    Portable vintage KitchenAid DW

    Gosh, I just wish I had the spare $100.00. I don't think he'll have any trouble selling this one! NorfolkSouthern

    Cabrio or Kitchen Aid

    I would opt for the KitchenAid. They have stellar cleaning abilities, and are fairly uncommon. When I think about it, I do have some regrets about selling the one I had. Like DADoES, I believe the KitchenAids will gain in collector value. Some parts can be interchanged with other Whirlpool and...

    New LG Machine

    Speaking of Siemans Do their machines put on a very good show? I reflect a lot on this old Zerowatt I have, and it reminds me of a 1/4 scale Wascomat. I would like these new front loaders better IF they had the ability to ramp up to a full spin without spending the next half hour trying to...

    Real American Machines = ''That Happy feeling''

    All things are subject to change Yes, indeed. And in a lot of cases, not for the better. In the United States, we sold off our manufacturing to China. The United Kingdom was no exception. Even Japan went along with the lemmings. And after China, it will be Cambodia, Viet Nam, and everybody else...

    PRIMING &PAINTING & FLAIRS..... OH MY!!!

    Which kinds of enamel are you using on these machines, Soberleaf? I really should consider refinishing the cabinet on my Roto-Rack. NorfolkSouthern

    BD Lady Kenmore Portable - Teardown

    You will have to remove the cabinet First, you will need to run a putty knife under the front, where the snaps are that hold the top down. Tape the lid so it won't fling up when you pop the hood up. Then, you have to unplug what ever hoses are attached to the cabinet, as well as any wiring. Of...

    New LG Machine

    LG? Samsung? All badged as Hoovers? Or Hotpoints? If I buy a European front loader, I'm gonna want the real McCoy rather than something re-badged from Korea. I guess the old Italian Zerowatt spoiled me. Let us pray that Miele and Asko don't go that route. NorfolkSouthern

    My Find For The Day

    Switching out the agitator: Yes! Of course, I forgot to mention that you can certainly go get a Kenmore Dual Action and fit it right on spline, no problem. However, you would definitely need to remove the spin basket and get a Kenmore lint filter to snap underneath. That's because the Kenmore...

    My Find For The Day

    Your agitator Since what you're showing is actually the lint filter part of the agitator, those are still available from what I recall. You may want to check either partadvantage.com, partselect.com, or possibly repairclinic.com. You should be able to find the part number on repairclinic after...

    1970s WCI Kelvinator Washer and Dryer set

    How sad. Ordinary people want brand new, current high-efficiency models that are under warranty and save energy. Most of us collectors look for what is unique and uncommon. WCI did a super job of ruining two great designs and manufacturers. The lack of an oscillating agitator really puts this...

    ZEROWATT

    Lately, I've been using regular Tide in mine, and the suds haven't been excessive, usually quite low in fact. I even did a couple pillows, which made quite a bit of foam but not enough to reach the dispenser. There was no suds lock at all, and the big motor just took it all in stride. And there...

    ZEROWATT

    For reference Here's another photo of mine after I cleaned it up some. The prior owner rigged it up with a Y connector and sink coupler, as I don't think he had a regular hookup. NorfolkSouthern

    ZEROWATT

    I looked at the drive belt on my front loader, and it is definitely a Zerowatt. The belt was labeled "Uniroyal Zerowatt". So, I suppose I'll be looking for what ever Zerowatt parts I can find. There is some surface rust in the cabinet, and it looks like it will be a challenge to take apart. If...

    Go ahead, open that lid

    These older machines certainly don't appear to be very forgiving of errors. I am reasonably sure that the wrong broken part can mean "we're all done", resulting in a 200 pound night stand. At least, until something can be fabricated to bring it back to working condition. I wouldn't want to run...
