It was a blast!

This was my first wash-in and I had the time of my life!
Mike, thank you so much for your hospitality and opening your home to us. Your collection is outstanding and it was a treat to get to see it up close and in person!!
I may just have to borrow the idea of having the dishwashers on a shelf as you have!!

Mike what an outstanding job on your Dishwashers!
Beautiful washers. Never seen a wall of dishwashers before and I hope to someday.
You guys must had a good time.

I'm ashamed to say.....

that I didn't take even one photo of the group having fun with my washing machines on Friday.

Here are 4 photos that Paul took when we were at Gary's home on Saturday. There were 9 of us at his home, and we had an equally fun time.

Clockwise starting from Top Left: Gary B. and his friend, Randy, with Gary P. and Jeff mostly out of the photo - running the mid-1950's Eash Washer/Spinner; Jeff also watching the Easy; Gary P., Darren and Jeff filling Gary B's new Speed Queen; Gary B standing next to his ABC Dryer.

Darren tooks lots of video so perhaps we can get some "stills" from his footage.

More Photos of Mikes collection.

Two shots of the permanant installaion of the Electric Sinks (1948 G.E. from Michael P's collection) and (1950 Homart from Mass.)

The complete motor and "timer" mechanism, temporarily removed from the 1948 G.E. Electric Sink, that I used to demonstrate the dishwasher's operation process.

The completed Dishwasher Wall.

Darren took lots of video. I'm hoping we can get some "stills" from his video to post.
