But the jewel in the crown is the dial: no, not illuminated as this machine is one step away from being a BOL (which is one reason I love it), but a color that, I believe, was used once, and only for this particular model. Welch would have shot these people. Course, I'd like to shoot Welch, but that's not in the spirit of this thread...

Congrats on your new washer! I'm sure you'll love it. I remember seeing this beauty when I was at Robert's wash-in, very cool. |

Thanks to all, as usual. "Did it just arrive?" The shippers were incredibly accommodating; because it was July 4th weekend and they had to bring it to me in a smaller truck, they were able to schedule delivery later, even though it came to the Wallingford depot in only a couple of days. "The motor-pump "linkage" thingie isn't looking too good." Yeah, the leather straps are looking worn, but they're incredibly durable. All I really have to do is change three of the drain/suds return hoses and put in the new washbasket although I am trying to preserve the old one. I'm having a little difficulty finding the right adapters to put on the old main drain hose leg which is custom-fitted to this machine and has a flare at the pump end. Just needs some more leg work. Someone recommended that I go and get some bilge-pump hoses made out of lighter and more flexible plastic. I'll definitely post pics as I finish the job. This is the very first suds-saving washer I've ever seen, less owned, and I'm dying to give it a trial run even if it means storing the water in a plastic garbage can. |
