The East coast 2010 Wash-In, PART 2 (day 2)

[revvinkevin]

This thread is about a week over due, but hey, better late then never, right?

Day 1 was at John's (Combo52's) warehouse / museum and as you have seen was a great event! Day 2 was at Jeff (brother, Jeff-adelphi) & Cal's house. After we arrived we were told there is "Name that agitator quiz" and they were scattered around the yard, similar to an easter egg hunt.

So here are the agitators we had name. Make, model and what year or decade it's from. How many can you name?

Their yard is really beautiful and a great place for an agitator hunt![this post was last edited: 10/19/2010-00:53]

Another angle...

 

[revvinkevin]

It looked spectacular at night too!

(I thought the colored lights in the plastic dryer duct was a great touch!)[this post was last edited: 10/19/2010-00:54]

They had a number of machines in the garage to look at....
A commercial coin op Westinghouse, and a few Bendii.....[this post was last edited: 10/19/2010-00:55]

 

[revvinkevin]

More Bendix machines, a couple combos, including the Philco at the end (and a Westinghouse combo next to that!).[this post was last edited: 10/19/2010-00:56]

 

[revvinkevin]

A Kenmore combo, and a modern LG combo too!

 

[revvinkevin]

Along with an early Westinghouse washer. Interesting that is has a "detergent shoot" right in the glass window!

 

[revvinkevin]

I LOVE this old box of Tide! I wonder what year it's from?

 

[revvinkevin]

Even a GE monitor Fridge... and yes it was plugged in and running!

 

[revvinkevin]

Now it's time for the laundry room... first the detergent shelf and display. I like all the easy access, resealable containers!

 

[revvinkevin]

On the other end, 3 battery powered toy washers, and yes they were fully functional too!

 

[revvinkevin]

Now a few machines... a great Kenmore portable!

 

[revvinkevin]

A Stabor H-axis top loading washer. I'm not sure I would take one of these if someone offered it to me.... interesting yes, but it wasn't my favorite.[this post was last edited: 10/19/2010-00:57]

 

[revvinkevin]

And the incredible Philco Bendix commercial washer, found new "in the box", never installed or used prior to this. It was just stunning!

 

[revvinkevin]

Here is the modern contingent. A Speed Queen, WP Duet and a Gibson labeled Frigidaire FL washer.

I also REALLY liked the long water hose with the nozzle on the end, GREAT for adding more water to anything! Excellent idea!

 

[revvinkevin]

They ALSO have this American Motex Extractor! WOW how I would LOVE to have one of these too! It reached 1780 RPM at it's max! I love it!

Here is a video of the Philco-Bendix washer and extractor.

 

[revvinkevin]

Time to party!

Much to our surprise... the lights went out as the black lights came on! I NEVER knew detergent boxes would glow like this under black light! How fun is this!

 

[revvinkevin]

But wait, there's more!

After the black lights went on, the sound system in the laundry room went on AND the disco lights! That was a REAL surprise!

Yes a laundry room that doubles as a disco! Now THAT is just TOO COOL!

Great shots Kevin!

What make is your camera again? The color balance is stunning!

[revvinkevin]

A quick visit to the downstairs bathroom revealed a glass bowl sink and a compact FL washer door as a cabinet door! Again, very cool!

 

[revvinkevin]

Then as the evening winds down... many are downstairs relaxing, chatting and reading through service manuals, brochures and other appliance books (or THAT'S what they TOLD me anyway... LOL)

 

[revvinkevin]

Jon, My camera is a Nikon D40. And thank you!

 

[revvinkevin]

Jon is "Look, he has a camera too!"

LOL

[No message]

 

[revvinkevin]

Fred, Mr Hooverwheelaway himself showing some skin... um... showing his tattoo, yea, that's it... his tattoo!

 

[revvinkevin]

I was also able to make a quick visit to John's house and his basement.

Here is 1/2, yes HALF of his kitchen. I'd have to say it's a pretty awesome kitchen because it has two (or MORE) of almost everything! Do you have your seat belts buckled?

Here we go.....

It has 2 - 16 Cu. Ft. refrigerators (only), 2 - 16 Cu. Ft. Freezers (only), 2 dishwashers, 2 (or was it 3?) sinks, an induction cook top, an electric cook top, 2 additional electric burners, 3 ovens, 3 microwaves, 3 commercial warming drawers and the only GE washer/dryer combo in black ever built. Plus numerous coffee makers, toaster ovens, blenders, etc.

Pretty much a dream kitchen if I ever saw one!

 

[revvinkevin]

And now the basement...

A beautiful set of control tower Frigidaires!

 

[revvinkevin]

Another Frigidaire set... I LOVE the control panels on these!

 

[revvinkevin]

A very rare GE washer/sink.... Um, sink/washer?
