It appears I'm a little late for the announcement, but better late than never :>)
I met RCD last week at Sergeant’s Maytag while shopping for a new dishwasher and oven for my grandmother. I have been popping my head in the store about once a month for a year now, shooting the breeze with a now, recently retired employee that worked there for 34 years.
During the paperwork process of the purchasing items, RCD mentions his 1927 Magic Chef range. Right then we clicked as we shared our passion for vintage appliances. He graciously takes me to the back showing me around the place, pointing out vintage manuals, wringer heads, and other goodies that they've stocked for many years. Next thing I know we are at his work truck and he begins loading me up with NOS vintage parts........for free!!!
15 minutes after our departure of the store, he calls me and mentions that a bunch of vintage parts were thrown away by the owner and stashed in 2 different washers that were heading for the crusher. He kindly invited me to stop by the next day and grab anything I desired. The next day while loading up the parts, he brings me a couple quarts of transmission fluid, turbine oil, and 4 bottles of vintage wringer washer tranny fluid.....free!!
We are truly blessed to have such a gracious, kind hearted, and very knowledgeable gentleman to join our club. So please give a warm welcome to RedCarpetDrew (RCD)!!!
