A visit to the "appliance Junkyard" in Phoenix (actually Glendale, AZ) |

Last week I drove from LA to Phoenix to drop off a few machines and bring back a few machines (in the other threads). Gordon (KenmoreGuy64) also came to Phoenix and we met up to visit this "junkyard" together. This is actually a appliance sales and repair business and the owners (Lee & wife B.J.) feel they don't need to scrap every unwanted machine they pick up or take in trade, especially since they just happen to have the room for them. They ARE aware there are people like use out there who like and appreciate the vintage machines and because of that, they are usually accommodating if you ask them nicely (hehe). This is not quite like Aberdeen Farm... but it is still pretty cool! Now for the photos.......

That Hotpoint is RARE, but the years in the Arizona sun have certainly left it "well done". Sorry, couldn't resist. The unfortunate thing is that the longer those machines bake in that sun the more things will cook. A shame. Must have been a very interesting expedition. | ||

Charles, et al.... We had a blast there, and Kevin noted that at least once I looked like I didn't know what to look at next, as if in "overload" mode. I had some advance knowledge of what was there waiting for me, and had made some plans regarding what machines I wanted, etc. Later I had changed that to be only one or two. Ha! That lasted less than 30 minutes once I got there. By the time we left, there were 12 to 14 machines that had a yellow post-it-note on them, meaning that I wanted them to set the machines aside for me. I can transport them from Phoenix to Charlotte largely for free, so I figured "what the heck". One machine that really intrigues me is a 1979 TOL (mechanical timer) Kenmore suds-saver machine. I've not seen one in person like that, and it was/is pristine. There is also a nice 1966 Kenmore 600 that looks plausible. Regarding the portable - I will let Kevin do the post on that machine, but we got it back to L.A. late Friday night and worked on it for hours on Saturday. Shockingly (literally, as it bit me good at one time), it works...sort of. The machine is missing a wig-wag, and I would have never tried to operate a washer without one ordinarily, but one makes due when one has to, so we had a ball with it by moving the cam bars manually. Four hours or so went by like a flick of a finger. The fact that the machine agitates, spins, drains, etc. successfully is a testament to the robustness of a machine that can sit outside (with no service panel no less) for years and still work. I have come up with some knick-names for the portable, including the "mud-washer", and GBJ (green beast junior). I am giving away Kevin's story though, so I'll stop there. I am sure there will be more posts to come regarding this trip, and somehow I doubt this will be my last visit there. Gordon | ||

Wow
Good to see that place again--nice also to see that the dishwasher area is filling-up again, although it's unfortunate that the plastic tubs seem to be taking over. When I was there last, there was still a pile of KitchenAids, including a KDS-15 (but it had been stripped of wires--ack!) The sun does a number on everything out there. My '61 Kenmore restoration was a big lesson in how much damage the machines sustain when outside and exposed to the UV rays and rain (many sit full of water). It's a fun trip down memory lane--and a great way to get a tan--but I probably wouldn't pull a machine from that yard again to work on. The Silhouettes (sad to see the dryer in such bad shape--that was in lovely shape a few years ago) are fun, but that washer is ROUGH. The cabinet on that machine is the outer tub, and you can see where rust is running down the front because it has eaten through at the seam between the tub bottom and the cabinet itself. We did try the transmission and such while we were there, and it does work, but you would be a level-three grand-master of JB Weld, Bondo, POR-15 and spray paint if you took that one on. It might even be worth it, too, but what's really frustrating about those machines is what the UV does to the plastic lenses on the consoles, and you can see how the huge lenses on the Silhouette have turned pee yellow. That was frustrating on my '61--go through all that work to get a machine that looks good except for the yellow-hazed lens :-) Still, a fun tiptoe through the tulips nonetheless! :-) Thank you for sharing all those photos--it's good to catch a glimpse again, and it is so fun to look at all those machines. | ||

