Spacemates...
Hi Jeff Hi John -
That Westinghouse SpaceMate set is actually under 2 hours from my Jersey location and I am truly tempted. Can either of you tell me anything about them? Would I be getting myself into heaps of headaches? My intention would be to have them fully functioning again. I know they look pretty special (and pink...are they pink?). Were they infamous for any reasons? Or conversely, were they known for their dependability? | ||

Were they sold or scrapped? | ||

Hi Richard - thats a good question. He was giving them away for free, but he just used the words "they're gone", so I guess that could mean either.
And yes, I was truly tempted - in my snarky disappointment - to fire back something along the lines of: "well take the damn ad down then brother!" My cool-headed self is glad I didn't do that. | ||

Hey there Chris - howsit going...
Yeah I was super deflated when he said they were gone. I'd heard of them but never seen any "in the wild". I've got this big fun project going restoring a 1959 condo I bought in Ft Lauderdale. It was quote-unquote upgraded sometime in the 1990s and of course they tore out all the original top-notch appliances and character in the place and replaced it with Home-Depot Super-Bland. I've been on the hunt for both a GE Wonder Kitchen (which were originally installed by the architect in these condos in 1959) and the Westinghouse Spacemates. I know the odds are steep, but I'm determined to pull it together somehow. I've never actually spoken with anyone who had a working set - do they run well? Hey, please keep me in mind should you ever wish to part with yours? or hear of others available... I'm searching nation-wide! Very willing to pay whatever the right price is. Johny | ||
