Jim your account of the affect the washing machine had on your radio reminded me of a similar incident I had once on a TV repair at a customer’s home. This was an old Zenith round tube color set in an older home. I fixed the original complaint but then noticed the picture kept changing in both width and height in a consistent rhythm, like watching a heart beating. Turned out it was instep with the washing machine while agitating. As soon as it stopped, the tv was normal. Crazy thing is the customer was use to that happening anytime they ran their washer that it wasn’t even a concern! Must have been a case of too many things on the same circuit!
