Good find there! Your photos suggest a subplot in a science fiction story about rebuilding after overshoot-and-collapse:

It's the year 2036, and for the past two decades after the "perfect storm" of Avian Flu and worldwide energy shortages, power grids have been down and people have been making do without electricity in most places. Candles instead of lightbulbs, clothes washed in the bathtub (with water heated on a wood or coal fire), and of course ice cream is but a fond memory along with cold sodas and hot showers.

Finally the new thorium-fueled reactor complex in the central valley is complete, 1.2 gigawatts, enough to light up every town for a couple hundred miles around. And finally comes the cutover date, and the scramble to recover old electrical goods to make life easier and bring back a few comforts in a part of the world that has been cold, dark, and dirty for way too long.

The scene opens with our intrepid electrical entrepreneurs, rescuing old appliances that have been stashed away for decades since the Crash of 2014. Today they pick up a load of washing machines, which are soon to be delivered to thankful families in the next town. With a couple of tankfuls of biodiesohol that have been donated by the fire department, they set off with their cargo, heading back to the workshop where the washers will be restored to new condition and tested before being delivered.

A week from now, the lights will be back on. A week from now, there will be clean clothes and towels. Soon there will be hot showers again. And, with a load of refrigerators yet to go, there will be ice cream.

Mark and helping folks.

I bet you all had a lot of fun grabbing those treasures! I know I would have. What a wonderful save and good luck. You know Maytag is one of my favorite.

Ross - Sorry we didn't find another Thor but we're keeping a lookout for you!

WOOHOO!!!! Congratulations Mark, Steve, & Robert!! Excellent Maytag finds!

Mark--I would LOVE to have a 1960's Helical-Drive Maytag if there are "extra" models you want to find new homes for. Will be emailing you.

Thank you Mark. The Thor is my dream machine since I grew up with one and first developed my interest in washing machines with it.

 

[toggleswitch]

DROOL.

Wytheville Weekend!

Hi Everyone! Gary, Lady Kenmore, Gyrafoam, and myself spent all day Saturday and all day Today, at the warehouse testing some of the goodies out. We hooked up the Kenmore and with a little WD 40 on the wig-wag, it worked perfectly! Three of the Maytag 140's had no problems at all excepting dirt and some rust. Today, LK and I hooked up lots of the helical drives and most of them had simple issues like bad tub to pump hoses and leaky water valves. I think most of the problems were from just sitting. We hope to go back next weekend and will keep ya'll posted. Mark
