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...

A friend is selling this refrigerator on Facebook Marketplace. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1597201084099762/?hoisted=false&ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Abb322778-08cd-4113-a99d-da75a5180f80

IH Travelall We used an IH Travelall in our TV/appliance business. Lasted for decades. Very low tailgate made loading a refrigerator very easy. Picture shows the Travelall when newly purchased in 1960.

I have no interest in this eBay listing for a wringer washer. I am posting because this listing for a Speed Queen wringer, model FW2183W, brought back memories of (perhaps) the last new wringer that we sold in our store. In January, 1990, a customer and friend insisted on buying a new wringer...

Handwriting I do not recognize the handwriting in the lower left corner, but the rest of the handwriting in this letter is that of my father. The handwriting never really changed. Another bit of history preserved: When the time came to close the business and sell the building, I transferred...

My father sold in his store a Proctor flat iron in 1947, on account, for $12. Mrs. David Woods made $2 payments, beginning June 1947, until paid-in-full in October 1947.

Looks good to me, right?

I did a quick check on shipping cost to Australia. Minimum cost appears about $40; that would depend on packaging, and if I can keep it under 4 lbs. weight. Just a warning to you. I'm not trying to make any money here; you could just pay for the shipping. Let me know if interested, and I will...

If You Need Another One...... there should be a shaft imbedded within this tree trunk. Many years ago, my father wedged a transmission between tree trunks, in order to loosen the bolts. Left it there. I'm thinking that the shaft should be well preserved!

Is This the Shaft You Need? I'm not an expert on the Australian versions of the Blackstone machines (I always see differences when members post pictures), but that transmission is exactly the same. My pictures show the brand-new shaft that I have, next to a half-meter stick. Without looking at...

Similar to Blackstone? Could you post a photo of the inside, so I can see if it is similar to the Blackstone washers here in the U.S. If so, I might have what you need. Fred Springfield, Mass.

This is my new Craigslist & Facebook Marketplace listing-- Stainless steel tub from Blackstone model 350 washing machine, from the 1950s. Corrugated sides. Opening in base, where agitator post used to be, allows for drainage and ashes. Stainless will never rot. Cast iron base, even if buried...

My Blackstone 350 That I Sold At least 10 years ago, I sold the Blackstone 350 that was used in our family. It was in our kitchen; we lived behind the store (Acme Electronic Co. in Springfield, Mass.). This old AW thread shows that 350, including date stamps inside, showing when my father and I...

Disaster Averted! I can remember way back in the 1980s, when a 50 MB disk crashed at work. Fortunately we kept daily backups, but still your stomach dropped with that sinking feeling of losing a day’s work. But 20 years and 1 million entries! How times have changed! Phenomenal work!

Looking into tub 1. The lint filter is missing; it would have snapped into the opening at the left. 2. There is a "curtain" installed around the inner perimeter of the top; this was a later update, to cut down on splashing. 3. The agitator cap in later years was plastic. This metal one was...

OK, you have part #50461; now, find the rest of the parts... Here is the 12-page parts list and breakdown for model 50A, publication date 12/1946. Let's see how many other parts that you can dig up. The stainless steel tub weighs about 70 lbs., so it might have sunk deeper into the ground. One...
