Never thought the day would come
Lo and behold it has.
About four years or so ago when I was lusting after and coveting the glass bottom girl co-owned by Jon & John, I asked John what I would have to do to get a year or two with that glorious glass-fronted top to bottom Easy spin dryer.
And John said only two are known to exist: Ben has one and there is yet another, the only other, in the Maytag museum.
If you can get me or find me another Maytag combo, I'll find a way to convince John Charles to let you ha have the glass girl for a while, or for my portion of the ownership however it works out.
How I tried! A few conversations with Madame curator at the museum gave me a hot lead to another machine. After many calls and waits and answers that went hot and cold, in the end, all the wires to the lead went dead-- an experience we all know only too grimly.
So now you have your blessed Maytag combo. You know when first reading the thread, I somehow thought that you managed to coerce, beg, borrow, or pay a million dollars to Ben for his. How dramatic and fun that would have been! Now I see it's another machine which gives everyone hope that yes indeed the dream machine is out there somewhere.
Even better, you found a Norge, which is the one I prefer and I can't wait to see the rinsing. Like Jon Charles I spy the blades of the monster fan behind the curtain.
The enormous karma you've built up here helping everyone, befriending anyone, and giving out your phone number to whomever asks has paid off in two Uber holy grails.
What a great day. I'm so happy for you. Big Hugs of Congratulation. If you get a chance would you ask Jason to snap a pic of the Norge controls in extreme close-up?
Of all the combos you mention, are any operational right now?
