Tonight is going to be a very special night and I want to share this celebration with all members and friends of aw.org. Tonight is special because this open slot between the 1947 Frigidaire washer and the 1959 Philco Automagic Dryer will get filled with a new find. Its not just any old find, but something very special. It would be so great if so many members old and new could join me tonight at 10pm Minneapolis Time to unveil what is going to be put in this very spot. Tell your friends, come and join us, BE THERE OR BE SQUARE! Jetcone Jon, this means you too!

This very lucky drain stack pictured below will take away wash and rinse water from both the 1947 Frigidaire Unimatic and our new arrival!

OK, Robert! You snapped me out of my appliance depression. Recently, I was laid off from Airs Appliance. I have not been posting lately, but checking out everyday and CONGRATULATIONS! .... to all the members on their new finds! So hopefully, I may be working for the Fritz Corp soon, who handles SUB-ZERO, WOLF & ASKO appliances. Who knows? . . . LOL ANYWAY............. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS EVENT TONIGHT! LET'S SEE . . . HMMM . . . SOMETHING THAT BOUNCES MAYBE..... IT MUST BE FANTASTIC WHATEVER IT IS. CAN'T WAIT! QUESTION... in thread 21324 that wonderful G.E. Do you have an ad for the first G.E. washer? I'll be there.

Coincidental

If I remember correctly, the "picture of the Day" has a set of different Bendix appliances one of which has a bouncing agitator called the "Power Surge" I wonder if our dear friend and loyal appliance collector/restorer/lover,Robert, has done that as a hint or if it just happened to be a coincidence???? Inquiring minds want to know!

Tune in tonight friends to solve this mystery and thoroughly enjoy the scenes and beauty of this exciting product.It will be 5PM here unless your time(daylight savings)is different than ours.We do not use daylight savings time here but the time zones in Robert's list show Honolulu at 5PM being correct.So,in just 4 more hours, I'll be here again.

I was also thinking of an Apex washer as it seems to be the most highly sought after type. But 4 am? I'm normally fast asleep at that time. Will the thread be deleted shortly after the revelation or can I watch it at a more Christian time?

Hmm, I had eluded to something on the deluxe or Suepr forum within the last week, replying to a comment made by or about Robert, I said something like, yeah, but he still doesn't have an APEX---at least that was my intent, I could have typed ABC-O-Matic though, (old age). Can't wait to see what it is.

Glad I got home in time. I'm betting on the Apex as well, but for all I know you could have Bernie Madoff under that red chenille in a little Viet Cong chimp cage. And as for the drain...well I bet there's a little Hannibal Lecter in that cranium along with Endora. OOOh I just love tableside cooking!
