AHHHHH!

So close and yet so far!!!

Long Island isn't very far from here. Did I ever mention how much I HATE living in an apartment that doesn't allow washing wachines!?! (I'm not a gambler, but I need to start playing the lottery so I can afford to move.)

WoW! I remember those in laundries all around Atlanta back in the late '50's and early '60's. That thing looks right out of a time-machine! A 300 mile radius from Long Island would only be a "day trip"!

Waaaaahhhhhhh, every time I click on the auction get some message that the item is restricted in my home country by eBay.

From the tumbnail shot it looks like a wonderful unit, but large. How does this behemoth work? Is it bolt down?

YAY! Way to go Jon, hope you win it!

Are you planning to let your tenants use this? After all, it is a coin-op! ;-)

I'm gonna try

It's so close from Boston I can pick it up and it will compliment my 1950 Stramliner Boltdown, one in white -- one in Laundromat Blue! What a year for machines.
Thanks for all the wishes we'll see what happens in the big world of ebay.
How many more do you think this guy has?? Who would rebuild and recrate a machine like this?? ( I know I shouldn't be asking that question but come on were out in the real world now. I think it must have been the Laundromat owner himself because he saw the economic investment not the collectability).

I have asked the seller how he came by this machine but he hasn
't responded yet if I hear I'll pass it along.

So this will be the living room machine, Jon?

 

[jetcone]

Yes Peter, you and all guests will have to sleep with me and the Dog when you come up.

Go Jet!

 

[jetcone]

Well.....

I did my best but my best wasn't good enough! Back to the restoration room and thank heavens I have a ton of machines to keep me busy!

I am curious as to the value of said product.

Is it like the members said the value of a item is what one would pay for it.

Bottom line: Did the buyer get as the saying goes "fleeced".

 

[jetcone]

fleeced

Thats what an auction is all about!
