Long Way from Chicopee David, There is only 1 Home Depot in Chicopee, so it would be the same store. Whatever brought you up here to Chicopee? What struck me about your comment is actually finding a check-out register with employees. Whenever I go to HD (mostly in West Springfield), you have...

This dryer installation by Home Depot was posted on Facebook, for Chicopee, Mass. Picture by customer.

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.

Coin-op Dryer: Sell sheet for dryer.

Coin-op Washer: Sell sheet for washer.

Coinbox Tom, My father drilled a hole in the top the coinbox, and put knob onto the timer shaft, so the washer could be easily started. Would have been more fun to just use quarters, however!

Personally, I had never seen a Philco-branded Blackstone; but that machine is definitely a late-model Blackstone (perforated tub). My father bought one for the store, just to have it on display. Eventually sold it to a personal friend, who needed a supply of quarters on hand to do the laundry...

Blackstone Dryer This model was neither the first one made, nor the last one made. Probably early 1970s, but I'd have to check. Latest models did not have the foot pedal. Fairly basic dryer. One frequent problem was the metal ring that was part of the drum support would wear out. There was a...

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.

What a great collection and display. Having serviced appliances for so many years, I can appreciate the very clean basement. No laying in dirt and trash when working on that floor. The Blackstone 350 has a great stainless steel top--that gives you another workbench!

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...

Blackstone As mentioned above, our family had a TV/appliance store in Spingfield, Mass. and we were Blackstone dealers; from the 1950s (just before my time), until the mid-1970s, when Blackstone went out of the appliance business. I have manuals and literature for most all Blackstones. Parts...

Read the Article That was a very interesting article, whether or not you may agree with the value of pennies. On a slow news day like today, the article is worth taking the time to read. Personally, I don't spend pennies. I put them into a piggy bank, let it fill up, and after a few years(?) I...

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...

Yes, it pulls the tub mount and tub, up the shaft. The tub mount is probably corroded.

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...
