Yes Blackstone did offer a specific Cold Wash/Warm Rinse on it's 1960 models as a 6 option water temp rotary selector. The 1959 models (on the bottom of the image) had push buttons which allowed that temp selection as well. I suspect Blackstone continued this for a while in the 60s on later...

Hi Eli, I'd replace both belts with fresh new belts. Just go to Ace Hardware and ask for a 3L380 and 3L420 drive belts.

Wow Cory you digitized that sound film absolutely perfectly! And what a fun film that was to watch. Question is your setup to do this portable enough to take it to a library to digitize films where they are considered reference material and you're not allowed to remove the films from the...

The average new whirlpool built washing machine will not require nearly as many service calls as these early machines and many of them will last in excess of 30 years when they’re in lighter use situations, in fact, I’m sure the average life expectancy of the machines coming out of the factory...

Totally impressed Cory, and I've subscribed to your channel! I assume these 16mm films that you've digitized don't have a sound track? Look how freaking cool this demonstration '52/'53 Whirlpool is, now this would be a find for sure.

Congratulations Keith, that Servis looks like a really fun and interesting machine. The agitator is unique as well. I just love the look of the whole machine, so very vintage! I also know how wonderful it feels to find a machine you've been searching for a very long time, enjoy that part for sure.

I have no comment to make on this video I stumbled upon on Facebook, except are getting 3 lemon near BOL appliances possible?

I bet some of those older people have been dead for 60+ years and didn't even live long enough to see the '06 generation of washers and dryers released. That's very true however they more than likely all got to see their grandmothers use a Maytag Pastime Washer and would be nostalgic about...

What happens @ 100k ? Nothing, nada, absolutely nothing lol

Wow Ben, you've done it again. Congratulations on another amazing and thorough mechanical restoration. Once again we prove the guys wrong at that appliance parts stores telling us it will be "impossible to fix this and it's time for a new washer".

No I have no way of going back through all the old posts and changing a username without having to write new code. I don't want risk creating a bug in the database by doing that manually.

Jamie that is so super cool!!! Like I made the Super Unimatic, you are now in the middle of creating the Super Unimac!!! Please keep us posted. There are slots for 3 heating elements? You'd be boiling in no time!

13 years ago I made a demonstration lid cover for the Bendix Economat to reveal the extraction cycle...

Reply #7 Thanks Fred for the scan, it is super cool to see that coin-op Blackstone washer again. That is the exact model I remember in that one coin laundromat that had Blackstone washers. When I was in high school in 1978-1981 I used to save a large basket of all of my old clothes that I had...

I had no idea these ever existed, it appears these early 1970s top-loaders were made by Blackstone! I just accidently ran across these two images on Pinterest.

My friend Karen/Miss Jetcone got one of the counter-top combos on Amazon (which are currently out of stock). Really cute machine, I suspect the spin speed is about 650-700rpm from my observations. I washed 12 16"x16" cleaning rags on the boil cycle and the machine did rather well...

No both brands could be unlocked and opened by turning the lid handle anytime during the cycle which stops the machine.

Robert, you mentioned adding softener to the last rinse. Do you pour it in through one of the little vents in the lid? Thanks. No that would be too messy Tom, I open the lid which stops the machine and pour it into one of the 3 channels of drum that has indent for the drum paddles.

While this is no where near ready to make really good washer videos and it is limited to making 5 second videos but AI technology is rapidly advancing so fast that I expect within the next few years it will follow commands to the point of being almost perfect. We will really be able to be super...

How Fun! That looks so great Jon congratulations, was the boot from the UK?
