New Members of the Collection

[repairguy]

Many thanks to Todd(washerlover) for his generosity and willingness to wait for shipping for me to be the new caretaker of some of his great collection. I’m very happy to be the new owner of these machines and wanted to post some pictures for the archives. But mainly to thank Todd.

First the great Norge built Montgomery Wards washer.

(Don’t look Ralph the images may cause flash backs.)

And last but certainly not least the 1974 Kenmore.

And look what came in the new Wards washer.

Fantastic! Those machines look great and I’m sure you’ll have plenty of fun with them. And a box of Axion to boot!

I’m looking forward to my own delivery from Todd. Exciting times — for us with the new machines and for Todd starting his new life in Hawai’i.

Sweet Wards.  I was always enamored of them.

The Kenmore has a full skinny belt Quiet Pak treatment, yes?

 

[appnut]

Melvin, I'm thrilled you were able to land all these. And I used Axion in the Keenmore 800's Enzyme Soak cycle.

 

[repairguy]

Thanks everyone. Yes Glenn the Kenmore has the full quiet pack system including the skinny belt. Mark I hope your shipment from Todd arrives safely. Cheers to Todd’s retirement!

What a lineup!  I'll always swoon for a Penta-Swirl, love those agitators. 

 

I don't do a lot of pre-soaking anymore, but Axion was always my favorite product to use.  The scent was really clean and bright.

Nice saves, Melvin! Love all three, especially the Wards set! The GE is a '67 C model, with the dead giveaway of the blue tones used throughout the new control panel design for that model year. The 844 appears to be a variation of the 840 with the speed and temp selections from the lighted panel 850 and a bleach dispenser.

And yes, a huge thank you to Todd for his generosity and patience on waiting for shippers to arrive. The solid tub Norge arrived this Monday!
