It has seen some use. After sitting for 20 years, it works fine! Just a little debris inside. |

Tim, not only a fun washer to have but even more important is the family connection to it. You'll have fun using this!! |

Some spray paint and a new decal will make this a beauty!

Tim, thanks for posting those pictures. I had hoped you would. Even though I just picked up my first wringer just recently, I'll say welcome to the conventional washer club! (Sound familiar, Geoff?) Yours may look rough now, but they clean up so wonderfully and it's amaizing how many parts are still available! I just picked up a NOS power cord for mine. I'll have to agree with the above post. These guys are like Lay's potato chips. You can't just have one. Maybe, you can get Geoff to post pictures of his wringer 'Harem' so you can see the really neat collection he has. Don't be afraid to ask questions here. You'll find all sorts of wonderful people here with parts & service manuals, hints, and maybe even needed parts! I had wonderful support from great people while I was looking for my first wringer. Here's my E2LP (Geoff's 'niece' LOL!!!) RCD |

There are a few people here who might agree, but that's not quite what I meant. Mine is only a few pieces big and kept only if it's in good shape. Otherwise it's parted out and gone. Still, a person isn't judged by the size of his/her collection. The pride and contentment in what ever it is should be enough. Alot of machines here are fine pieces BUT I like your wringer because there is a family history attached to it! The picture of you as a child with the wringer in the background is absolutely awesome! Geoff, that E2LP in your picture has a lighter colored Maytag emblem. Is that original and when did they go to that color? RCD |

It was my Dad as a child. I WISH I had grown up in the 50's! |
