Help Support AutomaticWasher.org:

you mean there is anything beside Frigidaier worth saving...

...ok, guess I'd better cancel my trip back to the 'States after that one. Just kidding folks! Honest!
I am SO jealous. WoW! Especially the GE oven - look at the POD for today...
Why on earth would anybody in their right mind throw out these great appliances and buy the trash they are building today?
That's a cute rear-end on the red truck by the by...
 
Speechless!

Where abouts in PA is this place?

Thanks for all the pics. Looks like you had a great time! How on earth did you guys decide what to take home?

Wow, great pictures Jimmy and Rich. Thanks for sharing, that brought back so many memories of the farm. That Wardamatic was probably only a year or two at most after then end of the Bouncing Basket! It's fiberglas tub is very cool!
 
Hi Mike, that washer on its side is a Norge design washer, but not quite sure of the acutal logo on it. There was a lot more I didnt get pics of, maybe next time. There was a GE Americana Dispensall washer somewhere in the upper 40, and it had the Mini Basket with it, which of course is different from the regular Mini Basket (different hole design) Will have to pick that up on the next trip.........
 
All that in a weekend!

Jimmy and Rich - glad to hear you guys had such a great time, and looks like the weather was very nice as well. Great photos and great machines, glad to see all was saved!

Awsome!

Now this is a place for a convention LOL. My dad and I are making a trip to Corning NY this summer. Wonder if he would care for a detour LOL. Great finds I hope you can get back there for part for people too!

glad to help!

Hi Jimmy. Looks like you had a fun trip! If you need someone to help next trip let me know. New laundry room has hit a snag with the drain but am working around codes. Would love to come and help (or just not get in the way) when you do a major overhall/rebuilt of any brand. Jeff
 
Jeff, I think Randy would also like to go on the next trip. We sure could use the help. Sue couldn't make it this time and third or fourth set of hands certainly comes in "hand"y. Rich
 
Take me Take me!!!

You guys obviously are in need of a big burly kinda guy to help haul all those great finds out of there Let me know If I can help...I also have a truck LOL
 
We Wondered The Same Thing !

Greg, seeing that unique design driving towards it gives you the chills. It's only when you get close enough to see that it's on the left side making it a dryer that you feel the disappointment. It's funny that 2 of my 3 control tower dryers came from this same place. So you're right - where are the washers?!
 
Rich it looks like you and Jimmy had a lot of fun. That must be some place. Glad that you were able to save some of these wonderful machines from the "Krusher" Terry
 
..there's that song again

The theme song from "Deliverance" kept going through my head while checking out these great pics. I saw the identical '55 GE range at a Goodwill here yesterday.
 
Awesome place

Add me to the wish I could have gone with you list, and to the invite list if there is another trip! Thanks for all the great photos.

very cool...what fun you guys must have had. Thanks for posting the pictures Jimmy. We had the same Hotpoint SS cooktop in our new 1958 suburban Pittsburgh house and a matching SS HP wall oven. The burners and knobs were color coded.
 
Hey Rich/Caroline Appleby, I took the photo of the Hotpoint cooktop because I too had a very similar one in my last house. Mine was from 1958 and also had the matching wall oven. It was known as a Hotpoint Customline, and was simply fabulous! It was in brushed stainless and I was so sad to leave it behind when I moved. I have a 1962 Frigidaire Flair in Turquoise now so that helps to make up for the glamour lost on the Hotpoint..........My Hotpoint was color coded too. Man I just loved that cooktop!!
 
BTW Trainguy and I didnt post the pics of all the NEW Maytag washers that were in this yard. There were dozens of them and it was so sad to see. Most of them were Neptunes and they far outnumbered any other new washer brand that was there. There were only a few of the newer GE design washers, not saying that they are any better. Maybe they just got crushed cause no one wants to buy them for scrap! The statistics and demographics of what is found in a salvage yard can be quite shocking and revealing about modern appliances. Even worse were all the new refrigerators that were in the yard marked "Mr. Scrap". Whirlpool and Kenmore seemed to be the dominate brand of refrigerators in the yard and overwhelmingly side by side models........again so very sad to see.............Perhaps Mr Scrap was just picking up things from a local Maytag dealer and they explains why so many were there, but again, it was quite shocking......
 
Just came across this

What a great find. Did they go back for more? Mr S. still in business?
