Not sure if this has been shared previously, but I stumbled upon this You Tube channel and Westy Laundromat restoration videos. This guy does amazing work and his videos and very well done and interesting. (Just like our Webmaster Robert's are!)

Although one can hang their laundry outside to dry year round here in So Cal, I usually wait until late spring or early summer. That is probably because I was raised on the east coast where one used the dryer or hung in the basement in the winter and it wasn't until the weather got nice in the...

looks like early 50's Maytag automatic https://www.ebay.com/itm/254963597088

Rare Blackstone wringer washer with hydractor agitator...

located in Wisconsin. A bit expensive for its age but looks very well cared for. I bought this same model new in 1985. It is the first generation of Kenmore direct drive washers as it has the clothes guard with a spin drain. Mine did not come with the fabric softener dispenser attachment, they...

First generation of the flat-front Laundromat and redesigned Spacemates. I think this was 1965. Westinghouse turned from a drop-down "weigh to save" door and scale on the washer to a side-opening door to match their dryer. That didn't last too long; they brought back the "weigh to save" door...

Beautiful control panels on this pair. It looks like there is lint in the dryer's filter. Did they run a test load through them before they took the photo? LOL

Wow! Just happened upon this set on an Indianapolis used furniture and appliance store's Facebook page. They are asking $999 for the set and claim they still work! They appear to be in perfect condition on the outside. No interior shots provided. The post is from May 22. If you scroll down...

Beautiful machine that I remember Granny having in her kitchen on The Beverly Hillbillies. Maytags always cost a bit more than other brands with their reputation being built on long-lasting dependability. This machine would cost you about $3500 today. Although many Maytags ran many years...

Sears makes deal with Amazon to sell Kenmore brand appliances through the online marketing giant. http://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/20/amazons-latest-assault-wipes-out-13-billion-off-home-depot-others.html

Just read this on Google News...not a liquid, not a powder....lentil-shaped "power gems." Wonder if this will make it to the states? http://www.reuters.com/article/us-unilever-persil-launch-idUSKBN19D2KL?il=0

August 9 - the electric washing machine turns one hundred years old today - can you guess who had the first patent? http://www.aolnews.com/weird-news/article/get-a-load-of-this-100-year-old-thor-washing-machine/19583305

Saw this on Ebay...with the spiral ramp agitator. Seems like it is in good shape. Looks like the same model as the one featured on our website's "Pic of the Day" department store ad now and then...

Has anyone ever seen one of these Easy-made Westy top loaders? This has to be one of the rarest washing machines. I think they were only made for a year or so. This Tide ad doesn't even have a real photo of the machine, just a drawing. I wonder if it was distributed on a limited, regional basis...

This top loading Haier HE washer looks just like a Maytag inside...except for the extra tub door. http://www.appliancist.com/washers_dryers/haier-top-load-washing-machine.html

I noticed in today's paper that Haier's Genesis top load washer is $399 at Big Lots. The machine hit the U.S. market at about $800 last year. I wonder if it is being discontinued, as is a lot of Big Lots' merchandise. (I remember seeing an ill-fated Whirlpool upright vacuum cleaner there years...

I saw this story on this morning's TV news. Young boy gets stuck in washer and the fire dept used the jaws of life to extract him. They showed what was left of the newer Maytag (looked like an Atlantis model) with plastic tubs -- which was not much, the machine was destroyed. They pointed out...

what next in the way of Tide flavors? Let's combine Dawn dish soap with Tide laundry detergent.

I got this instruction manual for an early 50's Beatty automatic washer...well, automatic after you fill the machine with water...sort of like the early Beam-made machines. It sorta looks like a cousin of the Thor Automagic.

I already posted this in another thread, but decided as an afterthought that it is important and needs it's own heading. One of us here in the club needs to be the new Maytag repairman....check it out! Auditions in LA this weekend....but there is a website to go to also. Come...
