Well,I found my hoover 512 that I had been looking for. There was an estate sale over in Downsville, a small town over the hill from my town. My mother-in law had seen it advertised and told me about there being a hoover washer in the ad for the sale. So I didn't get too juiced up, I tried not...

everyone who knows me at all knows that the Hoover twintub 510 and 512 are my favorite machines in the world of washers. I do know that Hoover's first twintub in the U.S. was the model with the controls on the front right of the unit. But the shell of the machine looked exactly the same as the...

I had started my typewriter collection in the days before the net was a reality for the gen. public. I was always into the vintage royal machines. I saw the royal empress in a book once and realized I HAD TO HAVE ONE!!! I didn't even get one until many moons later thanks to ebay. I have also...

oscar's typewriter I have an old ad for a remington from 1955. It is the remington "noiseless"standard tyewriter. the return arm is a bit different than the one that oscar had. the end points up. on oms the return arm end points down and has a shoe horn look about it. I believe I had a...

you guys really understand me!!!! I really enjoyed all the great stuff you guys wrote about Oscars machines in the odd couple. In the 70s when I was a kid I used to mess up my room to emulate Oscars in the show. I personally like his Remington machine. what year is that model from? there were a...

maybe at the washer convention.... I would like to attend the washin on late aug. In fact the wife said she would come alone also( she is also a bit of a collector)I dont want to sound like an opportunist but I would like to be coming home with a hoover 512. thanks Bill

way before I was into washers or even into drycleaning. I was a typewriter collector. it started with watching the odd couple reruns in the 70s when I was a kid. I had my first underwood when I was 7. by the time I was 20 I had my parents attic full of them. I always thought that oscars machine...

the spindryers are a unique breed. the spindriers /twintubs are a breed all of their own. I do believe you either really like them or don't like them at all. I really like them. I love the hoovers. the 510 and the elusive 512 that I am trying to find. I am working on my easy machine trying to...

anyone please, in ny or surrounding states at least!!!! the 512s are out there but they are out of my reach. doesn't anyone in ny or the surrounding states have one they would part with? I could go to nj,pa,or even to the tip of mass. thanks Bill

I would love to get this,but it is impossible to obtain the price is right but it might as well be in Alaska. thanks Biil

the august wash in possibly.... I am thinking seriously about attending the wash in in late Aug. However the prospect of maybe coming home with a certain 1960s vintage brown washer might really make the trip very fulfilling. never the less meeting you fine folks would be a very welcome...
