Double the fun

What a fabulous weekend! Before I start with anything appliance related, I first wanted to tip my hat to Greg for being an amazing friend. Rarely does anyone travel through life and stumble upon a person like him. Thanks for opening your home and making a trek two September weekends over the past two years, each dedicated to Maytags!

Well guys I just got home, and everything is unpacked and safely resting in the basement. I'll do a full write-up later this evening.

Until then, enjoy the fun video and photos Greg has posted! Besides, the Power Surge is where it's at, don't ya think?

Greg, I am so glad to see that the KDS18 is right back where she belongs. Yes, the Whirlpool was fun and I must admit I enjoyed playing with it when I was there. It did a decent job but still it just isn't a KitchenAid. Now if I could just get you to bring the turquoise Frigidaire range back in all would be perfect! It's time for that beauty to take its rightful place again!! LOL

The cake looks delicious but after talking with you I too can easily see that the batter wasn't mixed with a Sunbeam!!

Thanks for sharing all of the weekend fun.

Two of a Kind

For those who have never had the pleasure of meeting Ben or Greg, words pale in properly conveying how good to the bone, nice and fun these two gentlemen are. I have met so many tremendous people through this group and look forward to each opportunity to spend time together.
 
Right out of the ball park .....

I'm talking about that spectacular red agitator with the fully erect chrome head. How ironic that as technology advanced, the need for the erectile chrome head vanished, and there went the coolest, most beautiful agitator Maytag ever made. What a pity!

Ben, studying the control dial, I wondering, is that a one-of-a-kind, double rinsing early Maytag like the Frigi WO-65, or is the first rinse a long spray? I ask only because other early models are marked spray, and this one is not, and who would have guessed that early Frigidaires did not overflow but double rinsed instead ?!!!
 
OOPS!

Dialed the wrong number ;>

But while you're here, the action of the Philco, the way it swallows up the load--almost flushing the clothes down--is so compelling; it's like the exact opposite of the current HE nutation agitation, (throwing up the clothes) only on speed and with a full tub of water. So fun to watch.
 
At last!

I get to see an AMP in action. Thanks for posting this. Too bad the sound doesn't work on my home PC, so I'll have to wait till I return to work to view this with sound. Someone quoted that the pump on the AMP is louder than the one on the helical models. I wonder if it's as loud as the some of the old WP pumps.
