I'm thinning out my collection of these power cords. I'll never use this many. I'll save a few for myself. Let me know if interested, and what you would offer for them. Offering them here, before I list on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist.

There are a number of Blackstone parts available on eBay. Search for "Blackstone Appliances" and the parts are listed by username "bmapplia_48". I contacted him, and asked if he was a member of this group.

I am in possession of a Blackstone model 193 electric dryer--matching model for a 350 washer. I am uncertain what to do with it. I obtained it about a year ago. Converted the wiring to run on 110, intending to use as a source of heat in the cellar. I do not have 220. Results were...

Fascinating article about U.S. pennies; including their use in GE washers. Anyone every find one of these machines that had pennies replacing copper washers? https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/01/magazine/worthless-pennies-united-states-economy.html

In the market for a GE dehumidifier, 35 pint. Came across these 3 model numbers. What is the difference between the models? Date of manufacture? Would the higher letters (LB vs LA; HR vs HL) signify a newer production date? Can't really look online, since those website ask for serial numbers...

Anyone need this Blackstone tub puller? Used on the latest model Blackstones (902, etc.), with perforated tub and diecast tub mount. This puller has 2 bolts that go through the tub mount. Tightening the screw on top pulls up the tub/tub mount (hopefully). If you ever had to work on this problem...

Not exactly my definition of "hazardous materials," but I guess it's the times we live in. If the link is behind a paywall, the article is about a 1940s refrigerator leaking sulfur dioxide in New Bedford, Mass. basement...

I have this label from an Easy Vacuum Electric Washer, Model M. I had to Google what a vacuum electric washer was. Interesting mechanism. The label says that patent was 1912. Any idea of when this model was manufactured, in Syracuse? eBay prices for this model are quite high. I'm trying to...

May 2, 1954, newspaper ad for Blackstone washer. Promotional deal to get a mahogany fold-down table. Both Blackstones and the furniture were manufactured in Jamestown, New York. Note from the ad just how many dealers were listed, including our family business, Acme Electronic. Pictures of the...

Since I have an interest in anything named Blackstone, I was curious when I found this label. It refers to a cigar company. In the early 20th century, it was the largest cigar manufacturer in New England, according to Wikipedia. Charles Henry Bond drowned in a bathtub in 1908.

I have this appliance, which was sold in our store. I remember my mother using this on our kitchen floor, to polish the wax on the square tiles. Universal model VC8720; made by Landers, Frary, and Clark, New Britain, Conn. Any thoughts on the value and desirability of this?

Blackstone 193 electric dryer has returned home after 17 years! I sold it (still in its original box) when cleaning out our family business in 2006. I would like to convert the dryer to run on 110, since I don't have 220 in my house. I would just use the dryer as a source of heat in the cellar...

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 into the ground, will outlast you. At 65 lbs., hardly likely...

The compressor on my less-than-1-year-old GE dehumidifier stopped working. I'm waiting to see how much GE will offer, since there is a 1-year guarantee. The rebate would only apply toward the purchase price of a new one. So, I figured out a way to get the compressor working--just bypass the...

I am considering selling my collection of glass front display panels from Blackstone Elegante washers and dryers, from the 1960s. I thought that I would offer them to members first; although I have probably never seen any of these models featured on the forum. The panels would not be of any use...

Finally got around to storing the paperwork from our family business. Ordered these colorful milk crates to replace the cardboard boxes that I had been using. Stacks neatly on the floor. Zoom into the picture, and you can see that the first box includes correspondence from Blackstone to our...

Included in the stuff that I have saved, are quite a few of these glass panels from Blackstone Elégante appliances. Too nice to throw away; probably never will need them; too heavy and fragile to mail; not useful for anything else (unless I built a frame and made a unique window). They do fit on...

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...
