Wow Glenn, I didn't realize it was going to be this great, especially that new Whirlpool sign, that's just awesome! Will definitely look great in the garage Studio...especially if you get the machine that goes with it ;-)
The NIB 80's Zenith clock radio is awesome...if you don't want it, I do! How's the condition of the console stereo, and what era is it from?
It's a shame about the Westinghouse and Kirby (typical Land of Rust, I've seen many like this!), they both look like they need a lot of attention. The Kirby appears to be a late 500-series, 516-519. It also appears to have some bojack parts added to it as well, like the brown headlight trim and replacement cord & bag. That's not an Electrolux, but a Eureka canister from the 70's that I would love very much to have. Just wondering, did you get a pic of that one?
Again, fantastic finds!

If anybody wants any of those parts, let me know before they're tossed, although I don't know when that may be. They're gearing-up for a "garage/estate" sale at the shop. The only items I have thus far are the sign, RCA glasses, and a box of TechCare service books. Thinking about the washer but I have no room for it.
There's a Whirlpool microwave door. A circuit board of some ilk labeled MWH-7800 (I think). A few microwave turntable parts, appear to be for Panasonic (magnetic drive). A magnetron in an FSP box but with a Panasonic label on it inside (we don't know if it's NIB or used/bad). A 1-speed washer motor (a real motor, not a throwaway), which appears to be new but the shaft is frozen (maybe just needs working loose). A used center-tub donut seal but it's still pliable, could be cleaned and reused (are those NLA yet?).
There's a NOOB (new out of box) compact Panasonic micro that may include an undercounter mounting bracket.
Almost forgot, there's a small ice chest with Whirlpool on the lid, but the locking handle is broken off.
Ohh, and the microfiche parts-lookup viewer and a small box of microfiche slides.

Sorry, I don't know vacs. Better pic.

The other style pump.
Micros. The one on top is the NOOB unit. We tested, appears to work and has the turntable & manual packed inside. The other two run but don't heat.

Oh but you NEED that washer!! Making room for a GE Kitchen C
That Eureka looks like it's in the best shape out of all of the vacs. I don't see a hose or attachments, but no big deal. I'll have to talk to Tom Gasko as either he may have some or there may be some in the Kirby basement, we'll see. Either way it would be nice!
Those vintage Panasonic 'waves are cool too, especially the NIB compact model...hmm...
It's possible that the two that don't heat were brought in for service. Too bad there aren't any vintage Radaranges!

Did this control panel have the suds saver option? I think it's my favorite piece.
I'm happy for you!

Fans and adding machines.
The fans are interesting. I saw a late Westinghouse (1950s), and even better in the back, an Emerson! Emerson, Westinghouse, and GE all made some of the best fans money could buy. If that Emerson survives the sale, I think I might be interested. Also, would you post a photo of the adding machine and typewriters? I restored an Underwood #5 last year and it is an awesome machine. I am looking fo a manual adding machine.
Good luck,
Dave

Looks like a wonderful place to spend a week hunting thru, love the pictures. One can almost sense the atmosphere in there.........
About the horseshoe pump...
Also known as a reversing pump, those are very early WP/Kenmore automatic pumps. Before the unidirectional flapper valve pumps were used on the belt drives, the horseshoe pumps were mounted on a hinge and moved by the wig-wag bar cam to control its direction. These should be saved.
As should the baseplate. If anyone is doing a WP/Km (belt drive) rebuild, the baseplate is the way to go--it includes factory installed centerpost bearings.

Glenn - what a great walk through time this was for you! Glad to hear, and see!, that you were able to save some great stuff. Thanks for sharing!

<blockquote>Looks like a wonderful place to spend a week hunting thru, love the pictures. One can almost sense the atmosphere in there.........</blockquote>When I walked in, T asked me if it looks the same. I told him it even *smells* the same!
As for looking the same, it does and it doesn't. So much has been cleared away. Lawdy, I'd love to have pics of it as it was back in the day! There was a 1960s undercounter dishwasher and a topload portable in back that I "played" with many times. I remember a Whirly time-line control panel atop a cabinet buried under so much I couldn't get it open for a look inside. It may have been just a panel and top set on a different cabinet. There was also a pushbutton Whirly timer, a style with the buttons horizontally across the top similar to a '65 LK. No cycle legends, just buttons, dial & pointer and wires hanging loose. I'd select a button, set the timer and turn it increment by increment listening to the clicks to figure out what were the cycles. I was quite surprised when I found those, the proprietor was never much for selling TOL. They sold HUNDREDS of the 5700 series, he pushed them hard as having all the features anybody would ever need. If I'd known then, I would have asked for some of those things, I'm *sure* he would have been happy to give them to me. I'm disappointed that all the vintage service literature is gone. I spent hours poring through binders filled with details on Whirly combos, 1950-era toploaders, and wringers. There was a tasseled/fringed banner hanging in the showroom touting some features on one of the 1960s model-lines (maybe 1964). This was in the late 70s and into the 80s and the banner was still there, Mr. S was never much for keeping up with advertising. Of course, it's gone now. :`-(
