Mickeyd What is the model number of your wringer? I must have information about it. If so, I could send it to you. I haven't gotten into my wringer yet, other than lifting up the agitator. I'll probably take out the motor first, just to see how (if?) it runs with no load. Needs a drain hose...

I bought myself a birthday present that was delivered today. A Blackstone wringer washer, model 132AP. It looks very similar to the model 136 shown in the attached sell sheets. In spite of the fact that we sold Blackstone wringers in our store, I honestly do not remember servicing or delivering...

I sold a toaster for $300.,,. When I was clearing out my parents’ store, I sold a few of the T-20 style automatic toasters. One was still in its unopened box. The buyer paid $300 (or so), with the stipulation that the box was never opened. I wonder if the buyer had an X-ray machine to see...

Simon, I'm not the expert on the cabinet design and model numbers that are used in Australia; I need to see the insides! Other members can help you in that regard. My father sold Blackstones since the 1950s, up until the company went out of the appliance business in the mid-1970s. The models...

Blackstone-Based Design? Are you looking for a Hoover that is based on the Blackstone design? I would be interested to hear if you acquire one, since our family business was a Blackstone dealer here in the U.S. This picture is of a Hoover, showing a different pump than what was used here in...

Quasar Remote.... Perhaps this one will work?

The transmission pictured was given to me; it is not from my complete machine (which has not leaked in 28 years).

Does what you need look like this?

Yes, I have an additional used transmission. I will take a picture of it and post.

I decided that I do not want to keep my old washer, and offering it free, to anyone who wants to pick it up. It needs a new motor, and brake pads are relatively ineffective. I replaced this machine with a new Speed Queen last October, and kept the old one, intending to get a motor. I changed my...

John I think you might be right. I seem to remember the dryer being wider. In addition, the dryer door has the extra piece to fit inside the round opening. Probably designed to keep tumbling clothes inside the rotating drum. Best I can offer is some advertising material.

What a shame about the condition of the dryer? Will you be able to restore the doors? I have doors from the 250 washer. Pretty sure the same doors fit the dryer. Can't help you about the mangle, though.

Speaking of Hazel and Color..... ....back in the 1960s, when TV shows widely adopted broadcasts in color, Hazel was one of the first to have the yellow color prominently used. The yellow color was difficult to reproduce in 60s color TVs. I remember my father pointing this out; I can't verify...

Thanks to John & Ben I took your advice, and listed the stove at $125. Sold in one day, with no haggling on the price.

You are correct, sir. The model number is JBS55DM2WW. When I list this stove, are there any special features that I should emphasize? I need a good reply to whoever says, "But, it's a 10-year-old stove."

John, I know that $20 sounds cheap, but most people responding to CL or FB ads are also cheap. I'll advertise for maybe $50, but settle for $20. Unfortunately.

Model JBS550M2WW. Serial AT2 026940. I just got this stove from a friend of my brother; looks clean enough to be in good working order, but I don't have 220v to test it. Offering it first to anyone here. If no takers, then Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. Stock image; I could provide...

Renovation vs. New Install The article argues against gas stoves/appliances, but these arguments would only be applied (practically) to new installations. The cost of replacing gas with electric would be prohibitive, considering the existing risk of keeping the gas. In my situation, an old...

I suppose that the facts in this article are true, but are we really going to phase out gas stoves in all households and businesses? In our lifetimes? https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2020/5/7/21247602/gas-stove-cooking-indoor-air-pollution-health-risks

1960 International Harvester Travelall. Not quite in the same class as the other wagons pictured here, but this one could easily carry a refrigerator. Very low tailgate, since the gas tank was under the second row of seats. My father bought it in 1960, and kept it for 30 years.
