Hi everyone,
I recently acquired a couple of new toys, so I must say goodbye to a couple of items (I know, so sad, but there is only so much room).
First on the list is a Whirlpool top loading portable. Some history: I picked this up about 15 years ago. It is model SVP100 from 1970. This model series featured a new control backsplash design and the rare Delco Turbo pump. It also has the temp assured final rinse in the Super Wash & Short Wash cycles. I had to replace the original Delco pump when I first got it due to a shaft seal failure (the shaft seal for this pump is different from the common two piece ceramic seal, and is “delicate” in nature; any foreign material that gets near this seal will damage it). I installed a Power Clean pump as a replacement and it works great (it also uses less water since this pump doesn’t require the same charge as the Delco).
I also had to replace the fluorescent bulb with an LED bulb. The switch to operate the fluorescent bulb broke, and it was a custom sized switch with an extremely short shaft. I was unable to find a switch to replace it that would fit and operate a fluorescent bulb. It works beautifully and looks great! I also added sound insulation to the outside of the tank.
Finally, the cabinet was in rough shape when I got it; I decided to paint it myself a bright shade of blue. It came out OK, but it now has some scratching on the side.
I’m offering this for free; you would just need to arrange transportation. I can work with the various shipping companies if necessary. I’ve used U-Ship recently and it’s worked out very well. Pictures are below (their are a few with dishes to illustrate capacity)
C'mon folks! Someone out there wants this! : ) Let me know!
