Removed and Cleaned There was a slight buildup of soap scum underneath the agitator. While I was there, I removed each bolt holding the stainless drum, and put oil on the threads before screwing back in. Don't want those bolts to get corroded into place.

We always wrapped a strap underneath the agitator, in order to have something tangible to grab onto. It's never easy.

I would like to remove my agitator from my 1-year-old SQ, just to clean underneath. Then I read this statement in the manual: "The agitator should not be removed except for service. The washtub is designed to be self cleaning." Seriously? Has anyone ever removed an agitator on any machine, and...

If anyone does go for it, I have sales literature and service info for it. Price too high for me.

Electrolux Database? I purchased this collection of Electrolux vacuums and parts, and I would like to make some sort of inventory of model numbers. What is the best database that lists model numbers, years of manufacture, etc.? I'm looking to save 1 or 2 for myself, and selling and/or parting...

I have not gotten around to testing them, other than grabbing the top one on the pile and plugging it in. It worked. I did not check model numbers, so if you need a part, could you email me a picture of what you need? Then I would know what I'm looking for. Might have something similar. The 2...

Look what I bought

From the Wall St. Journal; I'm not sure if this article is behind a paywall. If so, I could copy and paste the text. https://www.wsj.com/articles/ge-appliances-turns-up-the-speed-on-supply-chain-upgrade-11606326996?mod=hp_minor_pos13

Seller is asking $30 for this collection. Looks like a great find to me. https://westernmass.craigslist.org/clt/d/longmeadow-electrolux-lot/7236830124.html

People Person Excellent point, about being a "people person." Perhaps this trait is more likely in someone who is self-employed, rather than in an employee. I used to go on calls with my father in our business (self-proprietorship); often the conversation with the customer was longer than the...

The first stainless steel top. Serial number 570. Prior to this date, sales were of 250s, which still continued to be sold. For the 350, $211.94 wholesale price; $369.95 retail price. For some reason, my father took a trade-in of an Easy washer, reducing the price to $258.50, with $100 down payment.

Were you in Springfield Mass. today???? When I took our dog out at noontime, and old black Cadillac drove in front of me. I just got a quick look at the taillights, but I swear that it looked exactly like yours!

I prefer unsalted butter, although I do not use much of it; spread it very thin on toast. What I have noticed over the past few months is the inability to find unsalted soft butter (in a plastic container, not in sticks). I used salted soft butter, and I could taste the difference immediately...

Check your Blackstones to see if your model/serial numbers are included here! I was determining when my father first started selling Blackstones in our store. I posted the receipt for the Ironer in my other thread: December 1952. These receipts are all from 1953; showing model numbers, serial...

December 1952 Blackstone Ironer In my search for Blackstone receipts from our store, I found this receipt for a Blackstone ironer. It is for a model 180C, according to the receipt from the wholesaler. List price was $176; my father sold it for $130. This is the earliest mention of a Blackstone...

Anybody in the area that might be interested in these parts, I'll sell for cheaper than the CL asking price. Parts left over from when I cleaned out our store. I don't make any service calls anymore, so I don't need to save these. I could ship them, but I doubt that the cost would be reasonable...

Barry I forgot to list Mrs. Murphy's. Yes, it is a long ride just for donuts, but it could be paired with a trip to the Summer House. Definitely give Bob's Bakery a try. They have been in downtown Chicopee for 50 years. Ever since the pandemic started, our local Dunkin Donuts on Congress St...

If you are driving on Rt. 5 in West Springfield, Mass., you must stop at Donut Dip. Nearby Chicopee has Bob’s Bakery for all pastry, especially pączki at Easter time. Of course, Dunkin’ Donuts are located on virtually every corner here in Mass. I fill out their short survey and get a free...

Mike, Bunch of files should be accessible to you through a link sent to your email. Enjoy the reading. If anyone else wants these files, I could send a link to your email. I have uploaded them to sendspace.com, a free service for transferring large files. The link self-destructs after a week...

Mickeyd: I have a series of scans already on my computer, all related to the 330 (sell sheet, parts list/breakdown, troubleshooting). Did I ever send you this stuff? Message me your email address and I can send it all to you. Fred
