Ad is still up. I’d say it’s prime time to negotiate a lower price if someone lives nearby or wants to pay to ship…..

I was able to get a late 50s GE dryer service manual which seems pretty similar to my dryer upon first glance, so that coupled with the above images is incredibly helpful. Again, thanks to everyone and the collective knowledge here! The fuse seems interesting as based on the service manual...

Thought I’d move over to this forum as I start the tinkering process. Focusing on the dryer first as that’s the easier project to (slowly) tackle. I looked on this website and I do not see a 1957 dryer service manual which would be very helpful. I’m wondering if anyone has one they are willing...

That’s a pretty cool looking dishwasher. Looks heavy duty. Wonder what year?

Success! God bless rubbing alcohol on dissolving old glue 😋

Need advice …. How does this come off? I’m pulling so hard it is about to break…..

Thanks all for the suggestions. I went to basics first and am treating these like my car - automotive soap and elbow grease. Was a nice first cut. Anything left seems deeper more stubborn. I’ll try some of your tricks and I may use my orbital paint polisher (for cars) and see how that works. The...

Only the tops are porcelain and the rest is paint which started to come off with acetone so that’s a nope. Open to suggestions for removing the difficult residue.

Has no room to store it and planning to part out the controls and scrap the rest, which seems a shame. Looks quite nice and he is open to selling the unit (seems to be the obvious option n my mind, rather than destroy it). Zip code is 53045, which is Wisconsin.

Pictures…. Not exactly sure what folks want to see but took a bunch of pics before cleaning. The machines don’t seem to have any rust except a couple spots on the bottoms and I’m hoping the dryer will be operational with just a light cleaning. I might try and clean them with acetone first as I...

Hopefully folks have also seen the similar dryer on fb marketplace that’s been posted for months now. The price is come down from 400 to 300. It’s mint.

I stalk Facebook incessantly. Some people like to read, I cruise the entire country for used appliances on marketplace ( lol )and I’ve never once seen this design so I thought I’d post!

Nifty yellow set. Heavy duty. Works. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/139420989225273/

Washer dryer from around 1960ish and a fridge coming up for sale this weekend at a Nevada estate sale. https://reno.craigslist.org/app/d/lovelock-estate-sale-sat-1p-vintage/7660603891.html

Thanks so much Ben! I purchased the kit shown in picture 1 and it looks to be a perfect fit! Dumb question tho: The instructions only discuss the screw used for certain impellers ( doesn’t apply to me). No mention is made to the direction of the components. In examining this, I’m guessing the...

They’re in the basement! Just flew in from out of town (flight delayed so the shippers were waiting at 8pm PT for me) and now packing for camping. I’ll try and take some pictures (possibly next week) once I have more time. The washer is missing the back, but I don’t really see any rust which...

The set should arrive tomorrow. Fingers crossed it made the journey (pickup truck). I’m a bit nervous as it’s been raining in idaho and the shipper said he had to replace tarps a couple times as they’re ripping on the sets corners. Too scared to ask for more detail; I would assume temporary...

Thanks all for the kind words of support! I will undoubtedly need the support both technically and emotionally lol. To add to the trauma, the shipper arrived early and I woke up to my card kept getting declined as a fraud alert which took 45 minutes back and forth to finally get the bank to...

Sorry for the slow reply, I’m still absorbing while tryin to pack for a vacation, prep space for them, etc. I got them. I am very much questioning my sanity. Very much. I’ve found auctions to be quite bad for antiquing, items go for more than they would otherwise. Lots of junk fees etc plus I...
