Not a Barton First, the wringer column on the Ward's is massive, while the Barton's is narrow and on the opposite side--when did a brand ever switch wringer sides? Second, the Barton has a really wide control panel, and the knobbed levers are far apart, while the Ward's is narrower. If the...

Hello Glenn Looks like a Montgomery Wards Signature. One model featured a Fill 'n Drain hose that was enormous, long and wide like a flattened fire hose that wrapped around the machine. OR, the Western Auto version whole name I've forgotten. Machines very very similar. I have the Wards with a...

Hi Zack, trying to reach you--can't find the pushbuttoneer, (smiles). Get in touch when you're able. Thanks Not sure who the guy in the pic above is. This is me, surrounded by a few really famous members: the webmaster, Robert, on the far left; in the middle is Michael, Chestermike of...

My beloved late mother Geraldine said I reached up for her Frigidaire WO-65 before I could walk or talk. Loved washers my whole long life, found this place in 2006 on New Years Day. Before that, I knew NO ONE who loved washers they way I did. Now, we are legion, (laughs)! Like Maytags, the...

Maybe if our Fred, the Blackstone Czar, (smile), comes around, he'll comment. The machines were made in Jamestown, NY, seventy miles from Buffalo where I live. There were Blackstones all over this area. They are powerful, reliable workhorses. I have the Royalist Automatic and the 330p Wringer...

Early Pushbutton Model Not much said about it, tho, in the booklet

FROM :'D `

The Blackstone works perfectly, even the timer which has failed on a few other machines after continued outdoor washing. So is the Michigan machine on eBay or Criagslist? About the Pushbutton timers on WP/KM Conventionals. Circa 1960, on its Automatic Lady K, Kenmore delighted us with an all...

Didn't see post 6. Thanks. Let me know more, if you decide not to buy.

That newly posted beauty is indeed from the 50's, Mid to Late, and it is in incredible condition for being nearly 65 years old. There are so many Visimatics on Ebay all the time, the best ones often going quickly, but the gem in post number one is not among them. Of course it's yours, but...

That's a beautiful Version of the Classic Maytag-- the lettering, the color--AHHHH. Don't really know about parts for the WP/KM's though. Repair Clinic comes to mind. Believe other members know of a very few other remaining parts sources. Where is this machine?

Sometimes life is truly miraculous ~ Hello Zachary! Haven't tuned in in a month of Sundays, and you popped up just as I logged on. I see you're a newbie. A warm welcome. For a Visimatic lover like me, this a a very rare dream machine. It hails from the late 50's--7, 8, or 9. If we can get...

Polyester clothing ~ People loved this stuff to death. It was everywhere and everybody had some. No wrinkles, no ironing at all, almost miraculous the way these "miracle fabrics" came out of the drier, especially for a generation reared on must-be-ironed--no excuse!!-- 100 % cotton. But then...

SINCERE APOLOGIES To John Lefevre for taking the joke to far. Forgive me. How thoughtless!

Jetcone ~ Mother Superior John Combination Washer Dryer Le Fevre said that he's looking for some sort of Dodge Van that costs $25,000, and if I could help with that he would give me the fully operational GM Frigi Agitub Skinny-Mini he has on the premises at the Museum. He sure knows how to...

Kissin’ cousins~ Four leaks stopped by a long bead of marine sealant and a shark bite for the supply thanks to lover boy, and I was in business. Good luck on yours; spintubes are a ball !

Easy Spin Miracles ~ How generous, Robert, I'll be in touch. Thank You, Michael

The faucets have two functional positions and many decorative or esthetic ones. The long faucet sports DRAIN and SUDS, marked on the chrome plate, while the short faucet reads FILL and RINSE. All of the operators I observed as a kid would move the load of wash from the tub to the spinner with...
