What did you do with Kelvin????????????
The new set-up looks great, Robert. Just out of curiosity, where is the matching dryer to the Philco?If you have time I'd love some close-up shots of some of the machines you've acquired since I was last there like the older Speed Queen for instance. Last time I was there you still had the 57 model.
I looked for your Filter-Flos and they appear to be at the far end of Reply #3. Safe and sound!

Love it!
I would love to have a collection and a house like this someday. Everything looks great, so many beautiful machines. I also love the artwork.
Thank you for the pictures.

Are all of your machines connected and able to run?.
Yes every single one is hooked up and in perfect or nearly perfect working condition. I purposely set up the basement so that all of the plumbing work is hidden as best as possible from view. My inspiration came from all those wonderful vintage magazine ads we see where you never see the plumbing.

Between the Thor and the Apex, that's a Speed Queen, right?
Hi Louis, yes that's the 1952 Speed Queen the very first model (model A10). I took a few extra pictures which I'll share. Here is the Speed Queen Craigslist Find Post

Control Dial, the queens crown and all!
I put an early 4-vane AMC Coronado/Beam agitator in, it splashes slightly less and the original first Speed Queen agitator was so pristine, I wanted to keep it that way.
Question, is that the Westinghouse spacemate 25 from John's museum?
No that was found locally a few years ago. It's the very first 3-belt Westinghouse washer from 1956. Here is the post from then... Westinghouse Laundromat 25 Find Post

My '55 Westinghouse Laundromat set is here for now, the washer (left) is hooked up...

I would still like to know what happened to my Kelvinator with all the push buttons.
As for other machines, if you don't see them in these pictures they have either found new homes or have been broken down for parts to keep other machines of the same brand working for years to come. I'm not going to discuss the specifics of each machine as it's hard enough to do this downsizing. This was just phase 1 of downsizing. My goal eventually is get to five at minimum to ten at maximum of my absolute favorite machines so I'll be ready to sell the house and look forward to my retirement home.
Ahem, I posted in that thread... Age and Nutrasweet as Bette Midler said. lol
Thank you!
Robert, thanks for the info on your little Spacemate 25, I somehow missed your original thread about it. Really neat to learn it's a portable, how cool.
Also good to see your '55 slant front pair, I guess they were being shy as they were hiding in the other photos, LOL.
The basement is looking great as always!

Robert, did the big Whirlpool Combo find a new owner? I miss seeing it in the corner.
WOW Robert:
Your collection looks great. I'd be honored to come up to Mpls. and see it sometime. BTW, I know you have several portable DWs. What has become of them. Especially the KDS-60?

Wards Signature!
I'm so pleased that the Wards Signature Coppertone set is among the cream of the crop and displayed as they deserve! Sure did enjoy your sharing your collection a couple of times years ago and hope to see it again in the future if you allow. Thank you for posting pics and now I need a bowl to catch my drool over your entire set up!

Robert, I really like the new setup. There's something about having a gap between the machines that really opens the space up. I don't remember that 3-belt Westy, either. Nice! -C
