I'm looking into my first wringer washer. This one's $75, but it looks too far gone to refurbish... https://charlotte.craigslist.org/atq/d/china-grove-antique-wringer-washer/7159868018.html

I fouund a nice center dial Maytag for sale for $90. Looks like it could use some TLC.[this post was last edited: 6/12/2020-10:31] https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2411239802516372/

They may have been built in 2003, but aside from the control panel design and the hole count on the side of the wash basket, it was the same tried-and-true design as what made it's debut in 1981 as "Design 2000". By 1985, the reliability and wash performance of Design 2000 was proven so good...

With the landscape of today's laundry equipment, I'm beginning to think my pair is truly antique, though they're only 17 years old. In my last post, I mentioned my 2003 Whirlpool set; washer LSR8444LQ0 and dryer LER5620KQ1. As long as I've had them, the only repair was the DD coupling on the...

Around 1983, my aunt Grace had a mystery machine I really liked; all I remember is the lid opened to the left, it had a mint blue agitator with what I called "Heart-Fins"--which was actually half the shape of a heart near the top, and it had a big filter with integrated fabric softener...
