The Control Knob This is the control knob in the wash position. Moving the lever shifts the motor and a tension pulley and transfers power between 1 of 2 belts.

10lb Load This is the view with the red lid removed, down the chute into the wash basket. This machine is pretty much the same as the first machine my grandmother had, when she replaced the copper.

Neat!
I wonder about the spin, tho'...if you get the chance, could you post some shots of her innards... I have never seen anything similar. Looks like a serious attempt at simplest solution possible to each difficult task. Leather? Whow! I had to replace a leather sewing machine belt not too long ago for a nonogenarian friend. I cheated and wet it...still working, so guess that was not too bad. How do you replace and tension them correctly (I assume the load on this machines belt is a bit higher than the peddle sewing machine.) | ||

Overload switch Behind the right access panel is an overload switch. Its rated at 3.5 amps 240v, and is rusted solid and full of old wasps nests. The supply cord is totally perished also, so I'll take the whole assembley to an elextrician and have it tested/rewired.

Drain Cock The drain hose is connected directly to the bottom of the outer tub. There is then a flexible hose that goes through a clamp of sorts, and by rotating the knob on the bottom left of the machine, you either clamp or unclamp the drainhose allowing the water to run out.

What do you mean by Innards? Other than the motor, those pulleys at the back is as complicated as it gets. When I remove the belts, I'll take the tub pulley off to see what sort of bearing is in place. | ||

Naco
Wow, another great find, no sleep for you two tonight!!! That Naco logo looks very "Hooveresque", look like a cross between a Bendix for innards and performance, ie.e bolt down etc and a mini sloping Westinghouse, and the best bit with the shute it does away with the traditional door seal, wont take much to have a spa bath & paint job to get this beauty pristine again.... My guess is the spin will be 460 rpm... and a good 10lb load not bad.. Enjoy, Mike | ||
