A look inside The fearsome teeth! Ouch!

Oh and I'm late again as usual! It's not that my package arrived late or anything; in fact it arrive on SUNDAY before Christmas. My Santa was cagey about who he/she was, but I sent an eamail to the person who I THOUGHT it was right away. Since I have not received an email back either confirming...

Greetings and "Aloha" as we enter the New Year. I wish my whole AW family much good health and happiness in this next year. I don't always have a lot to say, I don't chime in on every thread and every topic, but I am here most every day and I do love you all here. Since our vacation back to...

I have a love/hate relationship with A/C I live very close to sea level in central Maui. Because the sun beats down on our place hard in the summer, we do need some air conditioning and I am grateful we have it, but I really prefer not to have it on all the time. By putting heavy curtains...

If I were guessing... I would guess that it is the thermal fuse, which would fail in the case of a blockage in the vent duct. The thing is that I don't guess...I follow the path of power with my volt/ohm meter and find where the break in the circuitry is. I used to love selling parts to fellows...

I celebrated by NOT consuming I am nauseated at all the ridiculous consuption that goes along with the birth of a religious figure. I joined the folks at Adbusters.org and I bought NOTHING on friday. See linkie...and yes, I am damn near being a communist. http://adbusters.org/metas/eco/bnd/

I hear ya, Sister! In just the amount of time it takes for my HE3t to decide whether or not it wants to go through the spin cycle, I could have probably two loads of wash out of any capable twin tub. I really would like to see machines of this nature made again. I dream of an Easy, but with a...

These flowers have nothing to do with what I do all day. Well, as some of you may know, I am a Service Technician for Hawaiian Isles Kona Coffee Co. My job is to drive around Maui Island to service and repair coffee and beverage machines. The types of machines I work on are commonly found at...

Hauoli la Hanau (That's Happy Birthday in Hawaiian) David

Yea! I happen to love the southwest and really enjoyed all the pictures! Glad to hear you had a nice time and that you measure up to the in-laws expectations (but who wouldn't love you?). David Oh, yeah- Go Lobos!

This is a dark day for all of us here. I am nearly in tears! I was lucky enough to have toured Plant 2 in Newton. I was there for the Maytag 80th anniversary celebration in 1987 when Jesse White helped fill a time capsule that was buried there in Newton. My last visit to Newton was in 2003, just...

The visit that almost wasn't... Terry and I had planned that I would pick him up at his hotel in Ka'anapali. It normally takes about 45 minutes to go from my house in Kahului over to the west side of the island. I left a few minutes early, just in case I hit extra friday afternoon traffic in...

Have a great day Mickey. Spin up some wash today!

Chestermike- Thanks for the history on the Hoover twinnies. I wish you could still buy one today. The model in the ad I scanned was I believe model 0500. I think this was the earliest model available on this side of the pond. Thanks for the youtube link-how fun to see one in action again! I...

We're just trailer trash at heart... Hi Greg- No, we do not have a large library of mobile home stuff-just a small collection. We have start looking for more things like this as there are NO mobile homes and travel trailers here in Hawai'i. I am really getting some itchy feet and would love to...

Hi Tom- The Hoovers always only had the one impeller. The machine with two impellers you are thinking of was the Maytag Porta-washer, which was so very similar to the Hoover that I'm surprised Hoover did not sue Maytag (but I think they just ripped off their dryer design instead). Big Kittyboy...

and I'm gonna sneak in a vacuum cleaner! Because you know that she probably has a load of wash going whilst she vacuums her house in her cool hairdo! My ex-sister-in-law had one of these and I was NOT impressed, but then it IS only an electric broom, not a full power cleaner.

From the October 1963 issue I nearly missed this ad since it does not feature a picture of a washer to grab my attention...but it is about washers. This one is especially for aldspinboy.

A few pages later in the November 1963 issue... The New Products column heralds the latest model of Monitor Wringer (waves at Petek). I had one of these fall into the big gay black hole of life as well. They are fun!

Dennis won some cool early to mid sixies "Trailer Topics" magazines off of *that all consuming auction website*. The 1963 issues have some advertisements that you all will enjoy looking at. First off is this early american offering of the Hoover spinner washer. I actually had one of these that...
