Not sure if this has been posted before, but here goes. This is an amazing video of a complete restoration of a Maytag automatic (I'm pretty sure it's an A806). As many of you know, my focus for restoration work is 1930s Maytag wringer washers. These automatics are SO much more complicated!

![]() For posting this video. I'll watch it this evening when I have some "me time", but I will say that if the high speed play back is bothersome, I found it was pretty watchable at a playback speed of 0.25.
There's a gear in the lower right. Click it, and then there will be a menu option of "Playback speed" with a number of pre-selected speeds. Try the slowest speed (one quarter or .25). The background music slows down too so you may want to mute that.
BTW, if the video had not been sped up, the running time would have been 2 hours.... |

Great videos, Thanks for posting Brad, ideal to see for repairs and for posterity, and the fact fellow members helped out supplying vital tools to make the job easier is testament to this site.
The fast playback is great , you can PRESS PAUSE or go to the settings symbol on the bottom bar or three dots on top if on phone and SELECT PLAYBACK SPEED and SLOW it down to your own requirements win win ..!! Great job Eugene, heres to many more !! |

I enjoy watching Eugene's videos and have no problem with someone mentioning his business, Lorain Furniture & Appliance, located at 4617 Lorain Avenue in Cleveland, OH, 44102, in a thread on this website.
Quite honestly, I wouldn't be a bit upset if someone posted the phone number for Lorain Furniture & Appliance, (216-939-8718) or even the website address (lorainfurniture.com). Eugene of Lorain Furniture & Appliance even has a fun line of washer-related T-shirts for sale. I purchased the "You're Agitating Me" shirt a couple of months ago, its witty tagline surprisingly appropriate for this post. In addition to selling appliances, Eugene (of Lorain Furniture & Appliance located at 4617 Lorain Avenue in Cleveland, OH) sells parts for vintage machines, which has undoubtedly been helpful to members of the AW family. I see no issue with Eugene--who owns & operates a business called Lorain Furniture & Appliance--charging whatever he chooses for a consultation. Almost forgot: Check out Eugene's YouTube channel! And you can bet your bottom dollar that if I lived anywhere near Beltsville, MD, I would buy appliances from John LeFever, who owns and operates Alco Appliance Sales & Service, located at 10101 Bacon Dr., Unit F, in Beltsville, MD, 20705. Reach him by phone (301-937-6996) or e-mail (Service@alcoappliances.net). There. My work here is done.😁 CLICK HERE TO GO TO Frigilux's LINK |

![]() Funny that several people have noted the speed at which Eugene's video plays back... I have a similar issue with a video I posted years ago about my kitchen renovation project at the house in Ogden. Most people who view it complain about the speed at which it plays back - it did not and still does not play back that quickly when I run the raw version on my PC. Very odd.... |

I do not see any issue here. I am absolutely 100% okay with the way Brad posted the title, if it helps out one of a our members who is in good standing (such as Eugene) on this site then great, glad we could help get traffic to them. That is completely different than someone who finds aw on google and joins to make one or two posts advertising their business and then goes away. I really don't understand why that makes any difference to anyone.

I enjoy the videos of the Whirlpool and Kenmore belt drive washers you uploaded back in 2018. Those videos will certainly help me with my 1963 RCA Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII I acquired back in June of this year and I’d venture to say it is in similar condition to the 1981 Whirlpool belt drive washer Eugene did a partial refurbish on.

I've subscribed to Eugene's channel and really enjoy his videos.
Frankly, just like others have said here I don't see any issues at all with him trying to make a living with what he's doing. Like many have done before, if you want to know how to fix your Maytag, buy a 2nd hand repair manual, the tools and have a go! Cheers Leon |

It’s funny to me how someone that has been a member for less than a month (Sudster member since 10/18/2020) is talking about early AW ideology and calling a member out for posting another members username.
I’ve been a member since 2005 and don’t post here very much but I am on the site all the time reading posts, watching videos and I go to some of those wash-in events. I just want to say Eugene I’m subscribe to your channel and I love your videos and the way you speed up the fill on your videos. Apparently no one has a problem except one random person that has not been a member for a month and has a since apologized, so take what they say with a grain of salt. Keep it up Eugene you’re awesome!! Jeff in Texas |

