Yesterday was a day I've been waiting for a LOONNNGGG time. Helen and I drove to Wytheville, VA. I picked up a U-haul truck we trucked on down to the warehouse of dreams. But before we went inside. Mark took us to his BEAUTIFUL house. Here's us standing by the front door.

Yeah, but where's the old stuff? Back at the warehouse, we're greeted with a functioning Maytag and GE super capacity dryer.

50s Westinghouse stove BEAUTIFUL 40" Westy stove. This is definitely a Lightedcontrols appliance. The knobs for the burners change color depending on setting, from blue to red. WOW, Oh, and it's going in our kitchen soon.

Playing with my Astro-Sonic. I did the "Helen's fingers in her ears" test. If it's loud enough for her to stick her fingers in her ears, it's good. One twist of the Loudness control and those fingers went in. IT'S GOOD!

Time for some music What good is a wash-in without a record player? Most of these machines work, except for the 70s BSR.

Everything made it just fine. The only thing that shifted in transit were the sliding doors on the console, no harm done.

Great pics, Jason & Helen - I'll bet you had a blast! Congrats on officially having a "large" appliance collection, Jason - that is so neat to see you finally get your dream Kenmore. That GE washer you brought home has a matching dryer sitting in that store in Early, Iowa. It's a neat panel design, too bad they didn't keep it. Thanks for the pics! | ||

Wow Jason - thanks for sharing all the photos! Great to see a dream machine finally resides in your home. Looks like the Maytag is an early 806 - with the Wash 'N Wear button - and did I spy a plastic tub holder in place as well? How thoughtful for the big move! Great finds Jason - and what a great tour of the warehouse Mark ~ Ben | ||

Jason, see dreams do come true. You've been waiting to find this machine (or at least this very close version) ever since we've known you. I'm very happy for you and I totally know the satisfaction that comes with finding it. Please share photos of your first washload in the "800" when you get it installed. It looks just MINT by the way, which makes it all the more fabululous! | ||

heeh
congrats on the appliances! Funny you ended up buying mostly the things that we thought about getting but decided not to for moving purposes. Mark and I spent a little while wiring on those fresh, new burners for the Westinghouse. That stove is just beautiful! I was going to use the GE washer for parts but, again, decided against it. Great finds and I hope you enjoy them. Love the Kenmore! Jon | ||

Congratulations, Jason! I'm glad to see you've finally got your Kenmore 800 dream machine, and safely home. I remember how excited I was when I got my belted 1978 Whirlpool Supreme washer in 2001 after all those long years. I'm happy and excited for you Jason! | ||

YAAAAY!!! Congratulations on your new treasures Jason! Love the console Magnavox stereo! Kind of looks like mine. (French Provincial) Mine purchased by my grandparents in 1965. Wonderful that you offer your "overflow" to other club members Mark! I know you have spent years collecting. Would to see your home one day.
