Hey guy, our buddy Mr. Langdon up in Seattle posted something on this ad recently. I noticed there's a dent in the lower left area of the front panel on that gold beauty last time I saw that ad on TV. Looks a lot like the one I used to have! Good luck to whoever has to haul that thing back up the basement steps! To those of us in the know, I think PG&E chose the wrong washer for this ad campaign. They give you $75 (I'm sure the washer has to be in working order though) to put towards a new machine. If that old guy was to replace his already efficient center dial model with a comparable modern day washer, I'm guessing he'd have to multiply that $75 by about 10. I wonder how many washer loads he'd have to do to accumulate savings enough to recover the extra $675 a new washer would cost him? I'm 52 and I don't think even I'd live long enough to manage that! Times sure have changed. I remember the PG&E billboards as a kid that contained the copy "Don't be a dishwasher, buy one!" Ralph |