The condition of the machines....
I have been there twice in as many months and while little seems to have changed in the "landscape", they seem to be in generally ok condition. Except of course for the various plastic bits, which just get killed by the heat, sun and UV. What rust there is seems to be surface rust since it's so dry there. As for standing water in the machines, all that I looked in (and I looked in a lot) did not have any standing water, though many had dirt and looked like water had been inside but either drained or evaporated. | ||

The fact that so many obviously had water in them at one time which later dried concerns me. Several washers I've worked on recently have had rust holes in the tubs that I've had to patch. I just called my vendor in Phoenix and asked about weather patterns - it rained the day we were there, and hadn't done so since Christmas!!! August is their wet month, so I'd say its a fair chance that those machines have simply filled with monsoon rains in August, and dried up, vs. leaking empty. I hope so anyway! | ||

thanks for the photos
To an old man like me (59) most of these appliances look "new." I can't help wonder how many of them ended up in the scrap heap because some greedy repairman said "well lady, parts and labor to replace the pump on this Maytag Highlander will run you $200 plus the service call." But at least they are dying a somewhat dignified death as opposed to being made into Toyotas. I have never seen one of those Hotpoint copycat Flair ranges. Those nasty GE people even duplicated the lift-up doors. At least Tappan showed a little more respect with their Fabulous 400's.

Aw, man!!
Someone removed the motor on the Silhouette? That sucks. It was there the last time we looked, but I also discovered (mainly on the dishwashers) that they must be recycling the copper and other electrical items from some of the machines (they were processing some of them into the big rollaway you see in one of the pics).

Hotpoint set: What year was that washer? We used to have a 1964 model that had a console very similar to the that of the dryer, which must be an earlier model than the washer featured. I think that model washer has come up as a POD. Thanks in advance. Have a good one, James | ||

Aberdeen is no more. Just empty fields now. They were an older couple that accumulated old appliances along with other "stuff" and had them on their place I believe. Others here would know more details. Did they end up with all those appliances from being in the appliance business at one time?

Nice trip down memory lane. When I lived in Phx I picked up a couple of machines from that place -- that was back in 2003-2006, and even then the pickings were beginning to slim. I did get my gorgeous '64 Kenmore set from there so was grateful to have stumbled on the place. And that relentless Arizona sun just baked the hell out of so many of those machines sitting out there. That Hotpoint that is shown in the old thread was there even when I was there and I was just as tempted to take it home until I looked "under the hood" and saw that most of the guts were already taken away.

flyingethan- Just a question, i hate to ask but if you do happen to go to the appliance express yard and run across any ge filter flos and any hotpoint rim flos could you snap a few pics of them and upload them on here after your trip. Dont go out of your way though, as i will probrably never get to go there over 2,000 miles one way. Just let me know what you think! Thank you -Doug

Like Kevin, I have been there several times. To be able to go through the yard, the owner has to give to "OK". If you go there and he isn't there, the employees won't let people into the yard.
Also remember that these machines are outside in the sun and have been for years. Here in Arizona it gets 110+ degrees in the summer time. That heat isn't good on the rubber and plastic parts of the machines. | ||

I'd love to go through a yard of appliances, but truth be told, I'd feel bad with the excitment, knowing weather is continually doing a number on these vintage appliances. Did you say four hours flew by, perusing the yard? I bet it did!
Thanks for sharing your adventures there, Kevin and Gordon. It's too bad these appliances can't be more sheltered. Glad you guys could find some things of interest to bring home. Looking forward to seeing more of these in the future, here. Wow. | ||

Todd (Washerlover) and I discovered this place together. They had a pink GE Filter-Flo in the showroom and a back room filled with the cream of the crop. Last time I was there years ago they had moved them out but no idea if they sold or kept them, but they were not interested in selling any to me at the time. Fun times going through that lot though, right Todd?

