Christina.........she looks so pretty sitting there with her shaded front and perfect control panel. :-)

I didn't mean to hijack this thread sorry. I am computer challenged.

We had one more night time trip to try and get a Maytag J model wringer but someone beat us to it. I won't go into the rest of the trip but it turned out to be quite laughable even though we didn't snag the wringer.

Christina came with me the night we went to get this beauty. Turned out to be an interesting trip.

Back to 1974 It was Christina's sharp eyes that caught this and alerted me so I able to get this.

Yes Mike I am the guilty party in this adventure. Hi Bob to you also. I often think back to the wash-in we had years ago when you were all here and what fun we had.I hope you are doing well. Unfortunately we discovered that Poppy(the original) was in the process of grinding up her insides to...

Christina, I am glad we got the machines inside before the big snow storm on New Year's eve. R

Christina, The tub cleaned up beautifully. Was it hard to get the crud off? I still am thrilled you got the agitator off. :-) Good show! R

This has been a very interesting thread indeed. The Blackstone in the first video is mine and is still alive and well. I recently had a repairman here for warranty work on my Speed Queen 542 and when he saw all the washers he said"Oh you have a Blackstone." He told me he had been doing this for...

Nate, There are some nice DD Kenmores on Craigslist. :-) R

Ralph, I just hope it doesn't wear a circle in the kitchen floor tile. R

Nate, Since when do we need fabric softener dispensers.......just take the cap off the bottle of softener and set the bottle on the machine(with lid open).....during the first spin it will dispense itself! R

Kevin, Thank you for posting that great video of my Blackstone. You did a superb job with it. It is a fun washer to see operate. Just got back from Greg's in Omaha where a bunch of us had a wonderful time welcoming in 2012 by doing laundry and a lot of dishes! Roger

And the tub shot.

Not BOL........but still fun to see in real life one of the machines from the 70's brochure. Here is my WWA8450V programmed washer.

We had a great time on Saturday. Kevin it was good to meet you finally. Glad you got home with your truckload of goodies which(another clue)were not made in China. Come back anytime. Roger

Greg, Thanks again for a great week. It was so good to all be together again and meet some new friends as well. The pictures bring it all back......it was great fun. I got back to Tucson about 7:30pm to a malfunctioning KDS20........hmmmmm. And some "fur children" who were glad to see me. Thanks...

Robert, This is absolutely fascinating to see the inside of the drive mechanism. Copper bellows.........never expected that. Thank you for all the pictures. Roger

I have the same washer bought in Jan. of 1977 and it has been equally reliable. In the picture of the agitator post I don't see the spring clip that goes on top of the steel washer to hold both the seal and washer down against the agitator shaft collar. I think without the clip the seal might be...

Nate, I see the bolts came out..........with minor or was it major aggravation? Roger
