A visit to the "appliance Junkyard" in Phoenix (actually Glendale, AZ)

[revvinkevin]

Last week I drove from LA to Phoenix to drop off a few machines and bring back a few machines (in the other threads). Gordon (KenmoreGuy64) also came to Phoenix and we met up to visit this "junkyard" together.

This is actually a appliance sales and repair business and the owners (Lee & wife B.J.) feel they don't need to scrap every unwanted machine they pick up or take in trade, especially since they just happen to have the room for them. They ARE aware there are people like use out there who like and appreciate the vintage machines and because of that, they are usually accommodating if you ask them nicely (hehe).

This is not quite like Aberdeen Farm... but it is still pretty cool!

Now for the photos.......

It would seem like a majority are of the Kenmore/Whirlpool family....

Oh that looks fun!!

Stoves too. Any refers? DWs?

 

[revvinkevin]

...and even modern machines! I almost forgot to mention they also have a number of Frigidaire 1-18 machines... both WITH the lid in the window and without!

 

[revvinkevin]

Yes there are Friges and DW's too!

I did see a vintage chest freezer there, Frigidaire I think (but don't remember).

One pair I was surprised to see there was an old Hotpoint set!

 

[revvinkevin]

I was VERY tempted to bring the washer home... because it's a SOLID TUB! But ultimately I did not because I didn't have room in the truck!
DARNIT!!!!

And there is an old "frog eye" dryer!

 

[revvinkevin]

A 1961 Lady Kenmore?

 

[revvinkevin]

A cool old WP dryer with a window!

 

[revvinkevin]

There is this Hotpoint that looks EXACTLY like the Frigidaire Flair!

 

[revvinkevin]

And finally........

One machine I (literally) rescued from the dumpster and brought home was this 1967 Kenmore, full size portable!
(watch for another thread about it)

That Whirly dryer is not old enough (per the console) to have that window door. Must be a mutt, LOL.
