Newsflash: OOOoooh Another Beauty Found

[Unimatic1140]

I have just heard from one of our members who has just had one of the greatest find of the year so far, this is very exciting because I believe this is his/her first vintage automatic! And what an automatic to start with!!!

Name/year/brand withheld to prevent any unnecessary jinxing, but we hope to see pictures some time soon, maybe by next week.

No fair! You wicked tease, you! With a buildup like that, we'll all be looking forward to The Big Reveal.

Guesses, anyone?

My guess

Let's see. Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with a lead pipe.

Whoops! Wrong thread.

I'll guess veg-o-matic, 1952 Apex Bouncing Basket.

Whoops again!

My real guess will be jasonl and a Lady K.

Wow, if it is an Apex bouncing basket that would definitely be one of the great finds of the year--of the decade, for that matter!

My guess is a '64 solid basket Westinghouse TL.

 

[jmirawm]

OH BOY !! OH BOY !! OH BOY !!

I cant wait !

 

[DADoES]

Hmmm. But JasonL is moreso wanting a Kenmore 800 than a Lady K.

Maybe somebody found another Philco??

Professor Plum in the laundry room with a Miss America??

Lady K

Didn't Jason get a Lady K that was up north a while ago?

 

[jdinstl]

I need to quit coming here...

...I see all these cool finds and I drool...

I live in a stinkin' apartment...grrr

First washer I learned to wash my own clothes -- Mom's '67 Lady Kenmore...first car...Mom's '77 Pontiac....I want one of those too!

Oh you tease!

Well, it wasn't me finding a Speed Queen. But I'm dying for curiosity!!!

Good news

Our mystery member, who is about to enter the "circle of collecting" is going to pick up his or her mystery vintage automatic tomorrow afternoon.

I have a feeling we will see pictures sooner than later, YAY.

Teasers

It really is *nice*...I promise....literally gently used by a little old lady.

We're good folks and I don't anticipate a jinx, barring tornadoes or an earthquake. We just want it to go to a good home.

Enjoy. I'm sure pictures will follow accordingly.

(I had to go on and register/respond...sorry, LOL as I'm not a collector...I'm just genuinely happy we found a home for this item)

 

[westytoploader]

Good luck mystery member! ;-)

 

[angus]

Hmmm...I am starting to suspect a Philco also - but considering the teaser information - is that too easy of a guess? Well, we will have to see. Perhaps a Kelvinator or Norge?

 

[bethann]

Sure hope it's a 56 pink Frigidaire!!!! I would like to see one other than at the museum!

 

[pulsator-power]

I am waiting with as Dr. Frank n Futer from Rocky Horror says
ANTICI say it PATION!

[JerseyMike]

You're such a tease, Robert!!!! ;-)

I started to suspect a Philco until I saw the Miss America screen name. Either that's to throw us off or it's an attempt to lead us down the "It's a Philco path" only to find out that we're wrong. I'm hoping that it's an Apex bouncing basket, but I think that you'd burst from the excitement if you tried to keep that to yourself for any length of time! ;-) Just about everyone has a Frigidaire in their collection, so that can't be it! Maybe a Philco combo? Or Another Wizard? I'm hoping that it's another Maytag combo! That would be awesome.
