toy washing machines

[gansky1]

Here is what looks like the whole set of Amsco toy appliances on ebay, but in rather sad condition...

I used to make small washers and dryers out of paper, cardboard, etc. I also would take the small DC motors from other toys and use them with plastic dixie cups for spinning like a washer. I had an entire Lego kitchen & laundry complete with hand drawn appliance facades in different brands. What fun that was - I guess we never really "grow up" in some respects!

Wow, that brings back memories. Looks like the dishwasher basket and dish set is missing. What's the lime green unit? A storage cabinet (perhaps lighted?)?

Toys of youth

"Believe me, I've kept my eye out on ebay for years now and neither have turned up."

Don't give up, sooner or later, they will show up. You may have to increase your frquency of checking, or set up a "reminder" that e-mails you when an item you're looking for shows up. I've done that for itmes before, really helps
