Last Night's Wash In

[westyslantfront]

Hi Robert. Looks like you all had a great time. I sent a copy of the Hotpoint picture to my cousin in Massachusetts. I remember her mother having the same machine. I spent many hours parked in front of that Hotpoint. I always like the red agitator and the red clothes guard on top.

FUN!!

Great pics - you know it was a fun time when there's water splashes on everyone's shirts and the floor gets wet!

A good time was had by all....

So especially nice to meet new club members, Thank You Robert for hosting the wash in!

Hey guys!

My first wash-in since joining the club in January! And yes, Robert is right, I've never seen a vintage washing machine before! (besides the center-dial 'tag that started it all). Robert's basement is simply amazing, as I felt like a 7 year old kid again at Sears, checking out every single washer inside and out.

It was nice meeting some of the club members; I'm horrible with names but hopefully I'll remember some of you guys.

O, what's that? You want to see some pictures?

My very 1st vintage load!

This is the load that corresponds with Robert's pictures in the first two posts of the thread. Note how I only have the finished product as I was too enthralled by the cycle to be busied with picture taking!

 

[tuthill]

If I could choose one...

After the inagural cycle in '55 Uni, I simply knew what was next. The '57 pink Lady Kenmore set was drawing me. These machines were definately my favorite of Robert's collection. Just something about them that I can't explain.

$$$$$$$$$$$$

Money shot!

3..2..1.....

LIFTOFF, LOL sorry guys that's exactly what I though of when I saw this picture.

Up Above

I was definately surprised at how well these shots turned out, as each one captured exactly what I was going for.

Fillin' up

White load of mostly socks and towels. Tide w/ bleach.

Breath-taking

I told Robert that somewhere on the camera was my new desktop background, and this pictures is it. I took it with out a flash as to take advantage of the tub light and I can't belive it turned out the way it did. The fact that this is only the 11th wash-load in a 51 year old machine leaves me literally at a loss for words.

Lady K's

Very, very proud to have tackled at least a portion of my filthy wash!

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Has that sticker always been on that machine?

 

[tuthill]

What's that little bulb for?

Robert kindly explaining to the wash-in crowd why he's never suffered from polio!

 

[tuthill]

Little to much suds

The poor '57 Lady got a little too much suds than she could handle, so Robert had the bright idea of doing a deep 2nd rinse in the ABC-0-MATIC! Of course I'm not gonna argue!

 

[tuthill]

Livin' Dangerously!

As the crowd gathered in anxious anticipation of the waves of water that were about to be expelled, I was lucky enough to snap a quick, timely photo.
