I am coming to the realization that I would rather have my back room be a master bedroom than a warehouse.

This is as-is and seems to be in good shape. The boot is intact and flexible. The soap dispenser gasket as looks good. There's some surface rust at the bottom sides inside. The bottom cover has rust, under the machine. The drum turns clockwise fine. It seems to make a scraping noise. I think the pulley might be rubbing behind, since the noise changes as if it hits a spoke. Couter-clockwise is much harder.

This is in my garage. No steps involved. $450

I am not sure if I can get behind it to investigate the rubbing noise. I sure can't move it. It's got me outweighed.

It seems like there's something in the outer tub that is interfering. I took the back off and I don't see any problem.

I removed the rear cover.  It's an inconsistent rubbing noise if you turn the drum.  It sound more like something is in the outer tub.

Nice machine Travis, this is actually the 58 model, these were diffidently the best all around combos of the 50s if not of all time.

 

It looks like it is in pretty good shape.

Thank you John.  I couldn't remember.  It's pretty sexy looking.  I like the Maytag better though.

Chris,

I have a verbal commitment from someone to buy Bendix.

All you have to do to get something moved is call movers.
