slightly off-topic I am hoping fitcoils and I can work something out, but need some advice too. I am looking to round out my 70's washers collection. I have a Center dial Maytag 608, a 77 GE Filter flo, and a 1960 Whirlpool (much older but same overall engineering with the neutral drain and wig-wag transmission.) So if I get this 1-18, that's 4 different washers representing 6 main brands( Kenmore WP being sisters, GE owning Hotpoint.)
What other automatics were still available in the US in the 70's? I believe Norge was over, as were Bendix/Philco, Easy. Is Westinghouse the next best selling brand from the 70's, after Kenmore/Whirpool, GE/Hotpoint, Maytag, and Frigidaire? I only have so much basement space and so much budget, and I'm looking to have one representative machine of each of the best sellers of the era. | ||

if you don't sell it
i am also interested. i have a 1-18 already that i rebuilt 2 years ago and it works great! but i would like one more, not concerned about rust etc. i have extra clutch pads i bought 3 years ago for my rollermatics and they are the same as the 1-18 uses.
in cincinnati, could pick up and pay anytime! thanks! | ||

GET THE NORGE Mark I am with Michael on this the Norge is much more fun than the Westinghouse TL washer. But the other one to consider is a WH 3 belt FL washer from the 1970s- 1988. The Norge TL and the WH TL washers are both a pain in the neck to do major repairs on. Try to get ones that don't need major repairs and then don't use them much. | ||

more on list I'll gladly add a Norge and 3belt FL Westinghouse to my list, I was at lest ten years off in thinking they weren't available in the 70's. But for right now, the 1-18 tops my list of wants, Mom had one in 73 that we sold with the house in 79, nostalgia working here. And it was green, like fitcoils' one. I'm keeping fingers crossed here. | ||

Mark.......your funny!....space issue?.....we all have space issues, thats why I have 50 machines......somebody shoot me!, if my partner doesn't beat you to it!...lol
I don't see you having a Speed Queen in your collection anywhere.....tap, tap, tap!!!....and maybe a portable or two, you could hide this in that wasted space you call a bathroom or closet....or a TwinTub..... While were at it....lets convert somethings in your kitchen, like a 40 inch or Flair stove...a single door fridge....a top load dishwasher.....sunbeam mixmaster, and a chrome toaster next to the electric frypan.......see all this open space for vintage machines you have now....... just messing with you Mark....your already hooked....we'll get you there eventually hey just think....we could suspend a portable dryer from the rafters in your basement......also, at least with a Westinghouse FL, they can stack.... | ||

but here's a disappointment 1982 Hotpoint dishwasher. Runs well, was green and protable when I bought the house. I repainted it, made it a new counter and shelves, but it's not a real gem.
I'm just joking you, Martin---but the kitchen is pretty cool. I worked from top down, I think now the new floor will wait until after Thanksgiving. My family thinks I'm a slob, it doesn't bother them. My boyfriend knows I'm a slob, it does bother him

and Martin---for Speed queen, I do have 2 wringer washers, the late 40's one works and has a pump (stolen from a mid-60-s one with bad motor, bad rollers, etc.) And I have an Easy Spindrier and a Hoover 0519 twinnie, I'm sort of set on the pre-automatic era. I need to get me that 1-18, then a Norge and a 3 belt Westinghouse frontloader. Then, I'll be out of space for sure.
You are the GE FF expert. Am I gonna find this 1-18 knocks it out of the balpark? | ||

I stand corrected......you are on your way.....lol.....we all have projects were working on, someday to be complete....it will happen, hang in there
you haven't experienced anything until you see a solid tub SQ, banging solenoids, aireated fill, and overflo rinsing......heaven the GE FF and the 1-18...2 superb machines, each one with their own uniqueness....but the 1-18 is definately a "have to have, can't live another day without!" I can't wait until you experience it for yourself........it's all in the WOW factor....I don't even know where to start---the circle spray, that rollermatic mechanism, the powerful pump out in low speed, and then shift to high, even a heavy load will rollover in the slower speed agitation...and clear rinsing...I could go on and on.... to get the most out of it....watch Robert's video on proper loading by quadrants.... and Ben's video, on exact water level to match the load, makes all the difference in the world....... and see Pete for repair and parts info....... thanks goes to all three, and many others, for their instructions......another machine I watch thru the entire cycle in amazement!......you will too!..... | ||

It's home This fun machine is now home, waiting in the garage since it's already dark out and Halloween kids are around, tomorrow down to the basement. Bill fitcoils was very helpful and explained what he'd already repaired and checked, how to finish the job with the tub seal gasket and oil bellows, I got a great lesson from a polite and informative guy.
The bottom inch or so of the cabinet is pretty rough on all four sides, pics will follow first of the rebuild, then of the re-paint. Thank God I'm colorblind, this yellow is horrid! With the cabinet being this rough and needing reinforcement all around the base, it fortunately allows me to think about a completely new color.
All in all, a good vist with a good guy, a good machine, and a safe trip, now I'm pooped. | ||
