It's about time.........

[Dick_S.]

....I get around to telling all of you of some of my recent (within the last year) washer/dryer acquisitions starting with the most noteworthy and greatest one of all---

My 1952 brand spanking new Kenmore "Frogeye"

Look at the pic-It didn't have any feet on it

 

[Dick_S.]

A complete surprise....

...it was....I didn't know I was getting it! What a great moment in my life last April

Another shot of

shiny straight vane agitator, but and little bag containing the feet to the washer

 

[Dick_S.]

Oh, and let me not forget

to show the condition of some of the hoses-this being the suds-saver snorkel hose

And by the way, I just posted a few new vids on Google-

One of this machine

and one of a neat 66 Kenmore I picked up within the last month. I'll save writing down the url to it as when you connect to the vid of the 52, you most surely will see the other ones including the one for the 66.

Hi Dick. Great looking Kenmore. Hope to see it on my next trip to Palm Springs.

Oh, and what was hiding.....

....under the other blanket on Darrel's truck

A brand new Hamilton electric dryer!

 

[Dick_S.]

Thanks Ross. Will be looking forward to seeing you on your next visit to the PS area.

Need to give you a jingle on MaBell one of these days. We do need to "catch up."

Incredible machines. I can't believe how beautiful they are.

Thanks for taking the time to make the video's, too.

I'll put the link to the video's below.

Wow just beautiful Dick! New old stock machines are beyond amazing. Are you going to swap out that MINT agitator and keep it virginous?

 

[gyrafoam]

Great catch! Those are beautiful!

 

[eddy1210]

Dick, that is just awesome! We'll have to rendez vous at Patrick's one time when our schedules allow.

Amazing! There is nothing like a new-smell from a vintage appliance. Congrats on the great finds - that Hamilton is just spectacular too!
