Leslie 145 Speaker with 1961Hammond M3 Test
Recently acquired this Leslie 145 and wanted to see what it looked like inside. Has a bit more distortion than I like so was checking that out. It's connected to a (lowly) 1961 Hammond M3.
Overall, the speaker is in super nice shape!

Speed Queen Marathon - Noisy Pulley FIXED

This 1991 Vintage Speed Queen Marathon had a rattling noise under normal operation. It turned out to be a combination of the following: A. The idler pulley bolt was slightly under torqued, allowing a tiny bit of play B. The idler pulley bushing had worked its way about 1/2 way out of the pulley. C. The lubricant on the bolt and bushing was sticky/stiff. Fixed these issues and it's running quiet...

    Thanks, especially for part numbers and alert that pump was discontinued (it used to cost only about $46). My machine looks like yours except that it says "Commercial Heavy Duty Washer" instead of "Marathon". I bought it for $440 in 1990 (approx. $1060 in 2023 dollars). Mine first failed by the machine jamming, then repeatedly shutting down due to overheat protection. I was going to get a new machine but another video showed me front panel removal, and playing with it led to "screaming", smoke and belt breakage as you had. I then found your video. Your supplier was out of used pumps but I found a new one on Ebay for $175 (expensive, but less than the $300 that some are charging) and got that and the pump belt. It's now working again. It's arguably disappointing that it "only lasted 34 years" because, living alone, I only use it about once a week. I note that my original pump had its front screws about in the middle of the slots while in your video you put them in the loosest position and my new ones are a bit tighter than that so you can see a little of the slots to the right. My theory is that the original belt was too tight and so it "only" lasted 34 years. I'll have to see if the new one is still working in 34 years; I was 34 in 1990, am 68 now and will be 102 in 2058!

    • @Sauls2286
      @Sauls2286 3 місяці тому

      Interesting story! Glad you got your old machine working again! You could be right about the belt being too tight. I guess I figured that after that many years, a plastic part (though heavy duty) is bound to fail. I do wonder if a cheaper pump could be modified to fit these units. If the current one goes out and I'm not able to affordably replace it, I may try!

    If it rusted out in 6 years it more than likely had a cracked glass liner. The reason for that may have happened for a couple of reasons.

    @freespirit1975 5 місяців тому

    Good on Rheem for replacing your water heater even though they were not at fault. This is a good testament to their company. There was probably no rust inside the tank at all. As another comment stated, one of your braided flexable connectors leaked at the rubber gasket. If there is anyone at fault, it is yours for not noticing the leak early on, AND it is Shark Bite for marketing those connectors. I assume it is Shark Bite, though it could be from one of their competitors-I know of at least one. Some advice on the new fitting that you installed-the rubber washers harden and leak after several years. I had two hack "plumbers" whose backs were still wet from their journey to Norte America install them on my new water heater with the blessing of their absent supervising licensed plumber boss. The first one leaked after only two years and I simply tightened it one quarter turn and that stopped the leak. It corroded just like yours did, but not as long and the moisture didn't make it down to my leak detector. The other one began to leak after six years and moisture DID make it down to the leak detector. I bought an inexpensive bag of rubber water heater washers at HD and replaced it. No more leak. The old one had gotten very hard. When the heater was new, I was going to replace those rubber hoses with copper but just when I was about to, the water heater at my parents' house sprung a spraying leak from the sweated copper fitting. So, copper fittings can leak too so I left them on. I watch those rubber connectors like a hawk AND I have a Honeywell leak detector on the wall in my hallway and the detector cord is beside the heater in the drip pan (it's in the attic), which is what alerted me to the leak. I HIGHLY recommend those detectors-they are incredibly sensitive. I also turn off the water when gone more than two days, like vacation. Another thing is, you should buy a sacrificial anode from Rheem online for that heater and install it at 6 years. I just replaced the one in my Rheem Pro gas heater after six years and it could have gone a few more years because it was the thicker diameter version of their PRO series water heater line, but it was still time. I am happy I did it. Definitely replace that anode at no more than five years is my advice.

    The image that you provide at about 0:42 seems to graphically demonstrate that the problem with your water heater was that the connection to the hot water outlet leaked... that there was nothing at all wrong with the heater. You did point out that it was leaking around the rim at the top and that the insulation further down was soaked. Sure! Your leaky connection caused water to drip down into the top of the heater, where it doesn't belong, some of which leaked out at the rim on top and the rest of which caused superficial exterior rust on the tank further down.

    • @JEFFREYHAUGAN

    I'm guessing you're not a plumber lmao Generally I inspect all my water heaters yearly, generally when I turn heat on for the winter for the first time because I'm already there.

      No they are not. The higher end warranty water heaters are the same as the six year, you are just paying for an extended warranty.

      @@JEFFREYHAUGAN I think some of them have an extra anode rod. I think Rheem will stretch the warranty to 10-12 years if you have a professional installer put in an additional anode rod (or, so I've heard.)

      never seen one with two anode rods, but that doesn't mean a manufacturer hasn't done that on an extended warranty water heater. there are also other than the standard household water heaters that they may have done that on. There are some out there which are stainless steel and also which are entirely plastic inside. (the later use an internal heating coil)@@Sauls2286

    It is strange how Google knows your daily moves and thoughts... I just replaced a Rheem water heater from 2016 yesterday and this video shows up today. The burner, the gas valve, the draft motor, were all in excellent condition. The tank started leaking. The warranty was 6 years, so that's gone. Anode rod condition is unknown, but probably would have saved it. I do not know how conducive the water quality was for tank longevity, but the house does have a water softener. Supposedly, a few other common brands of water heaters all come from the same place with different decals installed onto them. What is nice about these consumer brands is that parts are easy to come by when you need them. Ironically, my Bradford white is now 24 years old and working well. I should probably stick another anode rod in it to save it. I've done absolutely nothing to it.
