Knob Robber

That's horrible!

At quite a few sales around here, many of the estate sale companies remove knobs from appliances that are staying with the house because people take them and then they are liable for them. I can't believe that anyone would do that! Valuable but frustrating lesson - if you can't take it with you immediately, remove everything that could be lifted easily. Books, attachments and sadly, the knobs if you can get them off.

Unbelievable jerks - how rude!

Robert that is just terrible!! We will have to spread the word, I bet somewhere out there we will find one!!!

I've had knobs come up missing from the used washers and dryers on my floor. I hate people who do that!

 

[mickeyd]

I hear you, and I feel it, too--the Visimatic came knobless,

Someone will have the knob. Promise. Honest. If wrong, public spanking!

Oh Robert, what a sad thing to hear. That machine must be very special if you want to get rid of one from your collection to accommodate this one. I do hope that a suitable replacement knob can be found. I know the excitement that you experience when you find something special and now it turns into misery by this wicked act.

Wow, what obnoxious people would do. Robert I am sorry to hear this happened. Hopefully somebody in the club has the knob to fit the washer. I am looking forward to pictures of this mystery machine. I wish you luck.

Have a good one,
James

Well here we are, in a beautiful stunning shade of sea-foam green. I still can't get over how the washer knob could go missing between 10am yesterday and 10am today, ***sigh***

Well good grief, all the commotion and fallderaahhh about space. It's not an issue. You stack them!!!!! and what better place, than in your kiitchen along THAT wall.

 

[Unimatic1140]

The drum and boot are both in beautiful shape. The boot is soft and supple.

 

[Unimatic1140]

Dryer drum is dusty and needs a good cleaning...

 

[appnut]

It's been so long since I've seen an original boot that color, I wanna cry!!!

 

[Unimatic1140]

Dryer Knob... These had never been stacked so the tops for both machines are obviously still there.

 

[appnut]

There's obviously more than one timed dry cycle on the dryer, or is that just counting minutes past each hour? No temperature selection?

SpaceMates...!!!

Hi Robert, well aint you the cat that got the Sea-Foam cream...!!! Wow, what a lovely pair, looking grand...So classic side by side, and not a sight of euro trash to be had I say, wonderful....Are those mains indicator lights on the lower panels??

All you need now is some Acrylon Raywarp Fitted Sheets, to make your bedtime crackle & bang with static...Lol

Enjoy, Mike

Very Nice, Robert

That is a rotten shame about the timer knob ; somebody
in Minne needs their hand held to a small stove top
burner @ simmer for 4 minutes !!

Congrats Robert!

What a nice surprise it must have been to find them at an estate sale. Enjoy!

they're gorgeous.....

and I kept wondering where do we know sea-foam from, something old, something classic, way way back, why won't it come to me, and then it did.....

Frosting, beautiful sea-foam frosting, for those two delicious pieces of cake you just scored.
