Spartus:

Then the Colortones:

Then the Holly Times: The one on the far right is the one I grew up with. My parents bought it along with our 7 foot PECO pom pom aluminum tree (which I still have)from JC Penneys in December of 1964--I was in the first grade!

Through my years of visiting AWO, I've enjoyed everyone's collections of washers, dryers, dishwashers, mixers, and so forth. Thought I'd share some pictures of my unusual collection--color wheel made for aluminum Christmas trees. These have fascinated me all my life. When these trees were the...

You will love it! We bought this same vac new and it's been our daily driver with only one repair needed. Great machine.

Me too! This (or a similar model) would be my dream machine! It's been a looong time since I've seen anything like that around here

I recently bought my first Filter Queen--a Princess III. I love it. The only thing wrong is that it doesn't say Filter Queen anywhere!! There's a model 33 in a thrift store nearby that I'm considering. Hope it's still there. I really like the cord rewind and the Filter Queen logo on that model.

Thanks! I'll let Jen know about the warranty

A friend called me over today to see why her 4 or 5 yr old noreg-tag won't agitate. Upon checking it out, it sounds like it's washing rocks! It will agitate, though not too smoothly, for a little bit, then comes to a grinding halt. The rock crushing sound seems to come from the transmission...

I'm a little slow in replying, but man I'm loving this thread. My favorite (besides the Frigidaire clamshells) would have to be the Hotpoint sillouhettes.

Thanks for the tips. We've lived in the house since '83. The unit did a superb job of keeping us comfortable until we added a family room and master suite a few years ago. We knew then that the ac would not be adequate but just kept thinking it would die and we would get the appropriate size...

My 1950's rancher is cooled by a 1977 Sears central AC unit. The thing still runs great but as others have said, it's undersized for the house. All rooms are comfortable during the night when the unit cycles on-off as it should. From 10 Am until 2 or 3 AM it never stops and it can't keep up...

Absolutely stunning! That's something I've always wanted to do but have never had the chance. Good work!

That's what (my) dreams are made of! Congrats. Nothing like that to be found around here.

I like this washer but I can't get it to stop leaking. I replaced the stem, boot seal according to your directions posted here, worked great for several loads, started leaking again. Replaced stem and seal again(using new parts), being very meticulous to follow your directions. Washer leaks...

That is my dream washer, too. My sister had a middle of the line Hotpoint in the late 60's. She used it until about '76 or '77. I'm not sure what went wrong with it.

Thanks for the fast reply. Yes, there are metal shavings aroung the top of the drive block. I may have another one here, will have to check and see. If not, I'll let you know. Thanks for the offer. I don't have a picture but will try to get one soon.
