MODERN PARTS HOUSE IN PARMA, OHIO - ROAD TRIP PICS

[soberleaf]

found a drain pump seal

for my 1965 rollermatic. took pump off and it's gravity drain for now but wanted a seal anyway.

 

[soberleaf]

here's a strainer that fits the g.e. mobile maid pump ho

had to destroy the original getting impeller off so i was glad larry had another one for me !

 

[soberleaf]

agitator nut

for a rollermatic! a nut for a nut! and i do go nuts over this stuff!

 

[soberleaf]

gaskets!

he's got em! this is for a d&m kelvinator or sears kenmore

 

[soberleaf]

look at that

old agitator! love it!

 

[soberleaf]

one of the main things

i went for

 

[soberleaf]

a new motor for

the 1966 g.e. mobile maid i got from matt (everythingold)

 

[soberleaf]

this guy has got it all!

never seen so much stuff in a parts supply house! and never seen so much old stuff! he's got motors out the ying yang!
gaskets, seals, timers, rows and rows of timers! you name it!

so i would strongly suggest if you need something give him a call! i mean i never thought i'd find an impeller for the modern maid or a water bellows for my frigidaire!

they even fed me while i was there!

thanks robert for the suggestion!

 

[soberleaf]

and on the way back i stopped in akron

to pick up a kdi-18 from a friend. it's my first 18 model kitchenaid! he also loaded me up with lots of extra parts. his dad had an appliance repair business too.

 

[soberleaf]

some of the extra parts

i was fortunate enough to get

 

[soberleaf]

lots of goodies

for kitchenaids

 

[soberleaf]

the kdi-18

looks quite good for it's age but hey, it's a hobart!

 

[soberleaf]

it'll be awhile

before i get to this one

 

[soberleaf]

but extra parts always come in handy

and he was quite generous!

 

[soberleaf]

all in all

it was a great trip and i enjoyed meeting larry and his wife and their dogs very much and had a blast rummaging around their shop all afternoon!

it's what makes appliance collecting fun! the unique people (and pets) you meet along the way!

That's a very nice KA you got there! I keeping my eyes open for a KA portable to replace my Whirlpool portable with when it goes.

Also, nice SQ wringer. The tub looks really good, somemone much have taken really good care of it.

 

[soberleaf]

there is a beautiful kitchenaid portable superba 16 series o

grab for around 50 bucks and have it shipped via u crate it for around 200 bucks. pump and motor parts are still being made and it would be a prized catch! stainless steel door panels too. i think bidding ends tomorrow night! check it out under "kitchansaid dishwasher" on e bay.

i thought about trying to buy it but i now have 19 kitchenaid disghwashers, i am up to my limit i think!

 

[norfolksouthern]

It would be nice

if he had the nut to a Frigidaire 1-18 agitator.

Peter, thanks for sharing your fun trip with us. Larry is a very nice guy and his wife Sharon is such a sweetheart!!

Great pictures, Peter!

You should have seen this place when some of the guys found it ten years ago - old Frigidaire parts, combo parts, on and on. It's been pretty well picked through but you've shown here there is much more to be found for those willing to make the call or the trip is even more fun.
