Yay, another Blackstone running!
It does sound a bit like a cement mixer full of broken glass, but it works!

Paul,
Let me scrounge around the old sales receipts from our store for the early 1960s; maybe I can find a serial number close to yours. Other than that, I have nothing specific about dates of manufacture.

I hope to see it washing clothes soon! Maybe next week?!
Eddie is
correct they stole the Easy Fill System directly !!
Nice machine, and fully functional. Now I think we need to search for a pump bearing.
I like the porcelain tub, mine had a SS tub. And yes that agitator ( a direct Easy copy too BTW) does move the clothes for a Blackstone Clean !!

BA 600 Serial Number, Postcards
Paul,
Apparently, your BA600 is 1965 or 1966. Closest I could find is we bought a BA600 from the factory in September 1966, with a serial number 3564. Wholesale price was $144. We sold more of the 650s; the cost of those was $162.
Did I ever give you one of these postcards? If you email me your mailing address, I could send a few. Same goes for anyone else; I have a pile of these postcards. Of course, I would mail 'em inside an envelope.

Thanks, Fred! That makes sense to me - I reviewed the restoration photos I took of the washer and its components and noticed a date of 65-11 on the water valve so it's got to be a late '65 or early '66 model.
I do indeed have some of those promotional postcards - you sent me home with quite a few promotional items when I picked up the Tappan microwave, thank you!! I still think the woman in the photo is an early prototype of the Karen Walker character from Will & Grace... LOL
