RE:
As long as the side of the tub looks good and the water container looks good and there are no other visual or audible problems there is no need to remove the tub. Excess lint buildup on the outside of the tub or crud in the bottom of the water container can be removed with a brush. A good overflow of the tub to partially fill the water container and then a soak before you let it spin the water out might be a good thing if it appears to need it.

What kinds of things are down in there? I was able to push my tub to the side with one hand and reach all the way to the bottom with the other. The tech talk describes removing the tub, but I'd do whatever I had to to keep from it. I had no choice my balance ring plug leaked and the granules clumped together so it wouldn't balance or spin smoothly.

Very nice machine Brian - no money shot though? ;-) Did you leave the 15 series KA behind? If you need to remove the wash tub make sure you have a 1-1/2" slugging wrench to remove the tub nut. Also - the water bellows from a 1-18 washer WILL NOT fit a 1965-1969 Rollermatic. Make sure that your source knows the difference, if not - the hole in the top should be a 'D', as the 1-18 water bellows has a completely round pulsator shaft hole, let alone being taller than the earlier Uni/Multi/Rollermatic water bellows.

and when i say "sell" i am not out to make any profit or anything like that. i would always sell anything i have for the same price it cost me. i have just been buying up a lot of rollermatic and 1-18 parts as i know they are hard to come by. | ||
