Westy, Venus and Dadoes Thanks for sharing your pix and glad y'all had a good time at the Texas Washin. Maybe we could get together sometime-us'ns from Louisiana (not far) would like to come-maybe Alr from N.O. and appnut Bob and anyone else who wants to come down. Just a thought.

Blackstone-a couple of questions Quite an interesting machine there. I've heard of them but never actually saw one. It (I did look at this the other night) had an unusual looking basket-did it spin dry or squeeze dry? And on that neutral drain, what prevented clothes from getting caught...

thanks Robert. Cascade didn't have the yellow packaging very long did they?

thank you Jaune And everyone else for contributing pressure recipes-woo! We are all getting quite a collection now. Like many of you, I'm a novice at pressure cooking. I love it, but wished I had sprinted for a six quart. Well there's no law saying you can't have 2 cookers; we have 3 crockpots...

What year was this ad? I haven't seen a man inspecting the clean dishes before either. Looks like this machine was one of the first mobile-maids, but I don't really know. Saw my first one in 1960, it had a pink interior and lasted until the early 80's with regualr use.

ewwwwww! Hmmm. Cut off switches on washers during wash and rinse and spin. Maybe doing away with the spin brake on all of them now and winding up with an indexing tub.

I first enccountered SQ in the service. In the barracks I lived in we had a laundry room with 3 washers and 3 dryers. The washers were all SQ and the dryers KM. I was impressed by the heavy duty look and construction of the washer and the SS solid tub. What rreally blew me away was the overflow...

They say it's your birthday! Happy birthday, compwhiz! May there be a classic washer and dryer in your future!

Now that's a spooky stove! Oh God, I would have freaked out. But I guess these things can happen with the digital oven controls. They're on mine to-I really like the accuracy-so far bakes like a dream. But I'm going to keeep my eye on it just in case...

Genetic Manipulation? I'm not sure Louis, but it sounds like as good of an explanation as anyLOL.

I remember seeing 2 gas Kenmore combos in the movie "mommy dearest", in Joan Crawfords home. I remember seeing the little blue star inside the open door of one of them in a scene where the daughter was doing laundry. And a neighbor of ours in Arizona had one also. I think that was the first...

That loud, huh?

chuggin' The 58 in the see it wash videos is one of the coolest if not the coolest machine. The pause after filling, then the little electrical buzz, then the chug chug chug of the unimatic. Oh how cool is that? I just love this machine-hope to find one someday close by-in yellow. BTW I enjoy...

Just thought of one.. Who remembers Bonus? I believe they contained free towels and washcloths. Wasn't it a Proctor and Gamble product? I can't remember using it. I saw it in some peoples laundry rooms.

Austin/Venus Sorry to be responding so late about the noise of the WP-I think in general, portables are noisier than built-ins having all 4 exposed sides instead of one. Now there are certain makes and models which I'm sure are the exceptions to the rule, but I can still remember a 1970...

Scott these sound yummy! Thanks for sharing your recipe, will make some at first chance.

Somebody help me Exactly when did Whirlpool start making dishwashers? I know they have at least been around since 1960, but before that?

Coldspot Hardwick gradually improved its line in later years-the Romano stove was from the early 50's. Hardwicks were a no-frills stove in those days. No window in oven, you lit oven yourself, no timer no clock. But the thing weighs a ton, I know I've moved one. Magic Chef's hqs and plant were...

This is a great one, folks. Any of you guys living in nearby (Joliet, Ill) ought to consider this one, if you like gas. I wish to God I had room and transport for all these-I like stoves like my friends here in the group like washers(of course I love these old machines) But I do fancy myself as...

The Romano stove Hi Chad-I believe the stove on the show was a hardwick-something tipped me off about it. If I remember correctly it had the back removed and was painted in avocado-originally that stove was probably offered only in white-Hardwicks were a budget brand version of Magic Chef. Once...
