i went to this storage facility type sale, where a guy works on washers, dryers, stoves and refrigerators. and there are storage units towards the back of this man's shop. and inside one of the storage units, there was quite a few washers, and stoves in there. so, i decided to snap some pictures of some that i figured others would get a kick out of seeing. please bare with me, i tried to take alot of pictures. sorry if some of them came out blurry.

picture #5 (THE LINT FILTER #3)....

now when i tried to lift the lint filter out, it felt like it was kinda stuck. so i gave it a good pull and it loosened up & came out. it kinda had the feeling of like dried out dirt, when it breaks apart, when your pulling out weeds.
but come on now, when was the last time someone cleaned out this lint filter? did they ever clean out the lint filter?? i'm guessing they probably didn't even know that there was a lint filter in the top of the agitator???!!!
just look at all that build up. the poor A608. aside from the super built up lint on the filter, there was a dent on the left hand side of the top cover (where the lid is) that had some of the white porcelain chipped off. and the front panel had been removed & wasn't put back on correctly cuz the left side clip at the top was sticking out of the top of the front panel!!! and i'm pretty sure the tube that was in the washtub was the tube that connects from the bleach funnel to the bottom of the outer tub!
YIKES!!!

i was pretty excited....

to walk around in that back storage shed. and especially when i spotted the maytag A608 (even if it was white)! but when i seen that lint filter, it kinda made me cringe. and then i seen the chipped paint & bang dent on the top and i felt kinda bad for the old maytag A608. i mean, the buttons looked lovely with great paint on them. but i'm not even sure if this maytag was even working anymore??? couldn't plug it in anywhere to try it out. and being that the front panel wasn't even put back on correctly, i kinda had a feeling that maybe someone was tinkering around down there and maybe didn't know exactly what they were doing???

:o/

hope you all enjoyed these pictures i took.

Frigidaire Range..

That color is actually called Sherwood Green, it came out before turquoise, I believe its a 55 model.

Christina-
Just an FYI the tag in post 9 & 10 is a referred to as a TL Neptune.
It tumbles the clothes over like a front loader for washing and rinsing but when it spins to extract the water it's like a top loader.

you got it darlin'!!

hippiedoll's profile picture
when i walked in, i was looking around and i had seen the frigidaire stove before, when it was in the "working" space, waiting to be worked on. i don't go to this place often so i don't know when it got moved to that hidden back storage place. but it was moved back there.

anyways, after looking around, i was going to walk out and i thought,
"hey wait a minute! i have my phone and i should take pictures to post in the group. they would probably LOVE to see this stove!" and then i spotted the GE washer and said, "i've got to take a picture of that GE." and then i was checking out the maytag A608 and when i took out that stuck lint filter, i thought, "ewwwwww! i've got to share this with the group!!!" i had seen a picture of a lint filter that looked similar to this one (i can't remember who's maytag lint filter it was?) but, i do remember seeing a lint filter that was in similar conditions as this one. and i couldn't believe that it was actually true and that i was actually seeing it in person!!! i just couldn't believe and also wondered, "did the previous owner even know that there was a lint filter that lifted out of the agitator? i just can't imagine how long of lint build up that could've been on there!!!???!!!
LOL......

i hope you all got a kick out of the pictures.
i took these pictures with all of you in mind......

;o)

maytag tl neptune.....

hippiedoll's profile picture
rick!

thank you for the description of the maytag neptune washer. i was wondering just how this maytag worked. i was wondering if the pulsator wheels turned in the same direction, to tumble the clothes all in the same direction? or if the 2 pulsator wheels turned in opposite directions, making the clothes rub against each other to make them get cleaned?

the thing is, when i looked in the tub & seen the 2 pulsator wheels, i got a flashback of looking into the washtub of the hoover twin tub or the other twin tubs that had the pulsator wheel, off to the side, at the bottom of the washtub. i think it was a panasonic twin tub that might have been made like that (if i remember correctly??).

i am going to see if there is a video on youtube of a maytag neptune in action, so that i can see how the clothes get washed in this kind of topload washer. here's a question for you, which will probably get answered if i find a youtube video but, does this wash tub get full with water? or does it use a limited amount of water??
