The early 80's? The dashboard reminds me of my Imperial 70 (although this is not an Imperial) from the early 80's. Also the winged Super Surgilator. |

That washer appears to be in excellent condition. I remember seeing this model on the sales floor of PC Richards in the fall of 1985. Have a good one, James |

Good question, It looks like one of those ceiling hung compact GE Dryers, upside down. Err, right side up now. |

The dryer is a GE, and it's actually right-side up. These were also available as part of the WCI separate stack models and they were mounted upside down with the timer escutcheon that went on the same way. I have the one from John's warehouse, and it's very neat. I';d like to use it right-side up but the top is rough and I'd need a new timer trim piece. 240v machine usually, my machine had the 120v plug on the back for the washer as well.

You are looking at a stunning, complete Estey Organ from Brattleboro, VT. By complete I mean that it has the beautiful walnut top section with mirror (to keep an eye on the choir loft) candle shelves and storage shelf.
This bellows organ has a serial number of 250201 which puts its manufacture date at 1892. One of the bellows is leaky, but can be easily and inexpensively repaired by you or any upholstery shop. When it was working (in 2010) the sound was full and steady. Winning bidder should expect to make minor repairs to bellows and do a general dusting of reeds. The red fabric of the sound ducts could use replacement as well. It is dusty and has a few finger pokes (kids). Again this is a simple repair for you or an upholstery shop. Pedals were recovered in 1970 or so. The carpet is effective, but is easily replace with more traditional pattern. Because of the size of the item, this is a local pickup (Newcomb, NY) only. I will be on hand to help move it, but strapping and trucking is the responsibility of the owner/moving company. CLICK HERE TO GO TO CleanteamofNY's LINK on Glensfalls Craigslist |

Roger, Glad that unit was saved by one of us. I could not remember the craigslist area to add to my link above and please post some pic if the dash lights up when you get it home! Thanks for looking and saving! Also, that KA is the last electronic series before they went all manual control panel. Keep us posted if you do yank these units! Larry |

Thats a great range Roger glad you are getting it, the 1970s Self-cleaning FD ranges had a great oven.
The SQ pair is a great deal, if someone here buys them be sure to contact SQ as you have to re register them to get the reminder of the three year full warranty.
The compact GE washer is indeed a Franklin style machine, these were interesting little washers that were almost sure to suds-lock on the final pump-out and spin because the pump would often air-lock as it was mounted below the motor. I remember how we struggled with the terrible pump-out performance of these washers and WCIs only cure was to make the final spin almost 15 minutes long the machine would just keep struggling and finely would get the water out and get up to full spin speed, all the while you smelled the hot rubber smell of the poor belt. LOL WCI finely put an electric drain pump on these machines and did a neutral drain which solved the drain and spin-out problem. But by this time GE had the good sense to abandon WCI for their compact laundry appliances and switch to WPs DD Compacts and Thin-Twins. |

Yes John, I can attest to this, the one from the museum is almost through a belt now with about 4 loads per week. It's a neat machine, but even with low-doses HE detergent, it is still a froth machine. My friend who is using it now reports that the kitchen sink drain, which is nearby will start backing suds up through it. He did comment that it made the whole area smell like fresh laundry though. One other issue is the spin-drain on this machine comes up to speed too quick and goes out of balance too easy. While the suspension seems to cope alright in terms of shaking and banging, seldom does it ever reach full spin speed. My friend has to run the machine twice a lot of times to rinse things due to poor extraction from OOB. I have to say though, it's almost like that area was made for that machine, it's very convenient and fit nicely.
