"Another ABC joins the foray! Can't wait to see the photographic evidence!" (Jetcone, 9/20/11)

Here ya go! We made it up there today to pick it up, guano and all. Luckily the woman selling it was strong as well, and we had a little job of navigating it out of the 250-year-old barn where it sat in the corner for about 50 years!

See it hiding?

 

[perc-o-prince]

Thar she blows!!!

Here's the bottom- not too bad. Need to replace hoses. Luckily, we had the right sizes already here from other jobs!

Got her out of the vehicle so she could be cleaned a little and plugged in.

She's a dirty girl....

A question about the fill- it looks like it shoots into the machine without a tube or hose, and that the housing attached to the back serves as a drip tray where accumulated drips would gather and evaporate. Is this correct?

Maiden voyage w/o water. It should be noted that there was a small accordian tube that went from the tub housing to the pump that we didn't catch to replace. It failed when we tried it after this with a few gallons of water in it, and we need to replace it. But, it works! Yay!!

ABC!

This is awsome and seems to work well. Yes it is supposed to be off center. You will need to get plexy glass for the top and believe me you will have a exciting show.
Keep us posted and Best Of Luck!

What a nice find

I remember watching a neighbor's Kelvinator with a glass lid when I was a kid.

Loved that machine.

 

 

Best of Luck!