I drove by there a couple months back. It is still there. Pretty much the same machines that have been sitting out in the Arizona sun for the past 10 years. Not much good plastic parts left.
As Kevin stated, it is difficult to get to wander around the yard. The owner will be glad to let people look, but he isn't there often. When he is gone its almost always a NO. | ||

This place reminds me of one that was here in Tulsa at one time in the early 70's. That was were I encountered nearly every rare and interesting washer and dryer mentioned in this forum. They did away with all of it before the 80's arrived though. | ||

Something weird about
a place that allows you to look around when there's just ONE man needed to be on the premise...as if he has some all reaching control over all the acreage?
Who IS this guy? :-)

Chris, Scroll up thru the thread, I listed the name, address and phone #. Be aware though that unless the business owner is there, it’s really difficult to get them to allow you to wander around the yard. The manager claims “our insurance does not allow it“ and they can be rather rude about it. Just FYI. | ||

"Drop You're Pants & Jacket off" self service o
Wonderful treasures lurking behind the sun rain drenched stowaways for some lucky home.
The store name and my name Amanda Deal With as owner operator of this fine establishment, offering additional services inc rocks polished in the lower level every other night with reservations. This new group of friends in Milwaukee, I meet years ago, amazed to learn of my little secret about appliances, and created this new handle & store name with a hidden agenda for the man in the know. Fun to see the yard of treasure & this logo Thanks Launderall | ||

Actually, it looks like this place could use a good culling.
To be truthful, the place would be much more manageable if the owner disposed of the plastic tub dishwashers, a lot of the Kenmores in poor condition, ranges in poor condition and the recent refrigerators. Parts for them are available now and it looks like a lot did not last long anyway. Probably do not need most of the front load washers either. Even a library has to do some "culling", books in poor condition, have not be checked out in a long time are often given away.

A Perfect NOT Boring Place !
These pictures are featured on the washing machine blog spot website which is cool:
washingmachinesmuseum.blogspot.co... One of my most favorite sites minus the politics of course. | ||

Reply # 103 Opps You are correct that the MT 808 panel is actually pot-metal and glass so it might actually survive if it does not get too pitted.
Is Frank Sharp the owner of this appliance junk yard Chet ?
I looked at his Webb site and don't see anything political about it at all, its way over the top boring with all his safety warnings and lots of wrong information.

Good Question. I'm not sure, I want to say he is not the owner of the haul away yard in question based on the information provided by the OP. However seeing that these images are copyrighted I'm guess that Frank either went to Glendale Arizona to take the pictures or he owns the property.
4.bp.blogspot.com/-XNp1Pa31Lss/U... Regrading politics, remarks are seeded throughout his blog. He mentions a globalist conspiracy being in action and that people ought to give their lives in stopping it whilst under "OTHER INTERESTING LINKS" he linked to websites which were either ferociously anti LGBTQIA++; spread hate, intolerance, discrimination, bigotry; or made the accusation marginalized groups are actively engaged a conspiracy to destroy humanity via moral decline. All the while including a link to this site which I can interpret one of two ways... To be fair in the past years he has gradual taken down a substantial number of these links and deleted the worst of it. The site is magnificent in regards to its presentation of machines. It goes into their history, pictures of their innards, part diagrams, service manual excerpts and wiring diagrams to go along with most of the machine. But it was extremely painful seeing the rest attached to something so beautiful in what I thought would be a safe place away from ignorance. | ||

Hi Chet, thanks for the additional information I guess I didn’t read far enough to see the political stuff.
I did see all the technical information about how the machines work I’ll have to read some sometime I found a lot of faults with his general information about safety and so forth, there are just tons of mistakes so I didn’t take the whole thing too seriously. He’s definitely pushing an agenda. John L | ||

By all means. I've noticed some of the technical mistakes about safety as well.
The rest is fascinating. I've spent hours on his blog and still do. A while back I made a thread in dirty laundry about the site and posted some of the links that have now been taken down- if you're interested in studying his agenda further. | ||
