I had such a great time Kevin, thank you for inviting me to be a part of it. Kelly is a real sweetheart, and a great cook, thank you! There were so many great people, and BEAUTIFUL machines, I felt like a kid in a candy store! Robert & Fred thank you for ultimately bringing ALL of us together...

@brian: Washing Early Vacuum Bags... It has been my experience that washing early vacuum bags will simply damage them. The best thing to do if you must wash them is: 1) Vacuum the bag out 2) Soak, (do not agitate) the bag in cold to cool/warm water and VERY mild soap/detergent. 3) spin dry if...

Growing up, we always would Line-Dry our clothes. I used to like to watch the Green Beatles land on the sweet smelling laundry and rest before having to continue their journey in the hot summer day.

I would really like to acquire an early to mid 60's automatic washer and dryer set. Where would be the best place to start my search? I imagine ebay would be costly..
