Reply #42 - Cannon That art work is fantastic!   lawrence

Go Melvin!   lawrence

I've always considered today's picture to be one of the more-dramatic advertisements featured.  The dead-pan expression on both faces and the visual contrast with the black background is certainly an eye catcher.  But I have to wonder, as nice as the Pucci scarf is, just how effective it was at...

Melvin, I thought you would have already adopted this pair, especially that avocado dryer.   lawrence

This collection is mentioned in an Imperial thread, but is now offered on Ebay.  More photos with the ad.  Bidding starts at $350 for the lot.   lawrence [this post was last edited: 5/9/2024-15:33]...

Eddie, My Aunt Betty only had the washer in her trailer but that was considered high cotton for the time (late 1950's).  She still had to hang the wash out on the line, but didn't have to carry all laundry to the common use laundromat.   In my last year of college (1975-1976) I worked with a...

When I was a kid an aunt of mine had one of these washers in a mobile home.  It was a 2-bedroom model; you walked (front-to-back) from the kitchen through my cousin's bedroom (bunk beds on your right) through the bathroom, into the rear bedroom.  The bathroom was divided into two compartments...

Kenny, Might be.  However, I have little compassion for anyone who posts "one-hundred fifty dollars" as "150$" in  lieu of "$150".  Get it right or don't even try.   lawrence

Paul, Congratulations on your new playroom.  That's just awesome!  Seems a shame to mess it up with tools and parts.   lawrence

I'm thinking this is a Brazilian version of a Whirlpool washer, and so the text is in Portuguese, but fairly easy to translate/understand.  But is the washer really blue?  Or did our Webmaster work his magic on yet another vintage advertisement?   lawrence

Darren, Congratulations!  How about sharing some updated photos of the GE pair after they're cleaned up?   lawrence

Eddie, I agree with Stan, I can't muster the curiosity/courage to open the link.  I'm very sorry that you carry this memory around after all these years, that's some heavy baggage.  Also, that's a terrible event for an 11-year-old to experience.  But I understand how connected that you are to...

Drop Yep.  Drop the washer.  Gravity will take over at that point and the rear feet will level themselves.  You might need to spray WD-40 on all four feet and let it work a while, especially if you find they are frozen.     lawrence

The rear of these machines are 'self-leveling' in that if the machine is tilted forward and then set back down, the rear feet will take care of themselves.  Both of the front feet should have a locking nut on the threaded stem and when the machine is leveled, the locking nuts need to be...

What I learned My curiosity got the best of me and I called the auction company and asked questions.  Here's what I learned:   I explained that I've not used HiBid before and could he walk me through the process.  He explained that if I place a bid, I will then have to register and give a...

General Electric Pics lawrence

The GE pair is from 1976 - the year with the yellow/gold consoles.  The exact pair that I owned when I was fresh out of college.   lawrence

Went With The Wind Carol's line was 'I saw it in the window and just had to have it'!   lawrence

Melvin, Good catch - I missed that detail.  Was there something about top/lid finish that tended to sacrifice the quality?  Did WP tend to use less porcelain and more paint during those years?   lawrence

Matching appliances, very clean - have always loved the color-coded controls!   $350 for the pair in Pensacola, FL.   lawrence https://pensacola.craigslist.org/app/d/gonzalez-whirlpool-washer-and-dryer/7733652584.html
