I am considering selling my collection of glass front display panels from Blackstone Elegante washers and dryers, from the 1960s. I thought that I would offer them to members first; although I have probably never seen any of these models featured on the forum. The panels would not be of any use...

Reliability When one lives behind the store, and a Blackstone is used daily, repair work is not a concern. Need to replace a transmission? Just use one in sitting around in the store. Outer tub rusting through? Patch up a spare tub and replace. Bearing in the support disk noisy? Replace the...

They are very reliable, if I must say so myself. I wouldn't say that repairs are simple, especially if you have to lift up the 70-lb. inner tub.

Yes, it is—Blackstone 250.

Any estimate on shipping cost from AZ to Mass.?

First TV that my father sold I remember him saying that he saved the first TV that he ever sold (taken back in trade, I would assume). Might be one of these Stewart-Warners. I have the receipts; but I have to check serial numbers to be sure.

By the way.... These crates contain business correspondence and tax records, which is only a fraction of what I have saved. I also have filed away sales/service receipts; again going back to 1944 (or earlier, back when my father rode his bicycle to fix radios).

Recently, a friend from high school reached out to me, about this very subject. He was faced with paperwork from his grandfather's business (one of the first textile businesses in Springfield). He donated them to Springfield historical museum. The museum has them in a separate collection. I...

Finally got around to storing the paperwork from our family business. Ordered these colorful milk crates to replace the cardboard boxes that I had been using. Stacks neatly on the floor. Zoom into the picture, and you can see that the first box includes correspondence from Blackstone to our...

Stewart-Warner TV Billboard (1952) advertising Stewart-Warner TVs, with my father's store listed. This is in Springfield, Mass., and appears to be next to railroad crossing on Main St.

Great Restoration! I can remember servicing these SQs for customers, but never did a repair job as extensive as this. Excellent work. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

Included in the stuff that I have saved, are quite a few of these glass panels from Blackstone Elégante appliances. Too nice to throw away; probably never will need them; too heavy and fragile to mail; not useful for anything else (unless I built a frame and made a unique window). They do fit on...

Models 60 and 75. Must have been these; according to the Blackstone file inside my head, there weren't any stainless tops subsequent to these models.

I missed the picture. Was it the 350, or a later model?

Well, I have always wanted to go to Australia. FredEx once delivered a new washer motor; it arrived in such bad condition that the shaft would not even turn, and the box looked like it had fell off the truck a couple of times. At least I was then able to sell the motor to the junkyard for a...

Words of advice. Never use this shipping company. I paid them 6 months ago to ship a Blackstone washer shaft to Australia. The package never left the United States, and now it is "lost"; I have lost both the part and my $48.29. Originally back in June, they provided me a pre-printed shipping...

That Someone Must Have Been Me Here is the sales sheet for the 902 model. I have all the sales and service literature for Blackstones, since my father and I used to be Blackstone dealers. You can see our stamp in the corner of the last image. If anyone needs this stuff at higher resolution, I...

Amazing job; an inspiration to all of us!

New sidewalk poured, so I added a Blackstone 250 emblem before the cement dried. My father did the same thing in 1979, to another part of the sidewalk. I think I remember that Jon had seen it. Nice, shiny "Blackstone" looks better than a scrawled-in name. The dime has a 2022 date. I also placed...
