Have you considered equipping a Maytag with a Hotpoint 'Filter Fountain' agitator?   lawrence

Melvin, It does seem to be calling 'Melvin'....   lawrence

I believe this one is a single-speed 1959 in Turquoise Green.  Model WA-650.  This one is the same model as the one that turned up a while back at an antique store in Western GA, and was purchased by a member in OH.  It has 2 cycles, choice of hot, warm, or cold wash temp, choice of warm or cold...

This bedroom had to be for 'The Love Goddess' a.k.a. Judy Tenuta. lawrence

I have this same photo in a refrigerator magnet, but with a different message.  I like the message on my magnet better.   lawrence

Built in 1968 That's  a very busy house, occupied by very busy people.  What's amazing is not that it was built at the height of 'Avocado Popularity' but that it has been maintained with the same look over all of the years.   It would be fun to walk through the house during the sale.   lawrence

A whole lot of vibrating going on... How cool is that!?!?!   lawrence

This dryer reminds me of a washing machine that my grandmother had.  She worked at Sears and in the early summer of 1959 she moved and bought a new washing machine.  I'm thinking that the washer console was very similar with the arrangement and the colors.  She used that washer until 1974 when...

The turquoise spacemates The data plate indicates that these are Canadian versions, is that why the washer door is side-hinges instead of drop-down (aka weigh-to-save)?   lawrence

Gregory, I can't say for sure, but I'm thinking this is probably a 1952 model.  Looks like it's really good at generating frost - and rust.  TLC will take care of the rust and new gaskets will go a long way towards slowing down the formation of frost.   Congratulations on your $40 toy!  ...

Phil, After avocado replaced turquoise, harvest gold replaced yellow.  HG was introduced in the spring of 1968, but I'm not certain when yellow really disappeared and if remained available until the HG introduction.  The color palette remained stable until the 1977 models came out and GE...

$20 for that GE range - wow!   lawrence

Robert, This is just awesome!  What an achievement, for each item.  I love the fire engine red scrubber cap in the pink Kenmore - sexy!   I know of one 1958 Filter-flo that now resides in Texas that needs the appropriate Activator cap.  Hopefully Melvin will grab one from you.  ...

That's sad That ad for Dash is one of my all-time favorites.  I just love the model's expression, hair style and makeup.  It all makes for the perfect 'Mod' look of the period.   At least now I know who the model is and something of her life and of her passing.   lawrence

What a fantastic clean-up!  Congratulations on your new toys.   lawrence

The refrigerator appears to be a 1966 model (TBF-16S), which was the last year for Turquoise Green (and wasn't even offered for the full year, being replaced in April by Avocado).  The Americana range (J772) could be the same year or earlier.   lawrence

Robert That's an amazing find!  And it shines just as new.  Congratulations on your newest toy.   One question about it; yours opens to the rear, in Greg's photos his opens to the left.  Are they not the same model/year?  Is it possible to change the hinge position by rotating the top (there...

Beautiful and well-preserved!   lawrence

Is this one that shows up as a POD occasionally in an advertisement that basically says 'You can go for this or you can go for that'?  The two washers appear at first glance to be identical, but one does offer the Rapid spin and the other does not.   lawrence
