Wow Kevin....this could take some explaining......lets start with the first one

I have a house in the city, the basement there is divided into 4 rooms equally plus a half bath, one side is family room and a bedroom, the other half is laundry in the front, boiler/heater room in the back, I have the 4 Neptunes in the boiler room as daily drivers.....in the front is my play space of some of my collection, right now theres the Speed Queens, the GE FilterFlos, and the Calypsos, plus space to work on them....just got all the plumbing installed, working on the electrical and then the painting before I am complete...theres also a Maytag stacked on the first floor......also a huge garage which holds several other parts machines

In the house with my partner and the kids, in the country, theres a laundry in the main bathroom, and below that in the lower level, is another full room of machines, again, right now, I have 3 Neptunes, the 1-18's, all hooked up, and about 8 more machines scattered around, plus this is also my workshop area here, I don't consider it a basement because were not underground, the landscape out front is built up to give the illusion of half underground....

I do need to update my pictures, but was just waiting until the rooms were done.....changes being done all the time, I need to keep taking pics of the house, for a before and after....but will be glad once its all complete to our liking...someday!.....just seems like its always a work in progress....
 
Love that Avocado 1-18 set!

I'm "green" with envy! I have to come see them sometime. I love the 1-18 that toploader55 gave me a while back. They are such amazing machines. I will try to get some pics up soon.
 
Those are from the days washers had class

And they all tried to out do each other. Would sure love to see some of those days again.
 
Frigidaire 1-18 Lint Filter

Hi Yogitunes,

I had the 1977 1-18 Frigidaire WCD in Harvest Gold. I used to use a toothbrush to clean the lint filter-simple! Sometimes, I actually pulled an old nylon stocking over the lint filter, and BOY did it catch far more lint than normal! I sure wish I never got rid of that machine for the worthless 1994 Maytag! I sold that Maytag at a big loss in four months.

Thanks for the tip...........

on the white one I have the basket screen, simple finger run across and its clean....

on the green one I have the bed of nails, was using a toothpic to get it all out deep down......once I got it clean, ran thru the dishwasher, and now its just for show....

thinking of a made up tray to use, just to have the visual of a waterfall filter....
 
The Frigidaire "Bed-of-Nails" filter

Hi!

I still have the bed-of-nails lint filter, agitator cap, and the bleach dispenser(NEVER used) from the Frigidaire! I also have the owner's manuals from the washer and I THINK from matching dryer. The dryer was given to a friend back in 1989 when I bought the BEST Lady Kenmore.
