I don't know if the planets are aligned in a particular position or what, but this seems to have been a banner week for AWO members finding amazing machines!
Robert's Apex , Ben's DuoMatic, Pete's Roto-Rack, Kevin's Maytag washer and KA dishwasher and the Westy Laundromat for me!
I think this has to be proof positive that there are still plenty of good machines out there if you're willing to look for 'em!!

Sometimes God just throws a big beaming smile in your direction! I won a Compact canister vacuum set on eBay for a song this week too! I said a little prayer for it, and SOMEONE sure listened!

And I got a mint condition Frigidaire Flair for almost nothing this week, even has the booklet of all the 1962 Custom Imperial lineup.

I wonder if the current economic conditions are having an influence... People may be suddenly motivated to start selling off their 'excess baggage' for whatever they can get.
Here's hoping that I find a 1959 GE Filter-Flo washer in turquoise at the Sally Ann tonight... Well, a fella can dream, right? lol

my wish list

the only other things on my wish list are 2 items. an impeller dishwasher (never seen one in action) and (a really big wish here) a frigidaire jet action washer. my aunt that raised me had a frigidaire rapidry 1000 and i absolutely loved it! i always volunteered to do our laundry!

I'm in negotiations with a customer of mine for one of my wishlist items as we speak! I found it by accident and no one else here locally knows of it's existence! I hope to bag it and post pictures as soon as this weekend! I hope some of this good luck rubs off on me...

Paul, I too found one of my dream machines - a G.E. FilterFlo washer. It's a late 70's to early 80's machine - model WWA8350GELAD, serial RD153414G. Can someone decode the date on this for me? Not as old as what I had hoped to fine. I've been wanting one with the Mini-basket option. This machine doesn't have a mini-basket, but I have a mini-basket in the basement waiting for the machine to come home later this afternoon. Mike

Congratulations everyone. I sincerely hope we have an east coast wash-in. Looks like it'll be a great year.
