Hello Victor78,
Is your intention to keep it absolutely authentic, or do you simply want a wringer that works? In my experience browsing ebay and Craigslist for everything "vintage Maytag", I have never seen a model 80/82. However, I do know of a member in Vancouver, BC - mikel64 - that had a machine which he was willing to part with. If you don't find one closer, perhaps you could contact him. His e-mail is listed on his profile. Failing that, you could check with Dick Sanders at Hardware Hank in Early, Iowa. Tell him that I referred you to him. His e-mail: dksanders@frontiernet.net or phone: (712) 273-5281. All the best with your restoration! - Brad |

Hi Tom,
The rolls are definitely not interchangeable between models 80 and newer 30/32 models that have the fatter rolls. I assume many other parts are different as well. I have a call in to Mike in Vancouver to see if he would "part out" his model 80 for you. I'll send you an e-mail when I hear back from him. It sounds like you've spent a lot of effort on your machine. I'm sure members here would love to see some pics of it, if you can post a few. If you're interested, I've got loads of pics on Flickr of two of my restoration projects - a 1935 Model 30, and most recently, a 1928 Model 90. CLICK HERE TO GO TO bradross's LINK |
