Jesus, Mary, and saint Joseph, Jenkins That thing is mint! The pushbuttons, the styling, the wow factor: Kenmore really has no equal. Always cherished Whirlpool's humility in so often letting its Kenmore children win the pageant. Would love to hear the story. Thanks.

Look again, Robert ~ That's the double rinsing WO- 65, pre-dating the WO-65-2. The pilot light and the dial are dead giveaways. I spent my infancy and toddlerhood in front of one. Avid watchers see Unimatics for sale from time to time. Lucky enough to own two of them, one of which has a...

Preaching to the choir~ Hello John, Forget the economy and the green-ness, Sudsavers are just plain fun, so unique, such a brilliant engineering breakthrough, so interesting, and so damn dramatic, always surprised at the members who eschew them. As you well know, Whirlpool held up release of...

What wonderful dinner posts! ~ Last week The Young and the Restless, Phyllis's grand daughter revealed that Phyllis insisted she be called Phyllis rather than Gram, etc., which was amusing and striking to me because my grandfather Edmond, insisted that we all call him "ED," not grampa. Unique...

Tap tap tap ~ What time do you change into your cape and start handing out the miraculous loaves to the masses? Here are your Easter Eggs, old friend, the last one courtesy of Mennen for Men and Toppik hairpepperhairpepperhairpepper. Say it real fast like a crazy person--MOI! LOL. Happy...

Burger Loving Wimpy from Popeye the Sailor LOL. You had me going for a minute there, Louis, thinking, does he think I eat too many hamburgers, how does he know I like hamburgers, has Aworg gone full vegan and I didn't get the memo? Then.....OH, wait I LIVE in HAMBURG. PETE, Going to hide an...

Eddie, I drooled ~ Reading this a few weeks back, in anticipation of the imminent Easter feast, including the classic Polish dish of fresh cold bagged sauerkraut, fresh Polish Sausage from the Broadway Market, and crisp sweet sliced apples all baked together in the oven with a portion served...

Glad I made you laugh ! Think it's a fun and punky handle, Jeannine, brining a smile to someone clicking on Spacepig and finding out your name is Jeannine. Why not keep it since it's so edgy and wild. Pretty sure it was about three Good Fridays ago when you listed the Turquoise GM Frigidaire...

Oh, I gotcha,Tom, Thanks. The timer would be nice lest one forget and leave the iron running. Ouch! It looked way too new to have been the original, pretty cool and handy nevertheless.

panel; there ;'D No run-ons allowed. The punctuation police will be after me, LOL

Synchronicity In the fall, my niece and her new family bought a big old house in the once Tony section of North Buffalo with servants quarters and the whole 9 yards. I’ve been there a bunch of times but on the weekend Meegan had a party and called me into the old pantry to show me this relic...

Rightsideup Glenn, Thanks ~ That real Norge in the back is the bomb and glamorous. (Playful & Rhetorical):Why is he selling the obvious imposter? He's also selling a real Speed Queen as you've probably seen.

Hello Jeannine ~ Always loved how I wrongly thought you were a guy with a name like spacepig, but you're not. Good for you! LOL. That is one beautiful GE. Justs nuts over the elevated control panel, so befitting the General of Electric. Thanks again for the wonderful machine you once listed...

1964 was one glorious Norge. Be fun to see one of those in the flesh. Great work, Louie! Appreciate you.

Here's what you were looking for and it's not too far from you. Looks pretty sweet. https://hibid.com/lot/151372853/antique-ge-washing-machine-circa-1930s?ref=lot-list

Popped the Surgilator later in that day just for jollies

Nabbed that model right in my own back yard so to speak; 'tis a 55, but me thinks the wringer in your post is an add on because I haven't seen the full chrome until later--the 60's--but hey, we all know the surprising vagaries of Kenmore variety so maybe the full chrome deck was available that...

Guineas A lot of thumpers went down under, so it's probably Australian where gns were still in use. Love that version of the Sudssaver with the square hook that fits over the tub to pump back the hot sudsy wash water. The lid hinge is the one on the much older WO -65's. Interesting!

Hello Jon ~ Saw you in the photo of the 2007 Tuscon Wash-in. Had no idea you were around way back then, too young I thought. Fun Surprise ! A few years ago, nephew James brought me a 1-18 that leaked like the proverbial sieve. No matter. The spray rinse, my favorite 1-18 thing, worked...

What a spectacular way to celebrate Monday Washday, Ben. Actually breath-taking. What a glorious Speed Queen, the big lighted dials reminiscent of Blackstone Royalist's. Didn't know about the exuberant double overflow rinse, such a treat, and the vigorous iconic Speed Queen turnover with those...
