More Gyrator action. I'm simply in awe with it. I love the swishing sounds... and the way they change just by adding soap. I can't believe I got it this far... |

Nothing says wash like Tide for me. It's what we used growing up and I will always love the smell. |

You've got a nasty arc in your start switch, or something. arc = heat = melted parts in motor. phsssstt! From the video I suspect you've noticed this. |

After viewing the video, can others on here confirm Bill's diagnosis of the clicking noise to be an "arc in the start switch"? How do I see for myself? Is there a quick way to fix it? |

I didn't notice any electrical burning smells. In fact I had it washing for about 20 minutes straight, and afterwards I felt the engine and tranny, and everything felt very cool. |

I would attribute it then to maybe belt noise or a loose mount. With the bungees that could cause the sound - possibly. To be 100 percent certain though - take the motor off the washer, hold the motor to the ground and plug it in. If the sound stops - then you can attribute it to the machine as a natural noise from a 70 y/o washer. Ben |

I went to cocktail hour last night--very rare for me to do so on a weekday, rarer, as Greg would say than finding a box of Dash or hens' teeth;' So last evening's posts are pretty whimsical. Now for the truth: my grandmother, Margaret Crotty, whom I worshipped, was afraid of electricity and lightening. I pretend that I am not afraid of electricity, but I think some transference has occurred, even of it's subconscious. My Greyghost which I offered to Tuthill, or anyone who wants it, scares me because ONE, the drain port is directly above the motor; and TWO, I swear I feel a mild current whenever I touch it but I am tactilely hyper-sensitive, so a normal person might feel nothing; and although it is very exciting, I want no part of it. Would you like my Greyghost, Eugene? Or would anyone else? Whoever--I'll put your name on it and keep it indefinitely. It sits in the far corner of a large garage, silently waiting to excite. |
