I replaced my 1960s Frigidair clothes washer some time back and took the
old one apart for parts. I am down to the tub assembly and can't figure
out how to separate the inner spinning basket from the fixed tub. Ideas?

you not gonna get much in parts from a 1960 washer that can be used in a
current washer.... i tried this with an old 1972 washer that was
replaced in 1999 and found out that all the parts were different that
the new washer that we had.. the only thing that i think i kept were
some screws, the motor and the timer...

Never considered using parts on another washer. he motor will go to a future
project, the case to another, the drive shaft is a free piece of steel rod,
etc. The basket and tub may have possibilities maing a casting furnace.
