Just picked up an ABC wringer washing machine today. Actually in decent condition. It's so nice the lid looks like it doesn't have a ding in it, but has some rust around the edges. The motor sounds very smooth, all parts are there and intact. It will take some cleaning and painting to make it...

Gone Someone else got them. Hope they have a good home now.

NFSouthern, thanks for your comments. I sent them email earlier today, haven't heard back yet. The partial address they mention is tantalizing. It's not far. I think I could go there and start knocking on peoples doors. I guess it would be a race to see if I could find the right house before...

I left a message for them today. Haven't heard anything. At least the ad is still up if that means anything.

I'm not familiar with the washer and don't know what all the excitement is about. Besides the above comments I know others think it's a good machine too. I just wrote to ask if they are still available. I hope parts aren't a problem. I can only accept this as a replacement for a newer washer I...

Wow what a setup, the Maytags are beautiful.

I think it's crate and freight ship. $500 seems to me on the high end. Crating and trucking terminal delivery is within what I can accomplish and some partial disassembly might be useful. They didn't post any pics of it. I'm going over Monday morning to see it and I'll take photos. The lady...

Just noticed it on Craigslist in Portland OR. I await their reply to go look. They were going to use it as a drinks cooler and say it's in perfect and working condition. They also say it's a 40's model with a wringer. I have about enough machines now, so I'll consider this more a rescue...

Hi, I just bought an old Fowler electric dryer the drum of which has almost no finish left. Does anyone re-enamel these at reasonable cost? Also does anyone know if it's possible to have wringer rollers refurbished? What would be the term for this? Re-rubberize? Does anyone in the world...

Forgot to thank Steve1-18 for the link.

That top-loading dryer looks very nice. I remember seeing a top loading dryer at a friend's house (in Oregon mid 60's) but don't remember the brand name. It seems to me the drum orientation was as most all dryers here. I know there's a term to describe the rotational orientation but it escapes...

Ah ha. Well then here's another.....there's also a third foto showing all the owners manual, misc. papers, maybe even the sales receipt.

Looks like the jpeg photo might not have loaded, I'll just try it again...

Ok here's pics from the ad. I'm going over tomorrow to buy it. Hopefully get it for less than the $75 they are asking. (Oregonian ad) Very interesting, it looks like the one in the ad is earlier than mine, which is front loading. I wonder if it has the Black Heat, never-burn-out elements...

Fowler Manufacturing Co. Does anyone know where I could find information on these machines? Specifically, I just saw one for sale, looks perfect, so I was interested. Nice glass door. They say it has humidity controlled drying, variable heat setting, and works great. Built in Portland Oregon...
