Great photos! Love that '59 Lady Kenmore dryer with its rapid-advance timer. Push a few buttons on it for me, OK? All the Westy front-loaders get a thumbs-up, too, as well as the Kenmore with a KitchenAid agitator. That must produce a kick-ass wash.
Thanks for the pics - looks like a fun time will be had.
I wish I could go, as the weather is so nice for a trip today, but after spending nearly $4000. between the fallen tree, my tooth, and now new tires this week, it just wasn't possible.
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">That copper bowl looking thing on top of the Thor....is that some kind of water extraction device or something? It's a beautiful machine.</span>
The bowl on the Thor if for water extraction. After the lid is shut, compressed air inflates a rubber bladder in the lid to push water out and back into the tub. Warmsecondrinse -The Neptune says hello and the Magic Chef was quite an impressive little machine!
Well then, after a 7 1/2 hour drive back, I finally pulled into Brooklyn at 7:35PM. But oh it was so WORTH it.
Most importantly, I'd like to thank Jerry for being such a gracious and generous host. This was one of the BEST wash-in's I've ever attended. It was wonderful seeing old friends and meeting new ones! It was a real treat seeing Jeff's (Jeb) Thor washer. John (Combo52) performed his usual magic in repairing Jerry's gorgeous Westinghouse front loader.
Pictures to follow, right now I'm going to soak in the tub for a week or so. Calgon take me away!
Thanks for the kind words, Louie and to everyone in attendance! Though it was a lot of work, it was great meeting old friends and new. After the house is back to normal..(like it ever is!)soon it will be time for the next one in 2018!
