4 Maytag dependable care washers. One is a glass back slated for a head swap onto an 80s high capacity lower. 2 dryers, a Kenmore gas DD and a wide body Maytag electric glass back. 1 1954 GE fridge DD, a keg o rator a generic fridge and chest freezer and a Kenmore Commercial all fridge destined for a control unit for fermentation and brewing duty. I have a crappy kenmore gas stove DD and a 50s Magic Chef to restore. Lots of smalls as well.
What are your dream machines yet to be found?
Maytag glass back center dial high line with suds saver and a matching gas dryer. A Frigidaire pounder with the high speed spin, a bigger, better frige or frige/freeze, a Maytag gyrator square wringer... and a top coverfor my Dormeyer square blender!
What are your earliest and favorite appliance memories?
My Great grandmothers Maytag wringer, My aunts vacuum with all its chrome trim and someones washer that had a window in front. I think it was probably a slant Westy.
What is the history of appliances you have owned?
Just stuff I stumbled upon here and there. My dad found my 54 GE fridge in the junk pile of an appliance dealer. It was covered in contact paper and ugly as all hell. He called me over and pointed out that the cord wasnt cut, the temp wasnt maxed out and the interior was cleanish and wet, but not a trace of mold or mildew. "You might want to load this, Ill lay odds it works". That was in 2000 and it hasnt missed a lick since. My glass back Maytags were take outs on display at a dealer. The wringer was a roadside score.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any major appliances?
Ive made many repairs on my stuff and for friends.