I may not be too experienced with washers or dryers nor would I call myself an expert. But for someone like Eugene that posts YouTube videos about reviews or repairs (Especially on the older machines) I think knows what they're doing. In fact, I was VERY impressed with the restoration video on the Maytag. I didn't think someone would look at and get everything working right on a washer unless if they are a collector like most people on here and probably Eugene himself. Unfortunately for my sister, she bought a used set from a appliance shop (Probably out of business already) which the seller cleaned up the outside of it really nicely but I'm pretty sure they've never bothered touching the inside of either machine. A few days later, one of the machines already had an issue and I remembered it was really difficult for the seller to come out and fix it up since it had like maybe a 7 or 30 day warranty, something like that. They just acted like they don't really stand behind their work. That's why I wouldn't want to buy a used set, but now that I think of this. I wouldn't hesitate to call either Eugene or someone that does as good of a job as Eugene to buy either a used SQ or a used Kenmore set if I needed to.
Anyways, thanks Eugene for making these awesome videos. I've definitely learned alot from you and you're one of the reasons why I'm looking into getting a SQ TC5 and DC5 for myself. Once in a while whenever I wouldn't have much going on, I would look at some of your other videos. So thanks again for your time and effort. |

Thought I would reach out to him about my Norge this past summer ...my brother lived in that area and I’ve past it before.. I don’t know the guy .. but whoever answered my phone call was extremely RUDE .. would not let me talk ?? Thank GOD FOR RICK he helped me get that Norge movin FOR FREE!! Why would anyone bother with him charges all that money 💰... way to much. This is a unique love of vintage machines and I would say the generous people on this site who go above and beyond helping and sharing the very beautiful stories ... who needs Lorain furniture.. I would not give him a second look 👀 very sad that he didn’t even respond to me? Oh well I know I have lots of help here for free !! Happy holidays and stay safe to all of you I am forever grateful for this site from the days of me picking up empty detergent boxes on my big wheel at age 4 to listening to all my families washers I know I am not the only one with this love.

Nothing pisses me off as a customer in a store than when the phone rings and whomever is assisting me leaves me standing there ignored while they answer questions from the caller. I'm not making this up as made up as it sounds just to say something here, but I have more than once actually gone over and hung the phone up on the salesperson and told them that I was here first with money in my hand and did they want to make a sale or not. I have no problem if they answer the phone and put the person to hold because they're with another customer or that they will call them back later, but to stand there and answer questions, ain't happening.

Who cares if Eugene’s business gets a plug? He’s posting videos showing how to rebuild machines at no charge to the public. Those can be invaluable to someone like me when I’ve got a machine torn apart and I’m stuck on something I’m not sure about.
I’ve always appreciated this group and this website. It’s literally shaped my life. What I hate about it is all of the infighting. How stupid is that? A fellow 806er...

All Eugene is doing is showing you how to repair or rebuild machines and isn’t charging the public like Jon/jons1077 mentioned. The videos Eugene uploaded of the Whirlpool and Kenmore belt drive washers he refurbished will certainly show people how to make repairs to their own Whirlpool or Kenmore belt driven machines and in fact I’ll do the same repairs to my ‘63 Whirlpool as he did to the 1978 Kenmore 70 series and 1981 Whirlpool belt drive washer back in 2018 : )

![]() I know I can do this all on my own, but choose not to. And I know I learn a little bit from everyone here even newbies to the hobby- so that must be true for you the reader as well. So why all the anger out of nowhere? Anger is used too much these days it's time to end. If you are not happy the Universe is a big big place, step aside. If you have a point to make make it nicely. I have not dealt directly with : Eugene at Lorain Furniture & Appliance, located at 4617 Lorain Avenue in Cleveland, OH, 44102 (216-939-8718) But I enjoy his work, and believe me people even small videos are a lot of work to get out there! : So his videos are an act of love!
I have dealt with Mother Superior over at Alco Appliance Sales & Service, located at 10101 Bacon Dr., Unit F, in Beltsville, MD, 20705 301-937-6996 Service@alcoappliances.net
I have bought a few machines from him , although a bit fly by night his operation is semi-stable. There is a lot of machines coming and going and disappearing when you least expect it. Be careful what he pushes on you, you could get stuck reworking the same Combo for oh 30+ years??

