Basically it just needs to be restored. Pulsation and spin both work perfectly. It needs a new bearing and the transmission needs to be taken apart, cleaned and de-rusted, and fresh oil added. |

Wow Jed, that is an amazing restoration of the wash tub!!!!! Porcelain is amazing. It looks like water had sat in that tub for months, possibly more until it all evaporated. other than to change the oil, why in the WORLD would you want to even so much as open up the mechanism??????????!!!!!!!! Because by the way it sounds it needs to be properly restored, that mechanism is either totally dry or has some water in it. Proper restoration will make it run well for years to come. |

That agi looks like it's only ever had distilled water on it for about 10 seconds. Looks as pristine to me as the prs on Roberts recent cyclafabric ! |
