WHO KNEW ??? An H-axis top-loading tumbler wringer. Can hardly believe it ! This is Fabulous, Andy. You know I've always wondered about the dif between the 2 trannies and with Lee's live demo, I'll know it forever, Thanks.
Gonna guess that 'tis the tumbler coming your way or that tiny insane portable.
We'll have to get the butter churning, meat grinding model for Laundress.
Happy New Year, hope your leg is doin' great. Are we all Lee Maxwell's grandchildren or what? | ||

Lee Maxwell
Oh Andrew, this is so spooky, I was searching the new set up on YouTube for Dr DaveBilliards who I rememberd had filmed at Lee Maxwell`s OldWash Museum, as I thought I had subscribed to him and couldnt find it on the new system, I eventually came across it earlier as well...Lol
then like you, I looked at the comments and saw about "The Washing Machine Song" by John Hartford and then searching his other songs saw the video about his gravestone, young to go so early but he had battled HL for many years, always rememberd his songs and voice but could never place who he was... And yes was a surprise to see the drum Maytag with the wringer....when you look at all those gears and levers and motors etc....its a wonder there wernt more accidents, but I think back then, like a lot of things, people where more aware of what was around them and how stuff worked!!! Happy New Year, Mike Who from this group has visited Lee`s museum?? | ||

LEE MAXWELLS WASHER MUSEUM Andy thanks for posting this, I have had the privilege to talk to Lee Maxwell several times and several people here on AW that I know have visited his place. He has done an incredible job of restoring and displaying almost one thousand different washers. His book is also excellent I keep extra copies around to use as gifts for washer folks. If anyone here doesn't have a copy you should contact him and buy one, or more.
Unfortunately when he gets to explaining how the MT AW transmissions work in the video there several mistakes. He is describing how the helical drive washer works when he is on a 1949 design AMP washer, what he is describing didn't happen till 1956. And then he describes the 1990 Orbital transmission as a helical transmission, the term helical drive has nothing to do with the transmission itself.
Great man though and I wish everyone here at AW a great NEW YEAR. | ||

By all means Keith, one for you, too ! It's just that Laundress has so many classic, vintage, and ancient goods in her household that as soon as I saw Lee's Turbo Tag, I imagined L churning and grinding away in urban Manhattan, the contrast so exotic.
Yes, I'm still hanging, Keith ;'D Scroll down the screen to Lake Shore Grunge Thread to see the pix. And while I find you a Tag, please make me some lightly salted sausage, LOL. Can stand all the salt in "reg'lar." Do I want to eat sausage or suck on the salt shaker?
Any more guesses as to what machine Andy has waiting in the wings?
A Safe New Year's Eve to All. | ||
