Thanks to a slight nudge from John L., I was coaxed into saving these machines. These are my first coppertone appliances. An elderly lady purchased these in June of 1965 and they remained in the same home until today. She passed away a few months ago so her granddaughter is struggling with parting ways eith the contents of her home. These held high sentimental value and she is so happy to know they will be restored and preserved.
The motor hums but no action. Agitator has a very sluggish feeling so I believe gear oil is gummed up and the belt snapped. Beautifully cared for set and will be fun to have these working again! She held onto the original receipts and booklets for now but I feel confident I’ll convince her to pass those over to me as well. | ||
