Sorry that I have been out of the loop for so long.

About a month ago, I was promoted to Manager, Electric Operations for my service center. Although I was extremely happy just being an engineer, I am enjoying this new position, too. The only drawback is the 5:30 AM to 5:30 PM Monday through Saturday working hours. On the good side though, I only have to work about 4 hours on Sundays and will only be on call or back up every other week. It certainly doesn't leave much time for appliance hunting or restoring.

I hope that you have enjoyed these photos. I didn't shoot any of the Maytags either because last time I did, nobody wanted any of them. There is still one Avocado green 806 set left and a few older dryers.

Tom - there are still quite a few Hamilton dryers for parts for you.

I am still working on both the WI-56 & WI-57 washers in my 'spare' time. I found every part I needed except for a TALL pulsator nut 5433639. Anyone have a used one you could spare or trade?

The LJD Whirly dryer is 1961/1962. I grew up with an LJA3200 washer, bought in January of 1962.

 

[DADoES]

Would love to see more details on the controls!

 

[filterflo]

Yeah Rich! Thanks for getting me the Speed Queen dryer! Let me know if you need any other help picking stuff up. Can you put my name on the Hamilton washer? Been looking for one of those for a long time! Yeah!

 

[jons1077]

Wow!

That is a LOT of appliances! I love that last Kenmore picture! If that were closer to Portland, OR I'd be picking that baby up!
