Pretty cool vintage stuff ! Lots of fine pieces out from the shadows of the past. Thanks for sharing. uj

Poppy red ! Congrats, dear Christina ! Hope that you can revive this great machine, as it surely is worth it. Btw, just found old (2006 & 2011) threads with discussions and pictures about the Frigidaire: https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?7358...

Cool memorabilia. Those years are sorely missed.

Ben, welcome to this forum ! Nice day, unclejohn (Canada)

Thank you guys A50 in the U.K. ? Never thought of that... Cool ! Now i wonder how many 'real' british Hoovermatics in America, other than the now already quite scarce 'export' model 0500...

Great find ! Those dryers (and washers, matched sets) were very well-made indeed. Kenmore models from the 70's or 80s ?

Found a copy of the user's manual (in .pdf format) Looks like this:

DE50 Kenny (goatfarmer), That's a nice vintage dryer, indeed. Looks in pretty good shape. Reminds one a lot of the Hoover set of small twin tub and matching dryer of the same era. (Note: I have checked for the appliance on the picture and provided link and, acccording to the serial number...

A50 vs belts Thank you for your comments, Melvin, and Launderess . Appreciated. As for the belt, the hunt has just begun !

Thanks, to you, Thomas. Can i venture to ask you what is the company in LA ? (Just in case i cannot find a valid replacement here in The North)... Hey, hey, Christina from Tucson, AZ ! (I do not forget the one who got me a vintage, very hard-to-find, drain hose for my beloved Hvr 510 !) Yes...

more pictures... Maytag A50 'Porta-Washer' (The Serial Nr on mine's ends with 'WU' which translates into Sept. 1975 -- the exact date of manufacture)

Hi Everybody ! Got me yet another twin tub !! I'm tempted to say, as a design, the 'cutest' of all twinnies. Yep, someone sold (through Kijiji) an Maytag model A50, known as Porta-Washer. As it happens, i contacted the guy--who had it in the basement of his house. Moreover, he was located in...

You said Kenmore ? Got myself one little Kenmore ('Simpsons-Sears') washer spin-dryer, much alike the Hoover pictured above. The Kenmore model came with one water spigot for fill and rinse purposes. Mine's was manufactured in Canada back in the early 1980s. / uj

Very interesting question, Michael ! The point of view / subject raised by Ken (Bajaespuma) is equally very interesting. There exist a photo of myself taken next to our Hoover washer, from 1966. IIRC, my mom started to use a small Hoover twin tub washer back in 1965 (the year of my birth)...

Guess what ... ... Betcha the 'Deluxe' thing has something to do with the high price tag ! LOL :)
