Philco Restoration, Part One

[frigilux]

Jimmy--- thanks for the great pics and restoration storyline! It's a sharp machine, that's for sure. I always forget that the cabinet of most washers is just a cosmetic 'skin'. I find it a little odd to see a machine washing with it's cabinet removed; almost like removing a heart and watching it beat outside its body. I envy you your mechanical abilities. Great job!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the color of the tub and agitator!!!!!!

Might we see some closeups of the control panel?

Wow - the before and after pictures of that wash basket are amazing. I can't wait to see pictures of the machine all done! The control panel is in good shape considering it had been outside for many, many years.

Is it just me?

Or is the term "blades of water" just wrong? To be honest, I don't want my clothes near blades of anything!

And while I'm at it, who was the genius who decided to name the women's clothing store "Dress Barn"? What lives in a barn...?

Dress barn

It's probably for fat women.

Mooo!

Great Job Jimmy

Another piece of autowasher history saved. I have to hand it to you and the rest of the members that take the time to photograph the work in progress and share it with the rest of us. Thank you. Can't wait for Part two!
