    I worked for Sears at this time - 81-87.  Good part-time job, decent wages as well as a profit sharing/stock plan.  Full-time sales staff had often been with Sears for decades and were able to retire comfortably with their stock/savings and a moderate pension.  There was a clique of old...

    You really need that Hamilton dryer, too.  

    I have bought these hoses from Costco (& similar offering of quality/price at Sam's club) for years now.  I have a 1/2 acre yard and need the 100' length for most any purpose.  I have two, front and back, and replace one each year.  Bought a 10' high-pressure (washer supply) hose for the...

    I prefer the 29" WP top-filter design to most others.  I have both top and front-filter versions (and a couple of perforated back models) and when drying large and bulky items, the 29" dryer completes the cycle without balling and rolling items.  I've been using a WP Mark XII 30k BTU and...

What a lineup!  I'll always swoon for a Penta-Swirl, love those agitators.    I don't do a lot of pre-soaking anymore, but Axion was always my favorite product to use.  The scent was really clean and bright.

    Growing up, I knew several families that had wringer washers and swore up and down that they cleaned so much better than the newfangled ones.   Greasy and dirty coveralls, overalls, etc. could wash until they were clean.  When my grandmother washed those things in her Highlander, she'd...

KA Pro 600 in copper     Picked this up on Craigslist last fall.  Tore it all down, rebuilt, cleaned and cleaned.  It shined up like a new penny.  Yup, it's real copper(plating).  I lusted after these and the earlier Custom Metallic version so when it popped up, I jumped.  

Mine looks to be similar size, fits perfectly into my Hobart KA 5 qt. bowl-lift.  Whipping egg whites is magical in the copper bowl.  The best angel food cakes, ever.   I found a newer Pro 600 in Copper on CL a while back, swept away by the gleam, I figured I'd be less than happy with the...

    Another top-notch restoration. These machines are just stunning, I remember them as a kid at my mom's aunt's house - the lighted panels were breathtaking to a little washer-obsessed boy, surrounded by low-end GE and Maytag Highlanders. Congrats on a job very well done, your talents for...

  Just an incredible pair, such nice condition all around.  Congrats on the great find!

    The Super Fast dryer was a new introduction for 1956-57;  larger capacity, higher heating ratings (up to 8000W electric, 33,000 BTU gas) and nearly double the airflow of 200 Cu Ft/min.  This new model was the first of Bendix to require a 4" vent.   Previous "Fluff & Tumble" dryer models...

    Pretty!    

    Thanks, again, Louis.  Always enjoy seeing the kitchens and appliances from the day.  When I was in high school, I used to sit at the public library downtown paging through the home magazines from all over and was always excited to see the sleek European designs and modern rooms in...

    Excellent work - they look great.  When paging through the pics, I got to #9 and did a double-take - wait, what??  Lol.  Love the green, I always like the black panels on this era of machines.

  I've tried the Amway Queen, Wonder Ware (mom has a set of this she bought in '67) Montgomery Wards, Sears etc.   Ecko, West Bend & Regal made many of these in lots of variations for different sellers' brands.  Many will work on induction, but sensors on ranges vary so it can be hit and miss...

    My grandfather's sister, Rose, had this washer (in white).  She grew violets under lights in the basement so when visiting, we always had to take a tour.  This was the first GE FF I saw with the flume at 12 o'clock.  She also had a wringer washer (Maytag, I believe) and the GE saw little...

    Looks like a gold KitchenAid? dishwasher is still there.    Range looks lightly used, usually the glass plates are discolored and/or stained.  I had a friend in high school that had a single oven Tappan slide-in version with this same cooktop.  They hated that range, slow and impossible...

    What a great find, congrats.  I've had a couple of Westy top loads, both newer than yours but they did an admirable job of cleaning and rinsing was accomplished with copious amounts of water in a long spray rinse and a (2nd) deep rinse.  

Blue Monday GE     I'd love it for just the agitator cap.
