Oh MY GOD!!!!!
I just hit pay dirt TWO days in a row......
First, I saw a 24" Kenmore that was strikingly similiar to the one I had grew up with yesterday (only mines was a lower level model than the one that was pictured out there in Seattle).
And now, I see this Philco (and in MARYLAND no less). That was my late great-grandmother's washer. I kid you not, she had THAT EXACT MODEL(!!!!).....
Now, the question I want to ask you die hard Philco fans, was that were the lids on these machines ever reversable???? I see that the lid on the one that's pictured here opens toward the left. If I could recall correctly, the lid on my late great-grandmother's machine opened to the right.
And what are the common problems Philcos usually have when they break down????
I ask this because I haven't seen this washer since 1976, and one day that year, when my parents went up to Spartanburg, SC to visit my great-grandparents, I did see the washer sitting in the yard all rapped up for the city people to take it to the dump. That was when I saw a shinny new Speed Queen sitting in the kitchen.

well as long as they mail someone back.. i still have my hands full with this kelvy here but its gettin close just a few more wire probs to fix
Got a response...
He said he got an overwhelming number or emails about the washer. He has someone that is supposed to pick the Philco up today but he'd get back to me if it falls through. Like I should be so lucky... He asked if I was interested in the dishwasher even if the washer is taken. Told him I'd take BOTH off his hands but without the washer, probably not interested in the dishwasher. We'll see what happens.

LOL,Tom!
I hope this beauty ends up in a good home! Hope we don't see it on ebay at a starting price of $3,000!
FYI
both washer and dishwasher were picked up. I think i might have been #2 on the list to get them. I knew as soon as it got posted here it would be hard to get. Anyways, hopefully they went to a good home!

Of course you could have told them WHO got 'em, but then that'd take all of your passive aggressive hatefulness out of the post, then, wouldn't it.
You're an ASS dude. I'll just tell you straight up.
You're an ass.
Hey - I have the machine running in my basement at the moment too, dude. Boo Fuckin' HOo.

OMG unreal...I was wondering when he would rear his ugly head. Thats so not right.
What's up with this bob wirth? I think this is a great club with friendly people who go out of their way to help other members. To send this type of email to a fellow member is way out of line. Sorry I guess I just don't understand.

It is obvious a person like that has serious issues. Perhaps he is off his daily dose of lithium. In any event, pity him as he must be pretty miserable.
Sorry that happened to you Jon.
