A Birthday Present for Austin, albeit a bit early.

[retromom]

Robert, thank you doesn't even come close!

Robert:

Words cannot express how I feel! Your gift has left Austin at a loss for words (a rare occurence indeed)! It will be fantastic to see his face when he actually opens up the box! I know that this wonderful washer will be cherished by him forever (and hopefully by his children and grandchildren)!

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity! You are the best!

Venus :-D

You guys are very welcome Venus. Now that's an interesting thought, passing our favorite vintage machines onto our next generation, like the passing the family silver! Except with these be sure to include a handtruck!

 

[coldspot66]

Speaking of hand trucks Robert, what brand is the handtruck in the pic? Is it an Escalera? Would like to get me one of those! Hope you see this or you can email me. Thanks!

 

[retromom]

Back at ya Pete!

Hope you're doing well too! You're hanging out with a pretty wild bunch up there in NY!! LOL

Happy wash-ins and have fun!

Venus

 

[goatfarmer]

I'd say he's pretty excited.....

 

[angus]

A wonderful and most thoughtful gift. Austin- I hope you enjoy every washload with that machine - and Robert, my hat is off to you!!

 

[drmitch]

Happy Unimatic Birthday Austin! You and Robert are both great guys!

 

[lavamat_jon]

OH MY GOD!!!

Austin you are so damn lucky!!! Congratulations - I bet that will be your best birthday present yet! (And if it isn't I'd like to know what was LOL).

Any room for an Englishman at the Wilder residence? LOL

Congratulations! And Happy Birthday for the 27th!!

Jon :-D

 

[launderess]

Happy, Happy, Happy

Birthday Austin!

Such a wonderful gift for a wonderful boy who has a wonderful mother! Many happy returns and of course, washes.

Now you need a box of vintage Dash detergent!

[geextrarinse]

WOW!!!

Thats the sweetest thing!

A Very Happy Birthday Austin from your fellow Dispensall fan in NY! So are you going to be 17 or 18?

Have lots of fun with it and we need a full report with pictures VENUS!! We want to see his face upon opening it!

Have a great one!

Matthew
NYC

 

[westytoploader]

Great complements...thanks!!!

Jon, plenty of room here; you're welcome across the pond when I do the next wash-in!!! Plenty of UK detergents to use too!

Matt, I'm going to be 17 on the 27th, and it couldn't be at a better time. Definitely the best birthday present I have ever received! Btw, the Dispensall is washing much better (and much splashier)!!! Stay tuned...

Laundress, thanks for reminding me...I can't wait to try Jetcone's Dash!!!

 

[appnut]

Austin, I'm speechless. Venus you Vixen. Bryan can you say road trip!!!

 

[kenmore1978]

Happy Birthday!

After picking my jaw up off the floor, I must say I knew this group was special, but this is the icing on the cake! I'm cominig to the next wash-in if I have to CRAWL there!

 

[partscounterman]

Austin-TRY not to open it until the big day

and

Venus-Pics, movies whateva of the boy opening up the crate!

Is there any other boards were the members are this close? I am speechless at the kindness that has been shown around here and you know who you are.

Oh, no one picked up on my convention suggestion- Venus, don't you WANT to cook for 70 people? (Just think of all those dishes!)

Robert-You are the glue that holds this all together! I am hoping that an Apex Bouncing Basket is just waiting for the next estate sale! Could we hope for MIB?

 

[kenmore1978]

dishes

for 70 people wouldn't be TOO bad, remember, they have TWO dishwashers

 

[retromom]

A convention.....me?

The thought of a convention has me shaking in my Reebocks, especially since Omaha was so wonderful! Perhaps a mini-regional wash-in when the Texas heat isn't so murderous! LOL

Time for the extreme makeover; on the house, that is! ;-)

Venus

PS Austin will *definitely* be caught on tape (or digital) as the Unimatic pulls into the garage! Hopefully he won't faint!:-0

 

[filterflo]

Welcome to the world of Unimatic owners Austin. You will love it, as its such a fabulous mechanical design.......Enjoy!

 

[tlee618]

Hi Venus, Not to worry, it really isn't that hard to do a convention, just takes some planning and the memories are well worth it. Let me know and I will be glad to come and help you all. Terry

 

[pdub]

Congratulations and Happy 17th Birthday in advance.
The Gods are smiling upon you!

[petek]

Chrisfr

LOL,, I see an Oster blender on that sideboard, a vintage one or new? and a HB mixer..is it in Pink.hard to see.

 

[mayken4now]

Yes, Yes, Yes Venus

Well my dear, It is your Son, and we all agree, due to the super natural love of off the machines collected, I will come from Florida and Help you with the convention!

My Brother lives near Houtson (Angelton). So help is on the way.

Austin, how are you feelin before the 27th? Have you decided to not open the packaging until then? I have Glenn going to check up on you and make sure it is held until then!!! LOL OK

Steve

 

[westytoploader]

Chris, beautiful machines in the display!!! Yes, I'm probably going to baby the WO-65-2 until it's hooked up...;-)

 

[JerseyMike]

Wow!!!

Happy birthday, Austin. What a wonderful birthday present. Enjoy!

And, Robert -- you never cease to amaze me. My hat's off to you. What a wonderful legacy you've created. I'm overwhelmed at the thought that some of these amazing manchines will be around into the next century. Thanks!

Mike

 

[jdinstl]

You people never cease to amaze me!

What an awesome birthday gift, Robert! Awesome too, is the fact that it is going to someone who will appreciate it with the same care and knowledge that you do. Austin, you contribute so much to this board and to what it stands for, helping people with appliance issues, encouraging folks, technical advice, and so forth -- it sure is great to see the full circle of Good Karma.

Austin, I know how you must be feeling right now -- I felt the same way when Chris gave me a front loader machine. Here's a pic of it next to my Laundromats! :-D He isn't joking when he calls them his kids -- he cut short dinner with me one evening because he had promised to tuck them in and read them a bedtime story.

 

[christfr]

to funny

i see john has a fun washer key chain how cool..and yes you can say that i do baby the wo65 and the westy dishwasher..all my washers are on piano dollies so i can roll them about..and the wo gets used sort of the same way you use a portable dishwasher..till i can hook them up like they are supposed to be this will have to do..but it works for now..i have all kinds of toys in the living room and dinning room..yep thats a pink mixmaster and my 2 dollar old oster..i dont have much time to play but i know someone who will make time, and thats austin..i got such a kick out of him at the convention..hes a great guy and im so glad hes going to take over where we leave off.. one day that is ha ha.. happy b day !!!!
