Hi everyone! As you may already know, about a year ago, I bought Cinderella, my 1978 Maytag A-208 washer with the matching DE-408 Stream Of Heat electric dryer. (Best 50 bucks I ever spent.). I worked on the dryer right away, but I still have more to do before I’m done. (That’s next on the list.). However, I didn’t start working on the washer until about 4 months ago. I just got done with the wet test without the tub cover, and it was a pass. Here are a few before and after pictures of her. I’ll start with the before.
Thanks, Thatwasherguy. |

Thank you all for the compliments! They are much appreciated! It means a lot after spending this much time and effort on a machine.
I’ve decided to include a few photos of the various products I used in the restoration for anyone that wonders what I used. Thanks, Thatwasherguy. |
