Whenever two or more are gathered, a Wash Party happens Ralph (and Ben), Thank you for the kind words. Todd and I certainly had a grand time at your home this past weekend, Ralph. As most of us have come to understand, whenever one tackles a project, especially when plumbing is...

Pete, No, I have not started working on any of the new machines yet. Plus, I brought another new acquition home Tuesday this week. Mike

Rich, No, I had not heard of this particular one before. Mike

Wow, Rich. That is a fantastic find. Way ahead of both Youngstown and Frigidaire on the spray tube technology. Thanks for sharing this with us. Mike

Pete, Nice dishwasher. You certainly have good luck finding these early GE Portables. I checked my contact in Missouri to see if he had any of the white impellers, but he has none. Mike

Thank You and Comments Petek: Yeah, I just get in the cab of that truck, and go. There is lots of room for me to stretch my legs out. I don’t think that I could make these kinds of trips in my Honda car. Yes, I drove right past Saugatuck on my way home. I was there only once with...

Seventh and final leg of the trip. I arrived home about 12:45am Tuesday morning - just 4 1/2 hours short of 3 full days on the road. About 37 total driving hours. Several have asked how I manage. I take my XM radio along, I set the Cruise Control, and I just go. And the hours pass...

Sixth leg of the trip. Now, I am on my next to final pickup leg, headed for Holland, Michigan where I have had my eye on a free-standing Thor Washer since May, 2011, when I first came across this machine in a Craigslist ad. The seller had included a phone number, so she and I have been...

Fifth leg of the trip.. On down the road: Next stop was Modern Parts House, in Parma, Ohio. I have become good friends with Larry, his wife Sharon, and their employee, Ray. I think this was either my 3rd or 4th visit to their store, and they always seem genuinely happy and pleased that I...

I met him back at the house at 9am Monday morning. Part of the job went smoothly, but I overlooked the drain connection to the dishwasher which had me stumped for a while trying to figure out why I could not get this machine to budge. But once I realized my mistake, it wasn’t much longer and...

Fourth leg of the trip - continued. In early December, I found a Youngstown Electric Sink/Dishwasher (with lid window) on Craigslist. The ad had been posted on December 4th, and I emailed the seller on December 7th. He had made an offer on a home in Erie back in October, which was...

Fourth leg of the trip. I fully expected to take 2 hours to load the Thor Sink, but since it took only 20 minutes, I was back on the road by 10:15, headed to my next pickup stop in Erie, PA. Now, just about 30 miles south of Erie, is the town of Meadville, PA, and right on my route to...

Washer and Dishwasher Composite The Dishwasher Tank and all of its parts are intact, and outwardly clean. It is dirty on the inside where I found a nest of some kind. The Dishwasher Tank rests on a swing out bracket for easy access and storage underneath the sink area.

Money Shot!

Third leg of the trip. Well, back in September last year, I came across a paper copy of that thread that I had printed out for future reference. I wrote to Bobby asking him what ever happened to this machine. He wrote that it was located 45 miles from his home, and he would drive there to...

Does anyone remember when Bobby (whirlaway) from Hampton, Virginia, posted his thread back in August 2009 about finding the Thor Automagic Sink? http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?24203

Second Leg of the trip. Five hours later, I arrived at my first pickup destination – Wytheville, Virginia. Here I picked up a Youngstown freestanding Dishwasher. This dishwasher first came up in an ebay auction, which ended on November 28th. I had seen the auction, but I didn’t bid...

First Leg of the trip. After about six hours on the road, my first stop was in Milford, Ohio (Cincinnati) to see Pete (rollermatic). Over the past 3+ years, we have talked, emailed and messaged numerous times, but had never met. I was fortunate to find him at work at Home Depot on his...

What’s better than one Thor Automagic and one Youngstown Dishwasher? Three Thor Automagic machines, AND Three Youngstown Dishwashers! One week ago this past Saturday (Saturday Feb 25) at 5:15am, I set out on a 2,240 mile journey that would take me through eight states in slightly less than...
