HEY GUYS....PICS LOOK GREAT....

Hey Jerry,

RE #3 My friend has a Lady Kenmore "Heavy Duty"
Harvest Gold Dryer, that matches your washer, that
he is looking to get rid of. Came with a Rental
property that he bought. Working or Not is not known,
but it all seems to be there.

I was getting ready to list it on AW, but have
been on the run, in and out.

I've attached some pics. If you are interested,
feel free to make an offer, and if all works out,
I can hold it for you till we work out pick up/delivery
arrangements. ( BTW--Thats a Kenmore Portable Washer,
next to the dryer,if anyone is interested)

"PARTY ON DUDES" !!!

Louis

Additional pix

It was good to meet everyone and I had fun while I was able to stay. I returned home took some support calls, lots of fun walking a chewbacca through a factory reset on his AP.

Looks like the Kenmore portable is back in action. For the life of me, could not figure out how just by taking it apart and putting back together fixed it, but hey it works now.

The couch is a 1952 Kroehler bought new by my Grandmother from Ohringer Furniture in Braddock, PA. It was our family couch forever and was always under covers..(the 1976 bicentennial cover was hideous!) I made Mom save it because I was going to have a retro room someday..the birds on the wall are from 1962 and have always been on the wall behind the couch.

Thanks for everyone that came to this years event! It was a great time that went by oh so fast!...I am planning on having one in 2015 the same weekend. I can't thank the hubby Tom enough for all his work and understanding what wash-ins are all about...even though he can't tell a Maytag from Heidi Montag, I would not trade him for anything...(even a dream set!) And thanks to Drew for his food and beverage expertise...I hope everyone had a safe trip home and hope to see you again soon!!

Thanks again,

Thank You!

I had a great time, even though it was short. It was certainly worth the 10-hour round trip from Cincinnati and I hope to make it back in the future.

To clarify before someone else does, the Kenmore with water in the transmission was brought to the wash in, but not opened up. The transmission being serviced is from a Maytag A702 belonging to Classiccaprice, but currently living at my home in Cincinnati. The O-ring in the bottom of the transmission had failed and it had leaked oil. I've been working on trying to replace that o-ring for months but couldn't get the new one to seat properly. As the gurus at the wash in determined, part of the old o-ring was still in the groove, preventing the new one from seating properly! The groove is down in the input shaft tube, so it is quite difficult to see and my poor eyesight and dexterity didn't help. Thanks to the assistance from several wash-in guests, the transmission is now all set to be reassembled.

Thanks to our generous hosts and the good company!
Dave

I understand about the poor eyesight and dexterity. If this were 50 years ago, my glasses would be tri-focals so thick they'd look like cataract lenses...and that'd be without the prisms to (partially) correct for the strabismus, amblyopia, severe convergence insufficiency, and a few other things I've forgotten. Suffice to say, if I were at Hogwarts, I would NOT be on the Quidditch team! That's why I have all those cuts and bruises on my shins; I'm constantly walking into things.

I'm just happy that all these vision issues only affect my 3D functioning, not 2D so driving is fine :-)

That's actually another attraction of aw.org: I get exposure to all sorts of things I was shut out of when I was younger because I couldn't pick things up fast enough. Zero depth perception + machinery rarely = a good time!

Jim
