1963 Kemore 80 series in Coppertone... It's what Momma had when I was born, and the dryer lasted until I went to college. (My folks went to Riyadh for dad's work for 6 years and rented out the house... Of course one of the renter's ruined the machine. BASTARDS!) IN all honesty, I kinda like...

Woolite Is a detergent. You want a shampoo for wool: It's far gentler to the fibers. A gentle soap or shampoo. I have a friend who makes her own soap from the plant "Boucing Bette" (Soapwort or Saponaria Officinalis) but she's always been a bit "extreme". As far as wearing wool next to...

I live on an Island... soap with Phosphates SO NOT ECO FRIENDLY here... But thanks for the advice whirlykenmore

Washing woolens hints from Pro-knitter If you want to wash woolens without damaging them... Here's what I, a professional knitter/knitwear designer, would recommend: (First of all, colour check dye fastness... if it has silk, and it has red, there is a good chance the dye will bleed. Wet a...

I'm finally using my (17.5" wide) GE undercounter mini-dishwasher, thanks to you guys, after living in this rental for the past 8 years... Lo and behold: No sink of dirty dishes for a week plus; no "escapees" hiding out in the bedroom, livingroom, bathroom. I am slowly turning domestic and my...

OMG! Eaton Vikings, Pierre... I hadn't thought of Eaton's in AGES and just yesterday I was telling someone about them. HOW FUNNY~!

I don't lust after many UK machines... They're just too different from all the Top Loaders I've seen growing up. THIS MACHINE, however IS THE EXCEPTION. I think they are incredibly cool (although for sure I'd accidentally throw away the key in the first week, just watch.)

Videos pls, gentlemen, for those who cannot make the sojourney...

Ooooo. It's old and some fool will pay a fortune for it! (not)

Gordon, your WEALTH of KM knowledge never ceases to AMAZE me. You're a walking encyclopaedia.

Norge... I will try to do so, shortly. If I don't, drop me a message to remind me.

You all will undoubtedly roll your eyes at me with a "DUH!" but what is the purpose of the cage at the top of the tub? To me it just looks like it was destined to catch buttons, zippers, etc of anything that got within reach.

That double entendre wasn't on purpose, was it? Congrats on the return to really clean clothes.

Learning curve I put 4 squares of wood 2"x8"x8", one under each of the feet, and each with a dense neoprene foam under it...the washer is now balanced and insulated from the floor...problem solved. Of course, now that it's not grinding into the floor, it has a bit of sympathetic vibration, but...

Fantastic restoration and video-ing. Bravo!!! That machine is totes gorgemous!

There is a vid in Youtube of a machine just like this running. It IS pretty cool, I must admit... Like you, I doubt it's cleaning ability, but still. Off the charts coolness! Congrats on the acquisition...
