This year instead of bringing home another vacuum cleaner from the convention last month I was lucky enough to have been able to bring this home......a Maytag A702. Thanks Greg N. |

The original base on the machine had a lot of rust on it so I replaced it with another in better shape. Also the damper and tub support arms. Not a bad interior for a 42 year old machine. |

The original washbasket was badly stained from iron....also the procelain was a little rough so I replaced it with a better tub. |

The Maytag rerinsing a load of sheets from the Blackstone 350.....just checking how effective the Blackstone overflow rinse with the high velocity spray is. The water is pretty clear......hmmmmm. |
