I had to reset my password too.

Is there still a way to access the photos of pur members collections? I hope all the great pics of everyone's machines hasn't gone away with the site redesign.

Congrats, Robert. Thank you for all yoir hard work for the past 25 years. I'm so glad you aren't leaving the site and I'm looking forward to all your future videos on Facebook. I hope you enjoy having more free time.

It's an AMP 56-57 which was rhe last year for that design. The helical debuted with the 58 model. One way you can tell it's an AMP from the photo in the POD is the large bolt on the side of the tub. The AMP machines had the inner and outer tubs bolted to each other. Also, you'll notice the lid...

You have an amazing collection! Can't wait to see photos once you have them in your new basement.

I have this same machine in brown. Circa 1962 or 63. I know you'll enjoy it. I believe the official name is shaded coppertone but it looks more like milk chocolate to me.

Sounds like the timer is having a meltdown. You might try cleaning the contacts. If they're dirty you won't get a good connection. Otherwise it may be time for a new timer.

What a great find. I love the red bakelite agitator. Why are the wires hanging from the temp knob? I hope you will do a video of it washing once you get it cleaned up and running.

I miss going to Sears with my Dad on Saturdays. He always shopped for Craftsman tools and lawn supplies and I would go to the appliance department and check out the Kenmore washers. In those days (1960s) they always had two or three models hooked up to water so the salesmen could fully...

Jon, I have the exact model in my kitchen. I got it from someone who was going to throw it on the curb when they were remodeling their kitchen. I rescued it, did a little work on the drain valve, and it's been my daily driver for about 12 years now. I do have one issue that just started a few...

Yiu will enjoy that Norge. I have one from that same era and it is my workhorse. Handles large loads with ease.

That's a cool Westy. Probably the last model with a black agitator before they switched to blue. The long spray rinse does a great job too.

There are three in particular. 1958 Kenmore tineline, a 1956 Hotpoint and a 1958 GE filter-flo 2 cycle with the pink diaL.

A very nice looking Kenmore. I've always loved the late 50's and early 60's models with their multi-colored cycles on the timers.
