    Coppertone 1967/68 Kenmore electric dryer

    I saw this set, in Coppertone, at an estate sale many years ago.  That was a time when machines & sets like these were not infrequently stumbled upon.  I admired them, they are cool, and filed them away in memory.  Now, however, I'd smack down the money and run fetch the dolly.

    Westinghouse Portable DW

    I had this exact machine - found at a thrift store in 1991 or so.  It was missing the black cycle indicator ring on the control knob, but I marked a notch for "off" at the end of the dry period and just turned the knob slightly to start the machine.  It cleaned beautifully and I used it for a...

    My first Wash-IN

        What a fun collection you have, a little taste of all the "majors".     Thanks for sharing the sights and enjoyment with us, brings back memories of my first visit to Robert's 20+ years ago.

    Wanted: early '70s Hotpoint dishwasher!

        We've seen a few of these come up over the years from this same era - early 70's.   My aunt in KC had the HP in pic #1-2, always loved the sound of the water swishing when it was running and the scents of vinyl/porcelain/chlorine/bakelite when finished.  Reputed to be a positively pathetic...

    New Frigidaire Disposal

        The great disposer debate...   Ralph, I use my disposer much like what you've described your sister's usage is.     When my just-out-of-warranty 3.25 year old ISE Badger (with SS grind components) started leaking, I shopped all of the ISE/Moen/Cheap-China models out there.  Intending...

    Maytag 906 set

        Very nice looking set, welcome to the ease and convenience of pushbutton living! Does the washer cut out in spin, particularly while draining?  Sounds like a good going through both machines will do the trick to make them daily drivers.  Congrats.

    Apex Wash-a-Matic re-Restoration and Full Cycle Video

        I was already a quiet machine, it must be nearly silent now.     What an excellent job, congrats on another great washer renewed.

    Free Standard Capacity LAT Maytag

        Nice freebie, these standard tub orbital washers are really good performers.  I could use a large capacity white tub, have been keeping my eye out for one but haven't had a lot of time to hunt lately.

    FREE Speed Queen

    Don't take my wringer washer!     I've seen a handful of these SQ washers for sale around here, likely for the reasons we can all surmise.  A couple of them have been in rural areas, I can only imagine the disaster that washer could create with a big load of muddy, greasy cover-alls at...

    Avocado Whirlpools.

        They do look really nice - love those blue Super Surgilators.   Other listings from same seller show Dearborn, MI.

    The Clamshell - washing again!

        Very nice work, as always, Ben.  You are right about the engineering of that panel, it's a marvel.

    KitchenAid found!

        That's a fun one to find, hurricane in a box.  Lucky to get the panels NIB as well, do you know why it was never installed?

    JCP dryer

        All GE by this point, JCP had a long relationship with Hotpoint prior to (these) machines so GE had an "in".

    My New Sewing Machine

        Bernina's Record series (7xx,8xx,9xx) were some of their best and still sought-after by many.   Bernina still supports these machines, though only through dealers for access to parts & service.  Like Miele, parts outside of the Bernina networks can be hard to come by and a few have been...

    First line dried laundry of 2022

        The colder the better for good smelling sheets.  Did you use the blue or the lemon Wausau detergent?  :-)   I had to remove all the lines from our T-posts last year after a bad (90mph) windstorm brought down some branches last July.  One snapped one of the five lines so I took the rest...
