Dick, You just ask any ol' question you feel like. I shoot my mouth off all the time here and nobody has swooned yet. Or been nasty. Well, not *too* nasty. I wish I could help you, but know next to nothing about these machines. Somebody here will, I am sure of it - and if nobody does, well, tell you what - there are lots of Internet sites with good diagnostics you can follow. I'll be happy to send them on to you. But its 10 to 1 there will be a few useful posts before the day is out. Keven |

You did well for yourself Grasshopper. You're on to the next phase of washing machine restoration (and the Kenmore looks good too). |

Holy Sweet Jesus! What an amazing shot! The machine is so cool and I love to watch white laundry drift up and roll over without a lot of suds. I am a sucker for a white load. Kelly |

Great job Dick! Glad you got this one finished. It just looks wonderful Roto-Swirling away. I just love the early Kenmores! I am working on my 56 Kenmore also. It is torn down to pieces as we speak. Mine was hauled out of a junkyard,and had a leaky car battery sitting on the console for years. So it got an acid bath,along with sitting outside for years. So it is not in as good of condition as yours. LOL!! |

Dick, congratulations. I"m so very impressed. And now that I actually know you, the victory is even sweeter for me & my celebration of it. I got curious about what all was in your collection this morning and decided to trip down memory lane, it hd been a while. Of course, this was the very 1st posting and I wondered, wonder what happened to this Cycla-Fabric? And from now on, don't hesitate to as questions, you're just as important here as everyone else.!! |

Do you stand slightly to the right side and just turn to load the '59/60 dryer with the freshly spun whites? Hope to attend another mini wash in some time! Darrel |

Whaddya mean "No Mechanical Ability?!" Congrats on your restoration of a very cool Kenmore. And don't hesitate to ask questions; Even though I couldn't restore a washer given a map and a genius robot, I ask questions all the time. The guys here with restoration experience are more than happy to help a fellow traveller.
