It sure seems frothy, at least in the wash.

I suspect that the butter colored parts are signs of oxidized paint. Note that the white porcelain tub is still while.

Exciting picture The left side is some sort of room heater, a necessity in some older homes that originally had solid fuel ranges in northern climates. This might be a vented gas space heater or it might be a solid fuel heater.

That's a lot of years for $100.

Robert, Thanks. I did not know that the lid could be opened during the cycle. Wasn't the Launderall lid locked during the cycle? And the Hortons were not?

Robert, you mentioned adding softener to the last rinse. Do you pour it in through one of the little vents in the lid? Thanks.

Thanks, Jon.

Neat find, Jon. Thanks for sharing. https://www.google.com/maps/@38.90983,-77.0089907,3a,75y,88.18h,90t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s4dL0VOCVk0QiD_Km8ir7Og!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D0%26panoid%3D4

A wooden washer; no, not a wooden rub board, a wooden look control panel. 80s, right?

Re: reply #7 I neglected to state that the boxes are the same size, but you lose 40 loads because so much OXI bleach is added to the formula.

Poor Thing; rode hard and put away wet & dirty.

I look at today's OXI additives and boosters in much the same light. Costco used to sell a 183 load box of Tide. Now it has been replaced by a 143 load box of Tide OXI. Just as washing performance declined in the late 60s with the removal of STPP, now it is is colder water and terrible washing...

Vintage D&M. Before I saw the second photo, I recognized the door latch as like the one on a friend's American Kitchens DW.

What's with all of the flowers on the control panel? Does it being on the shipping skids mean that it is less likely to have rust?

It has the Harper center simmer burners like our 1952 Crown 40". The 4 little flames from the center could simmer a 6 quart Revere Ware Dutch Oven full of spaghetti sauce and the valve could be turned down even further to reduce the little flames to barely visible points of light.

Is that collision damage on the front of the dryer or just dirt?

What happened to the washer? Did they have an animal that marked territory on it?

And the phosphate BS was largely a bow to the agricultural lobby who did not want to be blamed for phosphates in surface water from fertilizer run off and animal fecal run off in streams and rivers from poultry, dairy and commercial hog farms.

X was used along with XK with names of detergents, like TIDE XK and presoak products to signify that they had enzymes. The main secret behind the enzyme products was that they were high in sodium tripolyphosphate at a time when mainstream detergents were pulling phosphates from their formulas...

My declining reply was not directed to you and did not contain any evaluation requiring a response from you.
