Greetings. As my name suggests I am addicted to Wurlitzer and Ruth & Sohn Band/Fairground organs and real music pretty much, although my music preferences really span from about George Friedrich Handel or not long before(Baroque music) to Swing music from around 1920 - 1960. However I am a British bloke with multiple passions of which have all surfaced on my YouTube account, which throughout the past 7 years has been known as "CBF1", and I am most famous for my cuckoo clock collection of May 2018 video of which currently has 2.4 million views.(It's the video with the pink cuckoo clock in it, along with a black one and a musical one with an accordion man).
My passions include:
Band organs, quite obviously, as well as church organs
Real music as mostly stated, which constitutes from anything before 2000 I would say(Even though I like Baroque to Swing music, I do like Running in the 90s or Never Going to Break my Stride, as well as Queen or the Beatles and Abba), and orchestral instruments
Cuckoo clocks and Rhythm and Seiko musical motion clocks
Waterfowl
Campanology and church bells
Gothic and baroque and other similar aesthetical architecture, Salisbury and St Paul's Cathedral for example(Although to date, I've never gone to St Paul's. I will in the future, but I have been to Salzburger Dom, which too is an early baroque cathedral.)
Ski lifts(I have been struggling for years mentally to get any of my videos of those uploaded since 2018, but that is changing and a new video will come out soon about that passion of mine, as it is in grave danger)
Antique american carousels as well
Doing the right thing really, including against economic matters(Quite like how a lot of people do here with their washing machines)
Cars from 1900 - 1980 and from 2000 - 2020(A few exceptions are the TVR Scerbera, the Lamborghini Diablo, and the Rolls Royce Silver Seraph most of all)
And most importantly, I am a washer collector and I have, along with cuckoo clocks, been into washing machines since I was 3 years old. I liked spinning things and the drama of hearing a brushed motor make an entire theatrical jet-engine like noise and go faster and faster. But later I grew to like all the drama of all the water splashing everywhere as well and all the different ripples each washer creates, as well as the different ways in which washers behave during washing and rinsing.
Every single thing that is a part of my passions is different: No 2 things are the same. No 2 cuckoo clocks, no 2 bells, no 2 band or church organs, et cetera. And CERTAINLY no 2 cathedrals either.
My washing machine collection includes:
1. A 2009 Bosch Maxx WAE24470GB which I forcibly stole from my parents.
2. A 2015 Daewoo wall-mounted DWD-M301WP(I'm not joking. I have videos of the thing on my channel for proof!)
3. A May 2000 Miele Novotronic W906.
4. A September 1997 Miele Premier Novo W806, essentially a downgraded W906 with only 3 spin speeds instead of 5 and no lit up control panel.
5. A Royal Twin Tub washing machine from 2013, a tiny little thing sold under multiple trademarks.
6. A OneConcept SG003 camping washing machine from 2014.
7. A White Knight 28009W spin dryer from June 2014, which is simply an argentinian Koh-I-Noor spin dryer rebadged and sold in Britain by White Knight.
8. A 2014 White Knight C3A tumble dryer which is the only dryer I've ever had entirely to myself.
9. 2 more OneConcept spin dryers. One of which has never even spun anything and I have considered selling it.
10. A 1959 Hoovermatic 3174. Which is in a pile of parts at the moment and I'm in serious need of help with fixing it because I fricked up with that one quite badly.
11. A collection of 21 toy washing machines, some of which are on my YouTube channel.
And I also have many desired washing machines as well, such as the Miele Automatic 410 and 416, the Bosch VT590 or a Bosch of a similar era, a Maytag A700, a Maytag A806 or similar, a Hotpoint 1504 or 1509, a 1956/56 Kenmore, the 1957 Speed Queen, ALL frigidaire Unimatics and Pulsamatics and pretty much every single GM Frigidaire Washer and Dryer from 1947 - 1980(The 1947 one I desire ESPECIALLY), a Miele Navitronic W2888 and a Miele W487, a Gorenje WA65205 and Gorenje WA63170(Which Maturasigma did a video of it doing 1800rpm, to then be deleted in November 2017 or privatized, sadly), a Zanussi ZWC1301, a Maytag Neptune which thank all of goodness has been sold in Britain, a Hoover Keymatic 3224 or 3226, a Hoover A3060 or A3190(They are similar, just with different control panels and different door designs as well), a Bosch WAS32466 or WAS32469GB Logixx, a Whirlpool Portable Belt-drive from the 70s up to the early 80s, preferably an avocado green one(Like the LHC490 that Pete Maz once had, and later listed on Ebay), as well as a Whirlpool Direct Drive portable from the 90s, a 1937 or 1938 Bendix(ACTUALLY FOUND ON ON EBAY LAST YEAR. DAMN IT THAT IT'S IN THE STATES.), and a Bendix Gyromatic which to my blessing was sold in Britain(But it's MEGA rare) and I do actually have an original instruction manual for from it's time of manufacture.
Goodness knows how much posts I will do. I'm mostly seeking assistance for my Hoover 3174 repairs, and will likely seek assistance on my conquest for my desired washing machines, no matter how rare they are. Including a new flange for the spin dryer which will certainly be needed. I have many washing machines which I aspire to have, and I will pursue them like how Robert(Unimatic1140) pursued his Apex for 13 years. Especially the 1947 Unimatic, a Pulsamatic(1955 preferably but any will do), and a Gyromatic. My washing machine collecting has stalled due to space and I will only pursue the extremely rare ones for now of which are damn hard to find, much like a Rolls Royce Phantom 4 of which 16 exist of 18 made, and a Wurlitzer 165 Band Organ of which 11 exist of 24 made.
That's pretty much all one needs to know about me today. I wouldn't mind an Apex either by the way although I'm not especially mad for that one. But I would have one certainly given the chance.
