MINI WASH-IN!!!!!!

Mark,
Like Wow looks like some washin with the Best of all time machines! I realy wish I was their. Best wishes and I hope to chat with you soon.

Wow guys, looks like y'all had fun!!! That Philco is nothing short of spectacular with the lighted, multicolor control panel....love the wide lid and "Contour-Fill" as well!! The Highlander's wringer-gyratator action looks like fun to watch, and a Frigidaire Unimatic is an imporant "staple" of anyone's collection!

Who can forget about how GORGEOUS those pink ABC's are!! I'm sure you'll have the washer running in no time and it looks like you're off to a good start with the mechanism...always a good sign when the tub boot is good!
 
I"m shaking, drivviling, and "ver-ke;pf". Is there such a thing as laundry room so high one can go split level and have washers upsteairs and downstairs in the room? OY. Beautiful Mark.
 
Mark, what can one say, that ABC O Matic is just beautiful. I love those lights and can't wait to see it when you add the full width console one. Can't believe that drying time either. Sure looks like you all had a great time. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Terry
 
Washer Machine

Hello..I'm deaf...I'm best friend!

I saw some picture about
Post# 92471-73 - What kind of the washer?
Post #77-78?

- Peter ;-)
 
Mark those machines are just BEAUTIFUL! Wow, and great pictures too. Finally we get to see that Philco washer too, I love the ContourFlow Fill Flume. The knocking in the ABC might be caused by the Damper Assembly which may need adjusting or disassembly.
 
Excellent!

I'm Pink with envy! What an excellent day you each had. That wharehouse is like a dream come true. Wow!
Thanks for sharing your pics.
It's nice to know there are those here who know HOW to fix the occasional problem that can develope with just about any appliance.
Happy Wash-In
 
Awesome!

I could not believe Mark and Gary's collections, the washers and dryers, stereos, Ranges, cars, just incredible!! I want to thank you for your wonderful hospitality! I felt so welcome, Hans, Robert, Mark and Gary and I were running between the running machines and the ABC project. I got to see in person finally the super quiet and strong 56 Fridigdare, the Kelvinator, Philco, an 1-18, and the Maytag all run. I was able to see the Flairs, the wonderful Westinghouse (I love Lucy range, just too much to list...
We went out for a great dinner, again thanks to Gary for that too! I am sure I am forgetting things, but I just wanted to thank you all for a GREAT weekend!

Scott, now you've experienced a wash-in. washers, dryers, food, drink, fellowship, and a whole lotta fun. Nice to be able to put a face with a name too. Just wait until a bigun' wash-in. Bob
 
....the Philco

Yes davy, When I return to the warehouse I will take photos of the control panel etc.... I also have the matching dryer! Mark
 
Wow!

Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing them Mark. It looks like a good time was had by all.

You have a wonderful collection, Mark. Thanks for saving all of those saving all of those awesome machines. :-)

Those ABC's are super cool. The dryer controls are unusual to say the least. I love the idea that the drum light stays on through the entire cycle.

That Philco periodically turns up as a P.O.D. and I've always wondered what each button was for. (Especially since the typical Philco had rotary controls.) I always thought that Philco produced some of the handsomest machines ever built and this one is no exception. I can't wait to see the pics. Mark, would it be to much to ask if you could share pics of the matching dryer too?

Thanks again!

Mike
 
1966 Philco Custom Imperial

The washer buttons in order from left are: Cotton, Bright Colors, Wash'n Wear, Special, Warm Soak, Cold Soak, Extra Rinse, and one other that I can't see. Water level has Small and Large, with three dots between that either indicates five levels total, or more likely it's variable. The timer has settings for Double Wash (Soak) that leads into Regular Wash.

The dryer has buttons for Regular Fabric, Wash'n Wear, Dryer Off (possibly for use with a drying rack?), and probably Delicate Fabric. The timer has selections for Auto Dry (Damp, Normal, Extra), Time Dry, and Air Fluff. Interestingly, it has a Speed Selector knob for Low Air (130 CFM), High Air (170 CFM), and Reverse Tumble which alternates between the two blower speeds and changes tumble direction every 4.5 minutes.
 
ABC dryer

I noticed the dryer can be set up for 110 OR 220 volts. Did anybody other than Westinghouse do this, too?
 
110 v 220

Most dryers can be wired for 110 or 220v. Of course the 110v takes a looooooooooong time to dry! Even some modern dryers can be wired for 110v. Mark
 
great pics, thanks for sharing

Mark, are you in any of those pics ? they all look great ...... you sure have some amazing machines ...........
 
Way cool. And the ABCs get the Cool Award of the Week from me anyway.

Altorfer Bros. Company. Hmm. I've never heard of them before. Anyone here know anything about them, what else they made, etc.?
 
Great detail on the photos,and fantastic machines too!
Well,looks like you guys hit the jackpot once again!!! Congratulations on such a rare classic set in PINK no less. If I ever get out your way,I want to see all your wonderful toys too!
Thank you for sharing these great machines with us Mark. (:

You All Are Always Welcome!

You all are always welcome to come for a visit anytime that you want, so that we can all get to know each other, and play with the toys. I love it when folks drop in.....that's how we end up having a spur of the moment Wash-In! MArk
 
I was right up the street Friday in Lynchburg, I should have dropped in! Looks like you all had a lot of fun. Those are some really cool looking machines you got there!!1
 
1966 Philco Custom Imperial Button Arrangements

Thanks, DADoES! I wonder what those buttons are for every single time that Robert runs the POD. Another mystery solved! :-)

Thanks again,

Mike
 
Absolutely stunning, all of them. You guys are so lucky! I would love to see a close-up of the controls on that Philco.
 
The Philco has the "translations" if you want to call it that, on the underside of that large lid, as the buttons don't make it clear what it does water and speed wise. Very interesting machine to see, after watching the Kelvinator and the Fridgidaires, it was so strange to see the top of the agitator just sitting there not moving. I love how the dial looks like a little steering wheel, and the colors and design of the basket and agitator on that machine.
