then I will do everything I can to attend.

However Frig is NOT allowed to use PODS!

He must succumb to powder OR liquid!

Maybe short visit or an all day affair for me. Only time will tell. Can't wait for Saturday to get here.

Maybe I'll go look in my piggy bank and see if I can make this one. If so, I'll be sire to bring videos of my LGs . Especially the WT1101CW!! I'm using it daily and still can't believe how great a washer it is. Small or giant loads, it gets everything clean and sings to you when they're ready to dry.

Martins Wash-In

combo52's profile picture

It looks like My Brother Jeff and I will be there on Saturday, and our partners will be along and stay for part of the time until they are hopelessly bored, LOL.

 

Special offer for WI attendees, I have a 1982 WP LHC4500 compact washer in almond with a Bi-Fold lid in Excellent shape that I will bring along and give to the first attendee who gets in touch with me and claims it.

 

I also have a mid-line GE dryer from around 1964 that is like new,  [literately only used maybe 2 years ], same deal as the washer.

 

If these appliances are unclaimed by attendees they will be available to others after the event for $50 each, stay tuned for other great WI offers.

We had a GREAT TIME!

Its always well worth the drive to get to meet new friends,We got back to NC about 10.30, we stopped in Maryland to see Johns warehouse..appliance overload!!!.We are definitely going to go back to New Jersey again, Martin made us feel right at home.It could not have been better, It was also great to see some guys I had not seen since Omaha in 2005.

Guys,
I'd like to say thank you for letting me have the chance to attend my first Wash-In.

It gave me the chance to actually meet some of the people from this site. You all are an amazing group. Of course, Martin was a phenomenal host. Getting the chance to see everyone using the machines and admire some of the treasures that Martin has, plus nibble a bit on some of the wonderful food that was offered was great. And yes, the Orange Crush Cake has gone into the recipe file for future use.

Sadly as I told Martin, I started feeling a bit under the weather again and thought it best to head back to Baltimore before I ended up regretting making the trip.

I look forward to being able to attend future events if possible, and of course, see everyone here on the site.

Take it easy until next time-

Have a Great Day!

Rick, Washdaddy

I'm glad everyone had a great time, I've decided I need another wash-in to go to... My 1st was John's back in 10/10, what a time. Unfortunately money is very tight right now and traveling very far is not really in my future at the very moment. So if anyone in the KY/OH/VA/WV/TN area wants to get one together, let me know!

I can't say enough about how great a person Martin
is, as well as a great host. He was my first friend
from A.W., and his Wash-In a year ago was my first.

Thanks to his wash-ins I have now met some other
Cool New Friends. What a Neat group of guys
and a fantastic experience. I truly am glad to
be a part of A.W. and to know you all.

Thank You!!

Many Many Thanks to Martin and to everyone else that came as well, it was very fun and I feel like we didn't do a thing, I never even got my tool box out of the van, Even Smitty had a great time largely due to Louis and Hans who are great Car Nuts as well, thanks for keeping Smitty from getting bored.

 

Next time I come up Martin maybe we can tear something apart, Thanks John L.

That Mixmaster!!!

Wow, dynaflow, did that gorgeous Sunbeam come home with you? She's a beauty! Almost looks like it was never used. When I went out to pick up my 1956 Hotpoint range from a member here I stopped at an antique mall on the way home and came home with a Sunbeam Mixmaster Model 3. But it had the white bowls, not the jadite. Wish I could have gone to this meet up.

Thank you, Martin!

This weekend I:

-used a twin tub for the first time
-used a wringer for the first time
-learned the air chillers in my apartment will likely provide plenty of cooling but precious little dehumidification and the condensate tray would benefit from descaling by way of boiling vinegar poured down its drain.
-collected a whole bunch of facts and figures I'll need some point to convince the board to allow use of Euro-sized FL's in our units.
-learned that I did NOT hallucinate (as I was told years ago) Sears window a/c units that had a high dehumidification/low cooling function.
-learned that I was right for telling my mother she should have paid the $$$$$ for the new racks and KEPT the KitchenAid Imperial from the late 70's
-learned that my brief visit to a town just off 95 in southern Georgia probably was just how I remembered it.

And that's just off the top of my head!

Add to that great food (chocolate pie, coconut custard pie, and orange soda cake for starters), great guys, and a shit load of fun!

Thanks to all for a wonderful time!

Jim

Would have loved to come to Martin's for the wash in. I was lucky enough last year to visit his place but timing was not good not to mention a mild heart attack put a damper on things. Hopefully next time.

I ENJOYED MY CONVERSATIONS WITH EVERYONE....

and I definitely enjoyed talking Mopars with Smitty and Hans.
I'm glad Smitty was able to enjoy the conversation, as well.

Hey John L. I'll volunteer to bring my Turquoise DG702 next time,
for all of us to TEAR into and hopefully get it up and running / LOL.
I def want to learn how to fix some of these machines. I definitely
appreciated all your advice and pointers from our conversation at
the Wash-In.

Thanks again to All for a Great Time. Def looking forward to the
next one.

Best Washes,
