lens helps a lot:

Step 2 in the spell was to clean and reattach the switches, knobs (her favorites) and dial faces:

Next step will be to remove the washbasket (when the weather warms up a bit so I have a little more insurance that the fill and filter-flo flumes don't break off from the removal. We already snapped off one of the bolts holding the spin basket to the tranny. Oy.

 

And then on to the cabinet and a trial run. This will be interesting.

Ken,

Aunt Clara is off to a great start!  You get an A+ for the console.  Keep up the great work!

Looking good Ken! This one is going to be a real beauty!

Good point about the fill and filter-flo return nozzles - I very stupidly tore open the top of the '63 GE V-12 when I first got it and managed to rip the filter-flo hose... BUT, I was able to re-attach it with a high-heat epoxy (Perma-Poxy) and it's been doing fine. I hope you won't need to use this method, though!!

Keep up the good work!

That's quite a transformation!  The textured surface bears a remarkable resemblance to that of the CD Maytags.
