Hi everybody - so I've moved from NYC and am recooperating in my home town of Wilkes-Barre, PA. I've already informed my parents I'd be making room in the basement to bring home some old machines and restore them. I remembered an old appliance parts shop from when I was in high school and decided to see if it was still there. He had all sorts of old agitators and stuff in the windows but this was 10 years ago. I drove up N. Main street and it not olny was there but after all these years has been closed and the parts still remain right where I remember them. But, since being a member of this club, I've had such a renewed appreciation that looking into those windows was like a kid at christmas! It looks like I'll finally get my 70's filter flo as early as next week! - he has an old one just sitting in the middle of the floor - he also has just about any other part imaginable. But the store being closed I thought this was almost a tease. Then I found on the bottom of the door an old sign that was faded but still readable that said - "for parts inquiries call..." and i did and the old man lives upstairs - he said he was sick this week and to call next week and he can help me with whatever i wanted and was glad to have someone interrested. I was thrilled! - I'm charging my camera batteries but will go down tomorrow and take a bunch of pics - wait till you all see - Agitators, drain hoses, filter flo pans galore - parts froom every brand, make and model all in the window and i haven't even see the inside of the shop yet! From what i can see its packed to the gills! I'm so excited - I hope I will be able to take a quick inventory and tell this guy about this group - I bet he has parts that all of us can use - I'll keep everyone posted!
Pics to come!
woo- hoo - christmas came early!
