And for now the '58 Unimatic has moved to the kitchen, I've been using it almost exclusively all winter long to wash everything but large comforters. It really does everything so well and so fast.
Yes last year the Wizard tub had completely broken away and crushed it's hub so unfortunately there was no saving it without finding another "good" machine. I filmed that machine multiple times so we have a record of it going through an entire cycle. At some point I'll get that up to YouTube.
Looks great Robert. I do hope to get to see them in the flesh when we come back to US at some stage.
Plans are currently afoot for my collection to be re-housed to a more permanent location, considering I'm looking to move in with David early next year.
All of your machines look amazing! I am utterly in awe of your collection. If I were ever able to see it in person I would definitely be like a kid in a candy store. What you've done with your basement to showcase your machines goes without saying! Are all of your machines connected and able to run? You've done such a good job of putting the room together that we don't don't see any sign of plumbing or electrical collections which of course makes the machines just shine brighter.
Your place is so pristine. I could look at the pictures of your collection all day. It certainly has to be difficult downsizing. How could anyone decide which one is next? Congratulations on your years and years of hard work.
Great pictures of a still great collection! Between the Thor and the Apex, that's a Speed Queen, right? IIRC I have never seen that particular model before.
Personally I wouldn't have a problem to let go of anything coppertone. ;-)
