    Lady Kenmore Question

    That newly posted beauty is indeed from the 50's, Mid to Late, and it is in incredible condition for being nearly 65 years old. There are so many Visimatics on Ebay all the time, the best ones often going quickly, but the gem in post number one is not among them. Of course it's yours, but...

    Lady Kenmore Question

    That's a beautiful Version of the Classic Maytag-- the lettering, the color--AHHHH. Don't really know about parts for the WP/KM's though. Repair Clinic comes to mind. Believe other members know of a very few other remaining parts sources. Where is this machine?

    Lady Kenmore Question

    Sometimes life is truly miraculous ~ Hello Zachary! Haven't tuned in in a month of Sundays, and you popped up just as I logged on. I see you're a newbie. A warm welcome. For a Visimatic lover like me, this a a very rare dream machine. It hails from the late 50's--7, 8, or 9. If we can get...

    'Double Knits' definition

    Polyester clothing ~ People loved this stuff to death. It was everywhere and everybody had some. No wrinkles, no ironing at all, almost miraculous the way these "miracle fabrics" came out of the drier, especially for a generation reared on must-be-ironed--no excuse!!-- 100 % cotton. But then...

    Lorain Furniture (Cleveland, Ohio) Maytag A806 restoration...

    Jetcone ~ Mother Superior John Combination Washer Dryer Le Fevre said that he's looking for some sort of Dodge Van that costs $25,000, and if I could help with that he would give me the fully operational GM Frigi Agitub Skinny-Mini he has on the premises at the Museum. He sure knows how to...

    Kissin’ cousins~ Four leaks stopped by a long bead of marine sealant and a shark bite for the supply thanks to lover boy, and I was in business. Good luck on yours; spintubes are a ball !

    Easy Spindrier Model SCL

    The faucets have two functional positions and many decorative or esthetic ones. The long faucet sports DRAIN and SUDS, marked on the chrome plate, while the short faucet reads FILL and RINSE. All of the operators I observed as a kid would move the load of wash from the tub to the spinner with...

    Easy Spindrier Model SCL

    "the" washtub not he, tee tee Interesting facts about the vintage Easy: They spin at 900 RPM's; they hold 18 gallons of water at full level, but work wonderfully and safely-for-the clothing at low levels for small loads, since the Spiralator does not yank them backward. There are 1500 needle...

    Easy Spindrier Model SCL

    Welcome to Aworg. This is the classic vintage standard Easy Spindrier of the 1950's. Buy it. $125 is a fair price. When you get it home there are two important things to do in order to loosen the the two valves that operate the drains from the washtub and the spinner. 1. Just below and...

    Frigidaire Holy Grail - WCIR-61

    Ben, I have never seen a separate switch for Suds-return on a Frigidaire before--and a double push button, no less. Extraordinary! Usually, the function is listed on the Wash Temp Knob. Even better, if that's a bit of return lint on the suds hose in the first pic, chances are they used it; good...

    Speed Queen Combo

    '93 or '94 Model # LSP 9245BWO Regrettably, although I love this machine, the Resource Saver was available that year, but I passed on it because it did not have anywhere near as many buttons and dials, and was not paneled in dramatic black. Pathetic, I know, but true, LOL. Now, I would...

    Speed Queen Combo

    Extraction Factors ~ This is so interesting and illuminating: Have been using a direct drive WP and a large, perf tub GE lately; the lightness of the finished loads has been surprising to me since they both spin in the relatively slow mid 600's. Scratched my head wondering how is this...

    Speed Queen Combo

    How exciting, Eddy. Good for you. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. It'll be amazing to see what the Speed Queen Combo can do. Anticipation Galore. "Who had a 'Speed Queen combo popping up late into the 2020 year' on their bingo cards? Wow!" Brilliant, Ben ! LOL.

    Fabric washability?

    I had the same delimma a few years ago with the four sets of drapes in the master bedroom. I laundered the least visible drape from the corner window wall, just as a test, knowing that I could survive a less than desirable outcome on the drape with lowest visibility. Matt, it came out...
