Amana Washer..

Yes Chad I still have that Amana, when I left Nebraska the washer went to live in my parent's garage, and when I bought the house in 2002 I put it back into service. I absolutely love it, and have had no problems with it at all, save for the belt being replaced because the original had cracked.
I paired the Amana with a Kitchenaid dryer which I also like very much. I expect both to be around for many years to come.
I remember your visit to Seward, fun weekend. I forgot about the ticket, but do remember thats when you got the blue Apex, from that vac shop in downdown Lincoln.

And on the Apex......

I still have it "of course" and I just plain dont use it often tho, becasue it's one of the nicest machines I have. Also, it's one of those machines with a non-exsistent repair part base..so why push the envelope and overuse it and break it.

I rememeber that vac shop, on a north south main drag street, and he also had a burgnady and chrome model that diddn't Robb Castaldo get? And he had a Air-Way Sanitizor model 55A sittin up high off the ground on some sort of shelving unit.

Do rememeber that the proprietor was a very nice guy and let us so to speak "rummage" thru his store. Also rememebr that huge flea market/resale store on the southern edge of town as well. I think we passed up, or you did buy one of the small Hoover Juniors from mid 70's there...wasnt it the green and beige model...I had one already along with the orange/beige version so I rememebr not wanting it.

That's wonderful that your Amana still churns away without any major problems, sans belt. A freind of mine has an Amana Heavy Duty set like your's...same age bracket anyway and has a gas dryer and he likes them also. I just couldn't get over your washer's "security system"...I thought you were VERY smart in finding something to "prevent" unauthorized use....I chuckle still when I think back to that, and how you shoed me how to unlock it, how you wanted it used, and becasue this was pre my washer fixation.. had to be VERY careful and specific.....LOL

And of course I rememebr visiting you in Richton Park. I liked that apartment and you had your vac room set up as usual VERY nicely. And of course you had more space to play with stuff. That weekend I got the Kenmore Automatic and the Eureka. I finally relinquished the canned ham Singer to Robb, AND you gave me that sweet Westinghouse Convertovac. I rememeber lots...

Anyway that's all for now...Have to get back to cleaning mom's house..she away fro the week...but I used her digital here quick like and have a pic of the Brandywine cleaner....Still is one of my top five for cleaning..
