vintage solid tub-i'm guessing early 70s vintage,could be a real nice score! probably old enough to have solenoid actuated spin instead of the reversing motor(Ca.1975-80 solid tubs) |

I have a vague idea how old they are but I can't find any info at all. Any guesses? Mixfinder, good to know about the reservoir. I'll have to hook up the hose and test it before I drag it into the laundry room. |

I am guessing, mid 70's, somewhere in the model year change, the knobs aren't all the same, on either model, the timer knob style on the washer tells me 76 to 79, but the watertemp/speed/level knobs tell me 70 to 75....and theres a mix on the dryer too!
but who cares......freakin beautiful.....wait until you see it fill.....I love the bubble/aireated fill, these might be reversing motor design.......you have to do a video what the hell is there not to love about the whole set.....laundry room?......clutch the pearls.....these should be displayed proudly in the kitchen, if not in the living room in front of the TV.....and with lighted panels, D A Y U M ! ! ! |

Is a SQ fab softener the dispenser that sits on the agitator? My kids helped me with the video camera today but its not a very good picture. By the end of the week I hope to have the girls installed and upload a video. |

Well, I think the washer needs a new belt. Smells like it and it quit agitating during the test run. No spin or drain. Off to remove the panels to check it out. Hopefully that's all it is. |

Now I'm not sure. The front belt turns, the one above does not and I did not see the third belt. I'll get the flashlight and check after dinner. It 'whirs' like it wants to go, but only the front belt does anything. |

looks like the lower belt drives the pump while the 2nd,upper groove on the pump's pulley has a belt that drives the transmission for agitation. the 3rd belt (on the fluid clutch) only runs when the motor reverses for spin.Seems that a belt is loose or oily and is slipping. |
