I went up to the Aberdeen Sacred Appliance Burial Grounds a couple of times, it was a blast! There were still lots of appliances there, but most of the really old stuff was long gone. Bulldozed into a pile and then placed into a baler and carted away for scrap. As far as working, well, you'll just have to pull a machine from a junkyard someday and plug it in! (just kidding - none of these machines was ready to wash, several months of work to bring them back to life) |

Hey xyz, it's too bad that so many situations of junked cars and appliances in yards have prompted this sort of clean sweep activity in your town. A few bad actors can wreck it for those who are more responsible about their accumulations. I couldn't help but notice all the zero's in your AW profile, though. What's up with that? |

thats so sad "I couldn't help but notice all the zero's in your AW profile, though. What's up with that?" How many zeros do we all have?, I should check my profile. How Zeroed are we all here, even theWebmaster has a big fat ZERO in his Apex column. That could be a new club rating....how zeroed are you? If someone was actually Non-Zeroed in their profile that would mean we'd have to collectively kill them and take their machines for the good of the state! The state of applianceville that is. |

It took me well over a year to rebuild the '55 Unimatic that John fetched from the farm! And it was tough! |

Oh Jon, there's no excuse for you taking a YEAR to restore a simple Frigidaire, even if it was on the farm for thirty years. Steve was diving into his cold with no experience, but YOU?? It only took a little more than six weeks to for me to do the Kelvinator - remember the pictures?? That was the first one I did and all I had was a lowly Repair Master! You have rooms full of doctrine and manuals for these babies! No excuse!! The question is: What are you smoking and who are you smoking with? Killing other members to get their machines? One might question your upbringing ;-) |
