HI all, I have a 1927 Marshall and Wendell grand piano with an Ampico player. I am having new bass string made for the piano and before they arrive and the tuner installs them, I want to clean the finish on the lid. I would guess it has a lacquer finish on it? I was thinking about using...

My '59 Continental has electric windows; all move quickly and quietly. My 2007 Town car has great windows too.

I would like an ABC automatic from the 50's. I have the gas dryer to it, just like to have the washer to match.

Roy, Welcome to the world of wringer washers! Maytag made a ton of them and you won't be disappointed when using this. It looks like it is in excellent shape? Maybe you can use it in the house as your regular washer and get an older one for the garage? Just a thought. Gary

I wonder if Apex could have made this machine? The agitator is somewhat reminiscent of the one that was used in their wringer machines?

I wonder if Lovell made the wringer?

I was thinking about the same kind that the Lady Kenmore wringer had.

The Whirlpool washer had a lint filter too if you got the fancy model.

If it was in the 50's, it could be that the design was from the ABC washing machine company of Peoria,Il. Kelvinator bought out ABC in the 50's so some of the same machines may say Kelvinator or ABC. I hope this may help a bit? Gary

coal range I had a 1925 copper clad cookstove that i used. I burned bituminous (soft coal) in it for years in the winter time. It gave off a wonderful warmth and I was able to cook meals on it with ease. After you work with it for awhile and understand what dampers to use and how to use them...

Who made wringer washers for Wards? Norge perhaps or GE?

Mike Hi Mike. It is better if you use my yahoo email. The other address is not working well right now. [email protected] thanks, Gary

I think mine was made are around 1960 or so. The levers have to be lubed up or they wont work.they are hooked up to cables and they must all move freely. I would sooner have your version.

Good luck with all of this. Your machine looks older than mine does. I have one that has the controls all in the middle,; the cables that run all of the functions must be lubricated so that they work well.

HI Mike, Any update on the Easy? You are right, it is a pain to work on. On your back, lying on the floor and trying to get to things that need attention. Not of the faint hearted. Gary
