Recently you may or may not have noticed a thread Robert put up here, called "Tonight I am Heartbroken." It outlined that someone had went into the VCCC website (Vacuumland.org) through a back door, signed up under 2 fake usernames, and posted the same (horrible) message to 25 different threads...

Every machine can be conquered! :) Jon, congratulations on finally getting the '55 back in service! What a beautiful machine, and what an accomplishment too on the mechanical work. Keep us posted on the maiden load (with the cabinet on, that is)!

These machines actually spin at the same speed as a full-sized DD, which is 640 RPM. Not really the best move on Whirlpool's part as the narrow tub hurts the extraction ability. The earlier BDs really have the edge there.

"Maybe almost 20 years old" Not even close...more like 30-35!

This was listed once before. Apparently no one bought it...

Just curious, have you tried adding it to some water to see what it does? Does it turn the water grey? I may be going out on a limb here (once again), but could it be that the color has changed and *not* the compound within it?

Very cool, hope someone grabs it! That looks like the original door (note the handle), just a different window.

Very interesting. I saw the report on Fox today which I thought was a bit misleading for the average consumer, as the machine they showed wasn't a machine from 1997-2001 on the recall list, but one that looked closer to 1987. Wonder how many false reports GE will receive from customers who don't...

Hi Mark, I know what you mean about the cleaning ability. You should have seen the bin after I ran it in the back room (which leads to the backyard and gets a LOT of traffic)...nasty! We have a Rainbow which isn't a bad machine, but the Dyson has picked up a lot it has left behind as well...

Jon, awesome news, glad to see it washing away! The chain-drive timer is TRES cool...I didn't know they were like that. I'll have to remember that relay trick you did when I have to change a water valve. Good luck on the remaining restoration work!

This Super forum turns over faster than a Unimatic sometimes Same could be said about the Tucson thread, as well as a lot of threads before Robert implemented the non-archiving. At least I saved my Dyson DC21 thread when I did.

Joe You read my mind! LOL

Woohoo! Mark, glad you finally took the plunge on a new DC21, and I can't think of a better person to buy it from either! I talked to him on the phone this afternoon and he mentioned that you came in and bought one. I have to say, his knowledge of all makes and models of cleaners, not just...

At least we won't have to worry about him running for President now (remember that old thread?).

HE? H-EEEEEK! Couldn't you have just settled for some Fresh Start? ;-) *ducks and runs*
