GOING TO THEIR NEW HOME!!!

[rollermatic]

mike (dishwashercrazy) swung by today on his way back home to chicago after the big wash in party he attended this past weekend in maryland!

he took 5 of my appliances home with him!!! I wish he would have had room to take more! I loaded him up with some good ones too!

he is now the proud owner of my speedqueen harvest gold solid tub washer, my 1965 coppertone rollermatic set that I went to tenn. for back in 2012, a great old modern maid front load impeller dishwasher (with a top roto rack) that I got in grand rapids mich. and a kdp-2 top load kitchenaid dishwasher I got from a trip to new York a few years ago.

here's some pics!

the modern maid dishwasher! this one has a brand new impeller I got from larry at modern parts in Cleveland. I did not know larry past away several years ago! mike told me that today, I figured he was still going strong!

this is a beautiful

dishwasher and I'm glad to see it go to a new loving home, especially mike who is an impeller dishwasher collector.

 

[rollermatic]

it's in really good

shape with no rust at all on it's tub!

 

[rollermatic]

racks are in great shape

too!

I have not used it for about 5 years, hope it still works great!

 

[rollermatic]

my computer is acting up

Staircat!

I think I have the same stair-climbing appliance dolly! That was one of the best things I've ever bought, it has made moving appliances cake!.

next on the list

the kdp-2

i got this one

in new York, close to Niagara falls area when I made a big road trip about 5 years ago.

it worked perfect but last time I used it about a month ago it had a drain pump issue. I'm sure mike can fix it! it has a separate motor type drain pump so if all else fails you can go on e bay and buy a cheap drain pump like the front load washers use and install that underneath.

being one of those

old style kitchenaids it washes like a fiend! I love those old kitchenaids with the blue spray arms. I still have 3 more left, only in the front load style. this was my only top loader but it needs a good home with mike, I will probably never get around to fixing it.

 

[rollermatic]

this was hard to get rid of

the speed queen solid tub washer! harvest gold!

 

[rollermatic]

i never thought i could part

with any of my solid tubs but OH WELL! I did it! mike will love it! works great, I did a good rebuild on it when I first got it. painted and rust proofed everything! even rust proofed the pump, inside and out.

 

[rollermatic]

it's got a good home

now! I will probably never use it and it deserves to be shown off and loved for the beautiful solid tub that it is! enjoy, mike! is this your first solid tub?

 

[rollermatic]

love the control panel

on this one!

 

[rollermatic]

was told by members here

that this machine was from the early 70's. correct me if I'm wrong (as I know you will ha ha).

 

[rollermatic]

wow!

drove to Indianapolis for that one, still remember that trip like it was yesterday. oh well, out of sight, out of mind! bye bye speedqueen! have a good like with mike! he'll take good care of you!

 

[rollermatic]

and last but not least

the 1965 coppertone rollermatic set!

washer has issues but I have rebult 4 or 5 of these and have never met one I could not fix! I'm sure mike will get it running. the bearings sound great when you spin the tub!

 

[rollermatic]

tub has rust in the bottom

but not deep. when I got it water had been sitting in tub a long time!

 

[rollermatic]

maybe someone here

can help mike out on what to do with that rust problem.

dryer looks great mechanically and probably works great! I never tried it!

here they were in my house

about 5 years ago, smack in the middle of my living room! what was I thinking?!

I can now say that the only room where you see appliances is in my kitchen, I still have about 8 dishwashers on display in there! but the rest of the house is back to normal (as normal as mine will ever be!)
