Roto204, when I bought my Kenmore 24" DD portable and Whirlpool 110v dryer, I drove home 30 miles with both of them in an Oldsmobile 98. The dryer was in the trunk with the lid tied down and the washer was in the front seat with me. It was so tight that I had to roll the front door window down...

This type machine I have to say that I bet these machines are much harder on clothes than a regular top loader. A Shredmore packed to the top on the lowest water setting is kind of the idea. I feel like the tub size is deceptive, and I don't like that this will be the dominant top loader in...

To add to what NorfolkSouthern said, notice the lack of DD Wirlpools in that lot of stuff. There's a Neptune and Atlantis, neither of which sold in the numbers or as early as DD Whirlpool and Kenmore, but none of those are there. They get no respect, but everybody or their mom has one, and they...

Now that's humor I guess they've got to get around the erotic services ad ban somehow. It's akin to the "man seeking woman with inheritance, dog, pickup truck, and boat. Please send picture of boat."

Odd electrical standards I think that it's far funnier that the rest of the world has uniform power with 17 different plugs than having the US and a few others using 110v instead of 220. I remember reading once that schools in the USSR had 44v systems anywhere that the students could come in...

That's perfect That's exactly the set of stuff I was hoping for. I've looked around, but I've not seen a deluxe machine that cheap. Around here, it's easy to find Estates and Ropers for about $100, but a fancier one could easily top $200. I also don't have a pickup truck or a place to...

Shipping. Matt, I'm not allergic to paying for shipping. I don't even mind paying for parts. I just feel like some of the people on eBay are parting out a worn-out washer and getting enough money to buy a brand new one if they're patient enough. Good for them, but not so for me. I noticed that...

Polarization Turquoisedude, I always thought that the big one was the neutral lead.

Cool idea, but a couple of questions: 1: Are you sure that the digital Lady K is a 2-speed? If so, then I don't need to change the motor. I believe that the "Special/Limited (not sure) Edition" that I had to trash in 2003 was a 3-speed. 2: If I change to the digital panel, then I don't need to...

I was on a personal leave day today, so I thought I would go around a few places and try to scavenge some of the parts that I need to make my portable into a "Series 90." The features that I'm interested in adding are the ones that would make my portable more like my stored UCII. I refuse to rob...

Portable & Weather I think it's kind of funny the affection that people around here have for portables (dish and clothes washers). They're expensive to buy new, they turn cheap when sold used, and then the collectors here have a lot of affection for them later. Good luck with the portable...

I saw a set when I bought my big washer in 2003. They weren't cheap enough to make it worth it! The panel was brown plastic with black knobs over the white appliances. Each only cost about $30 less than the lowest Kenmore, which had white panels and grey knobs. I felt like they made them look...

I always just lick my fingers and touch the leads. I've found that if my skin isn't at least a little bit wet, that the first jolt isn't enough and they still bite the second or even third time. I once took apart a camera flash, thinking that something that runs on 4 AA batteries couldn't shock...

Beagle-chow? Now that's a mix that I've never seen before. "Scruffy" could be a really pretty cat but probably wouldn't tolerate what it took. All it would really take is some brushing. Buddy and Susie look like typical terrier trouble! My parents' dogs are Buddy and Sadie. Funny how stuff...

Plenty of great fuzzy buddies! Artey is great. I've always thought that bull terriers were so ugly they're cute. I've seen brindle ones and white ones, but never one quite like that before. Chewing forearms isn't a good habit, though. Zephyr is a cute kitty. My auntie has one that looks like...

English instructions Is the lid a replacement? It has instructions in English on the bottom.

That is some cool stuff. I've never seen a set with paneling on it before. The other old Whirlpool BD on here right now doesn't necessarily betray its age the way these do. Groovy. Really happenin' in a far out way...

Brick Top FTW! If only it worked that way, I would be the best repair man in the world. Computers, cars, appliances, whatever.

Someone said something about starting a pet thread, but didn't do it. I thought I would go ahead and do one. This is Riley, my Jack Russell. She was about a year old when a friend of mine gave her to me. She had already had about 4 frustrated owners before that. She's about 6 now, and is the...

No, it's 2 speeds. It's a good and trouble-free machine for the most part. Its agitation on heavy duty is like the first two minutes of my portable on Cotton/Sturdy.
