I sure do recognize that agitator and lint filter in photo #2, from my years of servicing Blackstones! Great collection. Fred

TV I agree with Paul about the Hotpoint TV. The logo was the first thing that I zoomed into. I will have to check some of my old advertising that I saved from our store. I must have something that would add to the mystery.

I found no interest by anyone in purchasing this machine, so I will try to sell it by parts. Motor no good; brake pads worn. With a replacement motor, and brake pads to stop the indexing, this machine would continue to work well. No problem with transmission or bearings. This machine was used...

Anyone interested in buying my 28-year-old Amana washer? I bought a new Speed Queen, and I'm undecided if I want to keep the old Amana in the cellar, or sell it to an interested person. It is sitting in the laundry room, but if you need photos of the interior, I could move the machine. Our...

65 Years of Family Business Records No, I did not throw them away. I saved all the papers (checks, repair and sales receipts, etc.). Someday, I may have to throw out everything, but I have not done it yet. I just don't know who else in the world would be interested in handwritten scribbles from...

John, That's an Incentive... ...but we already scheduled our vacation; leaving for New Hampshire in the near future. I am keeping the Amana as a backup machine, so if your offer still stands next year, I might just go for it. I would really like to see the museum. I have been using the Amana...

Replacement motor arrives today by FedEx. Box is broken. Motor is "cushioned" by deflated air pillows. Plastic motor cover is cracked. The motor shaft is impossible to turn by hand. Scraping noise when shaft is turned with aid of pliers. No other visible damage; repairclinic.com unable to send...

Just bought a TC5000WN I have read and reread the SQ discussion here, and I'm glad that I did. I agree that the mechanical design of the TC is better than the TR redesign. I went into the dealer today, intending to buy the TC5000. The SQ models on the floor were TRs. I had the ask the salesman...

When cleaning out our store, I could have sworn that I junked a machine that looked just like that. I doubt that size machine would have any practical value to anyone.

The motor spins freely by hand, with belts removed. No indication of scraping noise inside. A month ago, when problem first started, the shaft was difficult to spin. Applied oil; thought I fixed the problem. Nope.

For my own curiosity, I need help diagnosing the problem with this motor. The washer is 28 years old, but the motor was replaced in 2005. The color coding of the wires on the motor do match match the colors on the wiring diagram. Symptoms: Buzzing sound at beginning of spin; followed, most...

The bearings on the motor of my Amana washer needed lubrication. I did it last month, and had to do it again this morning. Otherwise, the washer will not go into a spin; the motor will buzz and shut off. Last month, I used a light oil, and was able to spin the motor shaft freely by hand. Today...

I highly doubt that the fire inspector would have approved the placement of that refrigerator.

Did this machine survive? Too bad that I live so far from you, otherwise I would have taken it. My parents and I used to be Blackstone dealers. Fred

350 Washer A couple of photos of a Blackstone 350 washer, which I rebuilt about 10 years ago.

Here are a few of the pictures from when I sold 2 Blackstone dryers, one electric, one gas, still in their unopened boxes, in 2006. I have more pictures of the opening of the dryer box on a CD that I just discovered. This should bring back some memories; it sure does for me.

Check your electric bill after running that air conditioner.

Registered I filled out the online registration form, after having called the dealer for the promotion code. I am assuming that I will receive written acknowledgement of the 10-year guarantee.

Bicentennial Pens We had these bicentennial pens to give to customers; bit hard to read the silver type on the red background, but it's there. These were really good pens. The ink lasted a long time, and the triangular shape of the pen stopped them from rolling around.

All of this discussion is moot, if your house burns down. If you live in a very remote area in which there are no fire hydrants, you could lose your house if a fire breaks out. It's been on the news more than once, where firemen have to depend on filling a tanker from the nearest lake to get...
