Hoover twin tub washers
It probably wasn't anything major that went wrong with it - those were amazingly simple machines. I still have my '60s model that I bought 2nd-hand in 1978, and really the only thing that ever needed attention was the pump (they were rather notorious for leaking) and perhaps the replacement of a belt once in a while.

bradross: Do you have a photo of the cover for your 1960's machine? I bet it's the exact same cover the lady up the street had. | ||

akronman: Love that old vintage gas stove in your profile photo. I know that the main oven on the left, but what it that smaller door to the left: A second oven or warming compartment? I gonna make a guess that since houses didn't have central heat then that it is a warming compartment. Am I right? Is that your stove? | ||

Hoover 0510 Retromania, a name would be helpful in your profile
The Hoover 0510 is the model she had, and here is a pic of the machine with the original Formica top.

Hey Retromania
That stove is a late 40's model, they used the same overall style from early 30's thru the early 60's. Chambers Range from Shelbyville Indiana. The smaller door on the right is actually just storage. The oven is so very well insulated that it doesn't warm the side at all. Plenty of pots and pans storage. Central heat was very prevalent by the time this stove was built, so one of its selling points was that it was so well insulated it did NOT overheat the kitchen.
