11:32 rue_house the old kenmore (and rebrands) basically never wore out
11:32 rue_house you can bet the new ones have designed obsilescence

11:42 rue_house I think I can get you one with an actual motorized wringer
11:42 Tom_itx this one has one of those pancake motors under it
11:43 rue_house maybe measure up the bearings and replace them with some quality ones
11:43 Tom_itx i'll get the 'kit' the first time since it has the bearing press with it
11:44 Tom_itx i could make one...
