I've had my F&P . . . . . . Drawers for 12 or 13 years and have been very pleased with them. No problems whatsoever. And one thing I like is that if there is a problem with the motor, it is very easily replaceable. Mine are quiet and to an excellent job of cleaning. Good luck with your...

This is the most . . . . . . fascinating story I have ever read. Thank you for writing and publishing the history. I had just retired when I met Hans Craig. And quite by accident, I discovered a newsletter with a picture of Robert sitting atop a Bendix washing machine. Hans informed me of...

I grew up . . . . . . with a Maytag wringer first which I managed to get my arm caught in the wringer when I was "helping" Mother wash. Then we got a Thor Automagic which was a great machine. Did all the washing and rinsing in one tub which spun to get out the water. Then was the Maytag AMP...

I know . . . . . . it was in the 1950's -- fairly early 1950's. Jerry Gay

Growing up . . . . . . we had a Maytag AMP machine. Our first automatic which replaced a Thor Automagic. That AMP lasted 16 years doing laundry for a family of five. And it lasted through my tinkering when I discovered how easily the thick top would come apart. And there were the tubes...

Hey Searsbest . . . . . . I got myself a SQ FL from Combo52 the last time he had the Wash-In. It's a great machine. Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Cleans well, rinses well, and spins the clothes nearly dry. You're gonna love your SQ. Good luck and Happy Washing. Jerry Gay

It's been an interesting thread. I have had F&P Dish Drawers for about 12 years. They work wonderfully well. They replaced a Hobart built Insinkerator which was exactly the same as a KA. I have been very happy with the drawers. When I need something, it's always clean and ready for me to...

Combo52 (John LeFever . . . has a beautiful Westinghouse slant front set in this color at the museum. Beautiful machines. Jerry Gay

Nice dishwasher. I believe it to be around 1956. And, of course, the Happy Hotpoint dancer is Mary Tyler Moore. I believe it was her first job.' Jerry Gay

Thanks for a . . . . . . wonderful Duomatic story. I've had one -- a 1959 -- for years, but it wasn't getting used so I gave it to a buddy. I would LOVE to have a gas Duomatic like the one pictured yesterday. I have never seen that particular model in person. The memories we all have of...

Hey Bendixboy . . . . . . where are you in NC? I'm in Winston-Salem. Jerry Gay PS Sorry, I don't have the parts you want.

I've had a F&P . . . . . . double dish drawer for 12 or 13 years with one service call. I love them. Instead of waiting for a larger dishwasher to get full before running, I use my F&P all the time. Therefore whenever I need something for cooking or eating, it's always clean and ready...

I had a Spin-X . . . . . . for many years. Used it all the time, especially when I was washing with my Bendix diving bell machine. It finally gave up the ghost and I had to trash it. Seems to me there was a place in Texas that sold the Spin-X. I never knew Frigidaire had one. Jerry Gay

On the 1951 Kenmore . . . . . . dial that is pictured, if you turn the dial to 10 minutes or lower, it would start agitation no matter how much water was in the tub. At the time I realized this, the only experience I had had was with a Thor, a Maytag AMP, a Bendix front load, and the...

I have a F&P . . . . . . AquaSmart Washer and top-load dryer. They are both wonderful machines. No problems whatsoever. They were the first to build whatever kind of motor is in the washer -- no gears, no transmission -- the motor does the work. The washer will agitate a very short stroke...

I had a diving . . . . . . bell for years, a 1944 model. I used it often and always enjoyed it. I have since given it to another washing machine guru here in Winston-Salem. Fun machine to use. Cleaned well, but as previously said, extraction was poor. MANY of these machines were sold. A...

Our first dryer . . . . . . was a Maytag HOH electric. Didn't have gas in the house at that time. My mother was thrilled with the HOH dryer, especially when grandchildren came to visit and there was more laundry to do and less time to do it in. I was traveling for work, sometimes getting...

Fascinating video and ideas. Just another example of your abilities and genius. Thanks for sharing a wonderful video. Jerry Gay

Great find!!!! When and if you get around to running the Bendix with a load of clothes or rags, whatever, be sure you have it bolted down. There is no suspension system, so it will walk when it starts to spin. Enjoy!!! It has its drawbacks, but that's what brought automation to doing...

Great find . . . . . . Bob. Can't wait to see it. Jerry Gay
