As soon as the other video posts, I will share the link. Tomorrow I will show you the second Blackstone that is a later model solid tub machine. Meanwhile, here's a little teaser for tomorrow! |

Hi Mark, I remember the above Blackstone from the late 60's that was displayed at a Carmel Lumber company. It was a beautiful solid tub SS machine with a filter flo like pan. Real nice washer. I hope it is in good working condition. I actually never saw a Blackstone wash. I hope you are doing well. Best Wishes Peter |

Venus, I believe the washers were discontinued during the mid 70s. My understanding, however, is that the company continues even today, manufacturing something else. |

Wonderful machines indeed! Judging by all the clothes Gary is wearing, I can't honestly say I'm sorry not to be there to enjoy the fun right at this moment, but looks like a great time had by all! |

I'm speechless and ecstatic and writhing in joy. That chrome with the huge golden orbs and the giant primary lettering-- Sweet Jesus, Abraham, and Budda!! What about that the giant Blackstone gem on the peach sunset background --Camera trick or real? Thank you for dreams from another planet, so rare and unknown, the Blackstone! |
