Just a curiosity question. smile 

 

For those who have done cabinet swaps between machines, such as when changing between colors, or upgrading the exterior cosmetics of a higher-spec machine using a better condition outer shell of a lower-spec machine, what have you typically done with the riveted ID tags?   

 

Do you drill out the rivets and pop-rivet the ID plates back onto the original corresponding machines?   Do you write a note in marker on the inside or back panel indicating that it has been swapped?   Keep everything as-is and do nothing?      And do you do something different depending on where the machine is going?  (i.e.: "keeping records" for a machine going to a collector who might care about originality or whether a particular combination of parts was ever produced by the factory.)

 

Not necessarily asking what should be done, just what you do.   No right or wrong answers. cool

The only cabinets I've ever switched were DD Whirlpool washers. Those ID plates are held on with plastic "rivets", where you can reuse them.
