Oscillate?? What do you suppose this does? Perhaps move the roll back and forth while pressing?

Time to dig out the sales lit...

 

[tlee618]

An oscillating ironer, that is one I have never heard of for sure.  It does look to be in really nice condition and the price is right!!

Seller emailed me back

<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>and said I need to find anFOB shipper, what is an FOB shipper?

 

 

 

 

[swestoyz]

FOB - Free (or freight) Onboard Shipping. Seller is pretty much indicating that they are requiring that the buyer cover all the shipping costs. I used to hear this all the time in an old position I had where we as an industrial supplier were shipping items from many vendors to customers, but I haven't heard many private parties use the term.

Cool looking iron! Find the sales lit Greg!

That Ironer Has Been Sat Sitting

On fleaPay for ages. Surprised it hasn't be sent to the scrap yard. *LOL*

Even at $9.99 the seller cannot apparently shift the thing.

My standard advice applies, unless there is something *very* unique and or such about an ironer they are rarely worth shipping great distances. For instance that Bendix model is still sitting in New Jersey listed on eBay, and is not only of more recent vintage but is in better condition and has lots of extras as well.

Far easier to move something so large and heavy as an ironer from say NJ to Boston than CA.

In California, everything oscillates.

The intensity of the oscillation being directly proportional to the seismic unrest.

 

[jetcone]

Yes Laundress that is all true

yet I knew the Altorfer Brothers personally and they gave me several washing machines so I'd like to have the Ironer they built. Shipping something like that across the country is crazy but it would be good for the "Museum" and washer history.

HI Jetcone

HI there, You have any ABC o matic automatic washers that you would like to sell? I have a gas dryer from the 50's and it still works. Thanks Jetcone. Gary

 

[mrprojectionist]

I have see one of those things before (well similar) in a charity shop that I worked in. We couldn't sell it as it failed the PAT test so to the tip it went

 

[jetcone]

What is the PAT

test? Do you slap the appliance to see if anything falls off?
