she is half apart for her cleaning will work on more of it as time goes by but it looks pretty good. the man i got it from is in his late 80s and he said he got it in the mid 60s because they had 8 kids and they used it till the mid 80s then just left it sit.. it was still hooked up and the water was still turned on but i didnt try it so will find out

What a wonderful find. I remember seeing people in my family using machines like yours at our local laundromat on First Avenue between 22nd and 23rd streets in the late 50's. I always liked these machines although at the time I had no idea how or how well they worked. They always reminded me of those old Lux egg timers. And I love that light Robin's Egg Blue color. |

well i did paint it with the best color match i could find so well have to let that dry for a while and see.. if its icky ill have to wait till spring and redo it. but i took the timer out of the top of the cabnet and just hung it on the machine and hooked up all the wires and pluged it in. well she runs and runs a full cycle so the timer works yeah.. so next warm weekend we can play with water.
