Personal invite

Bri:

Won't you please join us at Convention 05?

We need some beauty, warmth and love and tenderness to balance all the men-ergy (or is that m-energy?)

Hope to see you there,
Steve

But.......

the 106 miles isn't the problem....

It's finding the time to sneak away from the reunion. Its the only time I get to see some of these folks every year. I may have to drive like a bat outta hell and get up to the reunion on thursday morning, do some visiting and then head out on Saturday afternoon....

Hmmmm, it just might work.

Washers, washers, washers!!

1958 Custom Imperial Frigidaire with the famous overflow wash and rinse...

 

[gregm]

Oh My

It looks like laundry days ahead full speed!

I'm gettin' antsy!

I wish I could buy a seat for AL and bring him! He'd love Omaha & Minnie!

Um Jet....what did you do with Greg??

 

[gansky1]

Keep adding more!

My goal was to put a new picture up every other day or so, fell behind working on things around here - preparations continue and things are coming together very nicely! Aside from a minor flood Saturday, I did a lot of work on the rooms we'll be washing in and on a couple of machines as well.

This is a 64 Lady Kenmore washer that Don Shier (jetaction) found in Minneapolis. I repaired a wire it seems to work OK, a complete tear down and restoration would be nice, but time is not on our side for that! I gave her a bath yesterday and while scrubbing years of neglect from her top and controls, you could almost see her smiling again!

A little front-load action!

1950 Westinghouse Laundromat - the tub IS the agitator!

 

[appnut]

The tub is the agitator? What an astute observation!! Have you submitted this to Westinghouse's ad agency to use it in ad campaigns? Modern wonders NEVER cease.

 

[agiflow]

Nice KM

Greg , beautiful KM. The agi looks like a straight vane, though caps can be deceiving.

 

[jasonl]

Who's that lady?

That KM is breathtaking! I most assuredly want to come to the conv but if no full-time job yet, no go. So keep your fingers crossed.

 

[retromom]

Say YAY for Lady K!

Greg:

I am absolutely in love with that Lady Kenmore! The glow of the lighted control panel has a real romantic quality...and the pushbuttons! I know where I will be spending my time!

 

[jasonl]

Me too

I'll definitely want an entire cycle of the LK on video.

 

[rickr]

Great machines!

Greg all those machines look fantastic! I can hardly wait to see them all in person! We are gonna have a BLAST!!

1960 GE Filter-Flo washer

With a new lower tranny seal and belt - ready to wash!

 

[gansky1]

Flo-ing away...

 

[scott55405]

Rick, you're coming! Look forward to meeting you, oh sexy one... ;-)

 

[Brent-Aucoin]

Greg you have been working so hard!

Greg,
Your machines that you posted look show room new! I can't get over how great everthing looks. And oh that Lady Kenmore! What a beauty!
I'ma coming! Can't wait to see you and your machines, and meet all of the new folks, and see those I know already!
Thanks for doing this! It is going to be a blast!
Brent

Pretty in Pink

Pink Maytag Highlander washer - this is nearly the same washer I spent hours and hours watching in my grandmother's laundry room. I had a dent in my left thumb from holding in the lid switch almost the whole time I was there!

 

[westytoploader]

YAY for Highlanders

Woohoo, real Maytag action!! Another machine I'll be watching...

What happened to the original "Gyrafoam" wringer-style agitator? How was its performance? Inquisitive minds want to know...;-)

 

[gansky1]

The orginal, skinny shaft agitator is still here - it can be put in anytime for washing/viewing pleasure. Performance is virtually the same with either agitator, the size is about the same and I've not noticed any difference with the larger barrel on the filter-agitator, turnover is the same. I use the this 'Tag for lots of loads and like having the softener dispenser.
