I think Guy in Hamilton mentioned he was interested in it. He'll have to drive the 2 odd hours though to grab it. I couldn't even say if it works or not.

My kind of thrift store for sure
I'd snap up the barbecue in a red hot minit.
Sadly for me those kinds of places here in California are
drying up fast.Nice therm and transister radio.

Yes, that is a Hoover automatic washing machine as I posted earlier, not the impeller/wringer model. Unless Hoover pulled a fast and loose one, there has to be an agitator inside of the machine.

Yeah baby...
Now THAT is a thrift store! A place where you WANT to visit wearing ripped jeans and tattered T-SHIRT. (rugged and hair all amuss).. You leave afterward smelling a bit musty..
Coming home blissfully happy with some treasure that may live.. or die.. The fun was in finding it.
Oh... I used to have a place like that... I used to be in the "room of chairs" saying to myself, "Gosh this is a firetrap".
It later burned down. 89 chairs lost their lives....
(one was saved but lost a leg)...

Well Laundress it's an impeller machine only and it's on the bottom of the tub not on the sides either. BTW nothings shown up in my mailbox yet from NYC LOL
Well then I am gobsmacked, as the only wahser listed in my Hoover service and parts manual with an impeller is the wringer version. Both automatics have agitators. Would be interesting to know whom Hoover sourced the washer from then. IIRC Blackstone made the other top loaders. Twin tubs and the wringer/impeller machine were in house jobs, so maybe the automatic with an impeller was as well? Still it looks very much like it's top loading cousins.

Don't forget that I said it was "Made in Japan" LOL

I love the pix of your your thrift store. There was one like that in the town of Hemet about an 45 minutes away from Palm Springs. They had a huge back area where the large appliances were, not to mention all the vacuum stuff. Whenever i would go ther i would organize the vacuum area. Pair all the vacuums with their correct hoses and tools and then picked up what i wanted. One day i went there and found that the whole back area had burned to the ground! I was stunned and almost started crying! All those lost appliances! I still mourn that loss!

Hoover
That Hoover washer looks exactly like a Hitachi washer (made in Japan) at my family's beach apartment in Mar del Plata (south of Buenos Aires). It is a top loader with an impeller (with center post) but the wash action resembles a Fisher & Paykel (the impeller rotates many full turns to one side, then repeats backward). I don't recall if the tub indexes. The was action has two settings (normal/delicate) and there is a soak cycle, a regular cycle and a delicate cycle. The center post accomodates a lint filterm and in the panel it is identified with a drawing as being "Karambo Action", or something like that.
The machine (being a Japanese model, including Japanese characers on the panel) is cold fill only, so it has just one water valve, but the panel cutout on the back is prepared to accomodate a second water valve.
If I recall correct, the Hitachi has two knobs (for water level, and last (2nd.) rinse stop to add the softener) plus the timer knob.
This specific washer is gravity drain (no water pump), but please remember this is a washer for the Japanese market, although 220V/50Hz.
By the way, in our case the water supply is connected to a water mixer valve, so actually we can choose the temperature of the wash and rinse water at will. Washing performance is quite good, and it spins beautifully! The color is a horrible lime green. Capacity must be on the 4-5 kg range (or even less!). I don't think it weights more than 30 kg altogether.
Next time I go down there I will take pictures, of course!

Nice photos of Petrolia, Ontario.
That railway station that is now the library wasn't used as a train station for very long. Built in 1906 and discarded in 1927.
I love seeing those old train stations reused in the community.
Along the Burlington Northern tracks going out of Chicago they have a bunch of very interesting stations built in the late 1800's. They are still used by METRA as train stations these days.