![]() Seriously, can't we save the drama for the Collectors' Club Which Must Not Be Named and keep the enjoyment for ours? 1) Personal vendettas (and this clearly, clearly is one) are for The Collectors' Club which must not be Named, not here! 2) Eugene does great work, I love his videos and I learn from him. 3) I, too, am self-employed. I'm generous with my knowledge, such as it is, but Eugene is cheap compared to me when it comes to telephone consultations - one should be thankful to have such an outstanding resource! 4) Robert has spoken, the matter is ended.

This is not the time to point out anyone’s short comings, or how someone runs there business. We all live in different parts of the universe and come from different backgrounds. I have always received nothing but positive responses and advice from everyone on here. I can’t understand why someone would come on here and spread anger for no reason it’s not fair, when someone is generous enough to make videos and share there machines with us. This world is not free and Eugene is in a business to make money and if you don’t like that then take your business elsewhere.

![]() A Franklin?? Indeed, Well I never got to play with one of those, better put my mask on and head south ! However the only way a Franklin part is ever gonna mate up with a GM Agitub is with the use of a very large 5 pound persuader ( see hammer).
Mickeyd I do know for a fact he was hoarding parts off a GM Agitub at the Farm so they are somewhere in Beltsville for sure.

Nothing new to add except more love for Eugene, hope the negativity from one doesn't stop the YT vids or your helpful posts here on the board.
It can be difficult to find the services and parts you need, a basic google search isn't always helpful when you have such specific details as you do when dealing with machines that are more or less Dinosaurs to the current consumer base. The more posts with contact links to contracted repair persons or enthusiasts that collect enough to re-sell parts and machines is a good thing I think. It keeps the community thriving on top of what this forum already does in general with it's invaluable knowledge base and general cheerleader attitude towards members, new and old, that post their machines and projects. |

Mother Superior John Combination Washer Dryer Le Fevre said that he's looking for some sort of Dodge Van that costs $25,000, and if I could help with that he would give me the fully operational GM Frigi Agitub Skinny-Mini he has on the premises at the Museum. He sure knows how to drive a hard bargain. I intend to trick him with S&H Green Stamp books and enlarged Monopoly Money, while distracting him with long conversations about his favorite topic--SEX !!! LOL.

Listen man .. I am not here to argue with you ... the world is in a pandemic right now.. I Don’t know you ..you don’t know me .. YOUR response on this thread was just as rude as your answer on the phone .. Maybe you’re working too much. I don’t know but I’ve had very very nice responses from others on this website that doesn’t cost a penny. I will pray that you will learn how to be kind and answer in a kind manner I was not trying to tell you my life story .. I was trying to explain to you what was wrong with the machine you did not tell me on the phone and you had a customer there either.. but really I don’t care I know in my mind not to watch your YouTube videos or to ever come to you for help. Maybe you can hire some people at your business to have a question and answer line? I don’t know.. Stay safe and happy holidays ,: I’m done responding I have nothing else to say it is what it is.

![]() Speaking as someone who runs their own business - I hear you. Never discount the amount of goodwill you have from virtually the entire group of us here. The few malcontents are as likely to be unhappy that someone as cute as you doesn't play for our team as about anything else.
I love your videos and your take on working with machinery! I also love that your have balls to stand up to the Speed Queen nonsense of the past few years. |

all customers can make you happy....
some by coming in and by phone.... and some by never bothering you ever again.... COUNT IT AS A BLESSING!!! if Caller ID's would tell you the 'type' of person you would be dealing with along with the phone number/name.....life would be so much easier.....and times your thankful for answering machines! |

![]() That is so true.
I learned early on that these are going to be the easy customers: Older women. Men who practice a trade.
These are the customers to avoid: "You can only carry out the work when I am there and I will be supervising you." "You want how much for, what, 20 minutes easy work? If I could get anyone else, why, I'm going to tell XXX (name of person who recommended me) about you! - Be there tomorrow promptly at 9! "I expect you to start work no later than 6am and that's a concession to your big-city ways, never mind that I live 120 miles away on dirt roads."
All customers make us happy. Some, when they enter our shop, some when they leave. |

Wow! Save the drama for your mama. Although this has been a morbidly entertaining thread, I find it trivial and quite unnecessary. I have always respected nearly all the folks that engage here and when I see threads like this it’s like fingernails on a chalkboard. Hopefully my post will be the last to this thread and we can move on to more positive and enlightening subjects.
