Hello everybody i should tell you that i am a product salesmen for white goods, i have been in the buisness first at a secound hand reconditioned appliances and b stock machines. Then i moved up to a high end store in philadelphia which i no longer work at for six years and i thought it was the greatest to be apart and exclusive company and learn to be more effciant and a better product salesmen which i did learn, but came at a cost the cost of homophobia & racism i wound;nt put up with it anymore. So what was great about the two places ofcorse is all of the machines you are surrounded by . Everyday are delivery guys would bring back machines they had a pretty large backyard with goods i thought of u guys everyday because there was always some kind of washer u could save to many to mention and to many i wanted for myself but could not save them because of weird circumstances. This is not and easy hobbie lol. Anyway got a little somein somein and one is pretty darn nice the porclen top is mint, the action is ment, the agitator is ment, just the body needs work and the hot water line needs work and the perm press cycle gets stuck im almost ready for restorations with the help from the group. And the secound machine needs a paint job and the basket could use some cleaning,what can i use to make it shine. And it has a small leak underneath put everything else is great. HELP! your suggestions please thanks Darren k P.S. i'm in the new basement needs some paint its ulgy down there but got good lighting excuse it pleaes yaa!

Looks great! These Rollermatics are showing up as of late... Too bad we cannot find more Frigidaires(and other machines) from the 1950's... I'm sure people here can help direct you with how to restore your 1-18. Yes I agree, it is fact that racism and homophobia are both alive and well here in the USA. | ||

Porcelain yellowing? It could just be second hand smoke or that yellow film you get when you have a gas stove in the kitchen. I'd try rubbing it with one of those Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and see what happens. I love Mr Clean Magic Erasers, they're the best thing since sliced bread, well maybe not, but they're good. LOL The other product that I find works really good is VIM kitchen cleanser, the liquid/cream kind, not the powder.

If you do use steel wool in the basket of a washer - use a very soft touch and only 000 or 0000 pads on it. If there's hard water deposits on it, try using a low-acid cleaner like SnoBowl cleaner or a weak solution of CLR or better yet, white vinegar. Too hot of acid (like Lime Away) will etch the porcelain in a very short time...

Don't even think of using Muriatic Acid. | ||

I'd suggest
You go up the scale: -start with those magic eraser pads. They are foamed melamine and , together with a little water they work wonders. -if they work but there is too much deposit or they only work a little bit, I would try rubbing alcohol. It also cuts scale, especially that nasty combination of magnesium and calcium you sometimes get. -if that works, but is not strong enough, I would not go to vinegar around aluminum parts, instead try rubbing half a lemon over the stuff. If that works, then carefully (eye protection, skin protection, don't breath it in) use a dilute solution of citric acid. -if that works, but so slowly you think it will be another 50 years, try "bang!". Walmart has it. Same warnings, but be careful of any exposed metal for too long around it. It will, however remove just about any gunk. Steel wool is probably not worth the trouble, in my experience. Always seems like I don't get the last of the little particles out and they show up in my epoxy paint job. Paint is something someone else recently wrote quite a bit about. I don't remember the thread, but they were very thorough...maybe Ken or Robert? I have seen, but only once myself used, bake on paint jobs to restore washing machine cabinets and dishwasher panels. Holds up well, but means stripping things down to the basics, defatting and then baking. Sort of the old Schwabs 200$ baked enamel car finish. Hmm, why not? Do they still do that in the US? Epoxy paints are a pain to prepare, everything must be absolutely perfect. But even I, man of 10 thumbs (and all of them ambi-clumsy) have managed some smooth, long wearing, genuinely water and wear proof coatings. Thanks so much for the groovy pictures, I had never seen that w i d e Maytag logo before. Neat. ps: Racism and homophobia go hand in hand. I think it is a mind set which resents and hates anyone who is "different". You could have been a white breeder and they probably would have resented you for your perfect teeth, or nice smile or long fingers or whatever...that sort looks for something until they find it. Bummer you have to deal with it. Wish I could pretend Europe is better on that score... | ||
