Very clean. Habitat for humanity re-store in Littleton CO. $100

The "Automatic" cycles on my daily driver 1987 LE5800S have never worked to my liking. The clothes are always damp after the cycle has finished. This dryer uses the thermostat for automatic dryness control. For example the timer advances if the thermostat is open and the heater is off...

Playing around with a new waterproof camera case. I kind of feel sorry for my clothes.

I've started to notice what looks like small rust spots on some of my laundry after washing. Upon inspection, I notice some rust starting to appear around a few of the perforation holes in the tub. I'm thinking that perhaps the rust is being transferred to my clothes during the final spin. Is...

Does anybody have any experience with these OnGard systems? http://www.ongard.biz/about.html

I've always loved old box fans. Over the years I have collected many. I've never seen one with this many features before. It was pretty rough. I just finished a complete restoration. I think the only that I didn't have to fix was the speed selector. Does anyone have any guesses as to the age?

Can anyone recommend a place to get a rebuilt Direct Drive transmission? There are a couple of active sellers on Ebay right now but I just don't know anything about the quality of their parts. Thanks!

I finally found the time to finish my Whirldry. I posted a video link below. Here are a few things I have learned about this washer: 1. It agitates at 144 strokes per minute. 2. It spins at 490 revolutions per minute. 3. The motor is completely and easily serviceable. It is easy to oil...

I just acquired a 1940's Easy Whirldry washer from a thrift store. It agitates and spins, but has an oil leak. I have a couple of questions: 1. Has anyone ever taken apart one of these transmissions? 2. What weight of oil did Easy use in these? 3. Any ideas where I might be able to find...

This one caught my attention. Does anyone know anything about this model? http://denver.craigslist.org/app/1989723970.html

I'm thinking about purchasing this set. Can anyone tell if it's a Franklin or (hopefully) a thumper? http://fortcollins.craigslist.org/for/1868638480.html

The picture isn't too good. Does anyone know anything about these? http://cosprings.craigslist.org/app/1761705196.html

I noticed that my 1987 is starting to leak a small bit of oil from the transmission. I have two questions: 1. How much oil can I lose from the transmission before I need to worry about it? 2. If I were to pull the transmission and fix the gasket, is there anything else I should replace at...

I can't tell from the picture. http://denver.craigslist.org/app/1745520830.html

The owner claims that it's a 1961. He says the outer tub has a rust hole in it. I don't see too many old machines for sale around here, so I am thinking about getting it. What do you guys think? Is it worth while, or is it just a big rusty piece of Swiss cheese?

There must be hundreds of old washer newspaper ads on Google News. If you've got a few hours to kill, you really should check it out. It's quite entertaining. Just keep away from the "pay-per-view" pages. Here is an ad clearing out the '57 Frigidaires in '58...
