My grandmother always call her washing machine a laundromat. "They just delivered my new laundromat and dryer".

Martin I hope you made it through the storms alright. I do have a plate and lid and maybe wringer. I could bring the donor machines to you if need be. I have a couple you could harvest parts from (I'm trying to thin the herd). Jeff

I was seriously going to get this and bring it to the wash in next week. I don't need another filtrator and was afraid no one would take it off my hands.

Maytag wringer parts I might have some of what you need, I am not sure by your description, could you post pics? I have a lid and agitator for sure and maybe a parts donor machine. May not be the exact model but most parts for these were interchangeable. Maytag used the same drain hose for...

Wash-in I will be there Friday with a few machines leave Sunday Jeff

Use to be mine! I gave Jimmy that washer many years ago to match the dryer he already had. Later he sold me a few things at what I thought were very good prices. I didn't have any trouble and he had a beautiful collection. The washer did need bearings at that time but everything worked. I see...

wringers Well, in Ohio I could get 5 or 6 for that price!

Bendix Notice the very early Bendix porthole door opens down. I wonder how many glass doors got broken before the redesign to swing open?

detergents When detergents (not soap) first came on the market many were advertised as "no rinsing needed" and showed women taking clothes right from the wringer to the clothes line. Women who were use to soap that had to be rinsed didn't trust not rinsing so the ads were quickly dropped. Jeff

It is also missing a shelf

Maytag During normal washing there is no need to turn off the motor. at the end of the wash day unplug it. Since it will only be used once in a while I don't see the need to leave it plugged in unless the outlet is hard to reach. It was designed to be unplugged most of the time but I don't...

New washer In my opinion you are never going to get the years out of anything new that you got out of the last two machines you have had. I wouldn't count on more than 10 to 12 years before major repair or replace. A refurbished older one should last that long and be less expensive and offer...

patio roof You could try an awning company. If they have been around awhile they have parts for old alum. window awnings.

Kitchen aide mixer I would guess after 16 years the grease is separating. I just regreased 2 before Christmas. Very easy (but a little messy)job. Just remove a few screws, take out all the old grease(the messy part) repack with new grease, (I would replace the seal)put back together. Kitchen...

wood / coal Grew up with wood/coal furnace. Coal DEFINENTLY is dirtier. We had a modern coal wood furnace that used ductwork and a blower. Even with it in the basement by the end of the heating season the house had gray oily residue on everything. Spring cleaning was a major event and I...

Party line On our party line system only the phone being called rang. When you picked up the phone to dial out if you heard talking you where suppose to gentle replace the receiver and try again a few minutes later. If it was still the same party talking after a while you would get frustrated...

Temps Last night -8 wind chill -40 talk of many buss. and school cancelled, and talk of no mail delivery. A lot of advertising new animal cruelty laws and threats about police coming to your house if they get a report you left animals out in it, along with horrifying pictures of frost bit dogs...

Party Line We had a party line up through the 70's. It was all that was available to us at the time. If you wanted to call someone on the party line you dialed their number, hung up, then waited for your phone to ring. When we did get a private line (along with everyone else on the line) our...

Brands In Mansfield Westinghouse was the cheap or common appliance. They were made here and everyone knew someone who worked there and could get things at the company store with a discount. Next up the line was Sears or Mont. Ward because we had these two large stores and they had credit cards...

POD How did you set wash time? There are no indications around the dial, and if everything is pre programed why have a timer knob instead of a start button?
