Wow

What an unusual find. It does look just out of the crate. That stem mount and drive shaft are shining. How nice.

Well Louie, I dare say that's the last washer you'll ever *need* to buy.

 

What an awesome score! Congratulations!

 

[Ultramatic]

Thanks Ralph!

<span style="font-size: medium;">But I owe it all to Martin...that's one great guy!</span>

 

[tomturbomatic]

I am so happy for you. Such a find! Such a friend!

 

[Catalanman]

The ultimate test...

Hey Louie let's see if that 1974 Maytag finally get clean that jockstrap, this will be the ultimate test. Congratulations anyway, it looks very nice! Besos.

Stove

Memories...............................

I luv the washing machine in the kitchen next to the stove. I reminds me of when I was a kid growing up in the Bronx. I love the look of the vintage Maytag next to the vintage apt. stove and your GE fridge. Can you show us if possible, a picture of the rest of the kitchen? Best of luck with your new washer.

Lovely machine! (laughs) I was wondering if I was going to have to comment on the jockstrap or if someone else would beat me to it!

 

[jaxsunst]

I grew up with one like that, except it had only Normal and Perm Press cycles and where this one says Automatic, it had regular and gentle buttons.

 

[polkanut]

That looks like Suavitel "Morning Sun" fabric softener in the dispenser.  Great score!!!  Aren't AW.org friends the greatest?

 

[mickeyd]

Wonderful

It's raining and spin draining Maytags at Aworg. How cool!

[Ultramatic]

Thank you all!

 

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">@ Tomturbomatic: yes it was, and he certainly is!</span>

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">@Catalanman: It's NOT my fault you get them so stained.</span>

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">@ Akrionman:Thanks! I will post a picture of the stove. It's a basic contractor model, an early 60's Slattery. </span>

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">@Peter: Thanks Peter! It was so nice seeing you again last Sunday!</span>

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">@Direct Drive Dave: Thank you!</span>

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">@Mtn1584: Thanks Mike. I will post some pic's of the stove and you'll be able to see the kitchen better. It's going to be a bit tight because the kitchen is only 7.5" wide. </span>

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">@MisterEric: Thanks Eric. That first comment on the jockstrap was made by it's owner. He dared me...LOL!</span>

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">@ Polkanut: Yes! You are right on the fabric softener. LOL! Indeed, AW has a lot of great guys!</span>

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">@Mickeyed. Thank you!</span>

Enjoy it mister.
How many loads did you end up doing that day?

Do you have a dryer?

My mother had a machine like that (1965/66 model-year) but with ONE cycle (programme) and two speeds; also replacing the "automatic" button with two buttons [gentle/normal].

(Send me pics of that Royal Rose or Imperial brand stove offline!)

 

[Ultramatic]

I certainly will!

<span style="font-size: medium;">I ran OUT of laundry...LOL!</span>

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">The stove is a Slattery circa 1964. Nothing special, just a contractor model. Manufactured right here in Brooklyn, a few blocks away. Currently I'm looking to replace the knobs, but haven't found the exact ones. I'll post pictures here for all to see. Was really nice finally meeting you last Sunday!</span>

 

 

 

[Catalanman]

I have no idea what are you talking about Ultramatic... My jockstraps are always clean and pure! ;-)

 

[Ultramatic]

Ok....ok...

<span style="font-size: medium;">Yes, they are always clean and pure...</span>

<span style="font-size: medium;">Ooops! Unbalanced!</span>

You're very lucky to find one! I want a 06 or 08 series next, but there are none close by which is a pain. They are all far away. I like the dark tub more than I like the white tub, I know it is smaller capacity, but it just seems nicer to me. Congratulations!
