I plugged it in and it even works! I won't wash in it until a thorough going-over, but it looks encouraging so far. The control dial is controlled by the transmission, gears run the "Auto-Trol" timing mechanism. When the machine changes from one function to another - the dial literally flips around, very cool!

Congratulations Greg!! You are going to love that Blackstone. That washer is built to last forever and I won't be surprised if it needs very little work to run! Can't wait to see all you new toys!! Terry | ||

Psychotoploader ;-) - a NIB Petticoat is on the way! Too bad there was no lint filter until the later Blackstones, it would be a very cool thing to imagine though - you gotta love the Petticoat engineering, just think of what they could do with a lint filter! Good thing I'll have a petticoat since it seems I need to burn my jockstrap... Ben, the Liberator range will replace the Maytag, it's going to look like hell in my kitchen (being pank and all) but we'll recitify that this Fall. Mike, I'm not sure about the timer dial, I think it's run through the flexible connector/pipe but there were a lot of differences between the original Blackstone design (as this 150 is) and the later 250, 350 & up when they changed the entire mechanism as well as the timer indicator linkage. This has far more cast iron components and weighs a TON! The entire mechanism is supported by those rubber mounting cushions. Even after so many years of not running, it was nearly silent! I can't wait to wash in it. | ||

Greg, This is awesome! I had no idea that you were getting a Blackstone! I am sure your driver asked you what in the world is in this crate when he saw how heavy it was! I am sure that this will bring loads of fun! Thanks for the pictures. Brent | ||
