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

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.
