About month ago my much appreciated Hoover Constellation vacuum was crippled when the hose plastic (after almost 20 years) began disintegrating and the hose literally fell apart. Of course the Constellation has been discontinued and even though the vac still works just fine, finding a...

Eurekastar Eurekastar: What model do you have?

Sorry Jerry... Sorry I couldn't make it Jerry. I do look forward to them, but later in June works best for me, but I'm just me. Sorry it looks like no one else showed up? I do really hope to make it to Pittsburgh Wash In 2017!

Glad everyone had a good time Looks like fun and productivity was had by all. Sorry I missed it!

Unfortunately..... I won't be able to make it this year. Look forward to next year's though! Have a blast.

thanks again... Thanks again to Jerry and Tom for their generous hospitality. Learn new things every time. Looking forward to next year.

Hope to be there! Looking forward to attending this year for the 2nd time!

Unfortunately It looks like I will not be able to make it this year at the moved up date. Please extend my best wishes to those who are there. I'm sure you'll have a blast.

Yeah.. I have two other identical units (but in worse shape inside) that I got as parts donors. The worst one on the inside works just fine, while the next better perks fine but doesn't stay in keep warm mode for more than 15 seconds before perking a few more seconds then keep warm, etc...

Selector It does have a selector and I believe a fuse or some other adjustable selector on the bottom. The unit does not really look like it has seen high mileage (compared to some of the other ones I've seen) but its got to be from the 1960s so age I'm sure has played a factor.

For the percolator experts... I recently acquired a nice (I'm guessing 60s vintage) GE 25p50 percolator. The unit is in good shape cosmetically and internally, but has suffered a mechanical failure. I used it once to clean it out (with dishwasher powder, worked wonders) and it completed a...

I've got full set of Spring Blossom Green that was my grandparents with the closed handled cups, while my grandparents bought my parents a set of Butterfly Gold with the open handled cups. My parents never used the cups as my dad always complained the KitchenAid dishwasher would and could blow...

Like wise to what's already been said... Had a great time and meeting some members from the A.W. Community. Looking forward to the next one.

Indeed. Spoken like a veteran of many Ebay bid wars. Luckily I have a Plan B.

I tried to get it, but was out bid at the last second and wasn't near the computer to return the favor. The hunt continues. . .

Montgomery Wards wringers are basically rebadged Speed Queens? They look very familiar. Am I right?

Anyone in the club get this?

I've always heard to button all buttons and zip all zippers and basically fold the clothes so that the fabric is covering the buttons/zippers to avoid them being ripped off. (I'm going from memory from when I was 6 [under my grandmother's supervision]).

May have to jump on this.... I've been wanting to acquire a wringer for quite some time and this one looks to be in excellent condition. As this would become a frequent driver (if not daily) my only hesitation is that this brand is obscure (parts?) compared to the ubiquitous Maytags, but is...
