Here is a 1959 Frigidaire Tech-Talk Service Manual for the new Multi-Matic washers, it's a 27mb .pdf file so its quite large and was scanned at a high enough level that it should print quite nicely...

Gansky's favorite!

Well, I have a WI-59 I need to get busy working on, so I don't think I'll gloat quite yet!

Thanks for the manual. Slightly off-topic, how do you copy something(s) like that to a PDF file?

Thanks for taking the time to scan and post Robert.

So, is there someone on the board who will be needing this soon? ;-)

Hmmmm, good question Ben, I believe there is someone out there who is gonna need this service manual real bad :)

It was created by scanning the pages and using Adobe Acrobat to assemble and save the document as a pdf book.

You forgot the page from the '64 Tech-Talk that the entire Multi-tragic mechanism can be replaced with a new Roller-Matic mechanism. Call your Frigidaire dealer for information and pricing today!

Ugh replace the nice quiet Multimatic with a noisy/rattling Roller-Matic, NEVER!

Now you know a Multitragic is a classic by the General himself, and comparison comes to mind of yet another classic by the General by the name of Chevy Vega, but that is another topic that belongs in the Super section......

Who would be barbaric enough to actually install a Rollermatic in place of a Multitragic???

FYI: One also needs the Rollermatic mechanism support to make the swap, as the "Tragamatic" support is too long, allowing the motor to touch the indentation in the outer tub.... Whoops!!! Did I say that??? <:

Well I've had a least one Multi with that much oil under it before! But I agree with Robert about that noisy Roller mechanism.

I had a premonition Greg.

And after dealing with 2 of them, I decided that CHANGE was the one thing my 60 Custom Imperial needed! <:
