Last week I brought home two beautiful Electric Sinks.
The first is a Homart (Sears). This machine was brought to the clubs attention by Robert in discussion thread #20759 on February 8th. I immediately wrote to the sellers, Mary and Burt Harrington, who own a country store in the small town of North Egremont, located in the extreme southeast corner of MA. As I understand, this Electric Sink was in the living quarters of the store. Although they had some other inquiries, I ultimately agreed to buy their machine. I started investigating shipping options and costs, which were going to be very high due to the weight and size of the unit.
In the meantime, I was searching the aw.org discussion threads and came across Greg’s (“gregm”) post from 2007, thread #14154, describing his “Never used GE dishwasher/sink combo”. I wrote to Greg on March 2nd, inquiring about this machine and what he had done with it. He wrote back that he had never used it, and, in fact, wanted to get rid of it. So we came to a sales agreement by that afternoon. However, I still had the same issue of how to get this Electric Sink from Massachusetts to Peoria.
After some research, I decided that the least expensive way to get both of these Electric Sinks back to Peoria, was to go get them myself. They wouldn’t fit in the back of my Honda sedan, so I bought a used pickup truck. After some extensive repairs, the truck was road ready on April 27th. My Dad and I got on the road Tuesday morning April 28th to make the 2200 mile round-trip drive to Greg’s home, and the Harrington’s country store. On the way back, I stopped at Al’s home (“maytagluver”) to pick up the controversial Harvest Gold 806 set for Jim (“autowasherfreak”), and a Poppy Red Frigidaire 1-18 for me. We arrived back in Peoria late Friday afternoon.
