First Wash MultiMatic WD-63

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

The cap screwed into the locked position on these.
Won't look right with a cap on it though as most of the time, back in the day, it would be found in the detergent box for use as a scoop. (An many times accidently got tossed in the trash with the box!). My folks had a '64 WCI and we never put that cap on!

Might take a while to track one down as '63 and '64 Pulsator parts are not as common as the '58-'62, but who knows---someone reading your thread might just have an extra one lying around to donate!

You got a great pair and I know you are really going to enjoy them. Congratulations!
 
Hey everyone thanks for the great feedback.

- forgot to say what great rollover I get with this machine.

- thanks for the heads-up on the liquid detergent and bleach combo. I haven't heard about that before, but I'll make sure I don't do it any more.

- it's a '63 set

- I think the towels are from Kohl's

Thanks again
Jim

Jim and everyone who gets one of the washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, ironers, vacuums, coffee makers, etc. of his or her dreams, I am very happy for you. When I would be asked which was my favorite machine, I always said, the one I just received, because I love them all. Somehow, I think that as we gain more members, our positive force for attracting the appliances we want grows stronger. You can't have this many interconnected people obsessing over things from more than a half century ago without causing some ripple in the time-space continuum. Also, we are in more places and thus closer to more hidden appliances which we pull to us like powerful magnets.

Do you realize that we, with the help of the Internet have created a whole new category of collecting and on a scale unimagined even 25 years ago? We did not have the comfort of falling into an established category of collecting like so many who chose stamps, coins, candlesticks, etc. We are the people who gave these heretofore utilitarian objects that were junked at the end of their usefulness, worth and have done a lot to establish our own self worth. We have caused other people to notice our collectibles and help us find them. We are the ones who have researched and documented appliances for ourselves and others; putting together in one place knowledge that had to be mined from scattered and obscure primary sources. We also have an important collection of oral history, first hand accounts of these appliances when they were new and in use. This is the group that receives the notices that people are making available something we might want. We are the ones the museums and motion picture production companies turn to when they need authentic properties. I would say not bad, not bad at all, for the group teased and worse for our special interest that we seem to have had from earliest childhood. We have accomplished at lot and are quite an accomplishment ourselves.
