reply 56 MixGuy--definitely not a Blackstone; I can vouch for that.

Blackstone Petticoat Placed on top of 350 agitator to provide a gentle wash.

Funny Story about metal kitchen cabinets When I was cleaning out my parents' building some years ago, I sold the Geneva metal kitchen cabinets. Maybe 4 or 5 wall cabinets, not the sink. A so-called "doctor" with some type of property in northern Vermont bought them. He specifically wanted metal...

I have this table from 1954..... a sales promotion by Blackstone.

Hey, Facebook people: I have submitted some Blackstone material to this group: www.facebook.com/JamestownRetro The administrator has started to post items that I mailed to him. Interesting to see some comments from Jamestown people, not necessarily appliance people like we are...

I know the feeling from both perspectives.... When cleaning out our family business, I had to choose what appliances to save, and which to dispose of. I am fortunate, in that I had the time to make reasonable choices. I did not have to empty out the building for a quick sale. I had time to...

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
