Got a call from the wonderful Tom Anderson who rescued these from obscurity and offered them to me. He already has a set just like this, and they are such fun to play with. Thanks Tom!! |

The Hoover dryer, with the lint filter in the back of the drum, ala Maytag! |

Great find! Contgrats, especially on the dryer. Always wanted one of those Hoover dryers, but would only use them out on a porch as they vent directly into the room, and don't want all that heat and lint scattered about. Geoff: Hoover twinnies go for next to nothing or for big bucks, depends on who wishes one and for what. Have seen several on eBay languish with no bidders, others go for a decent price. Gave about $50 or so for my near MIB 0512 unit, indeed it cost more to ship the thing. With cheap Asian import portable washers, and decent enough offerings from Kenmore/Whirlpool,and GE one really has to have a "thing" for using a twin tub washer. While fun, they are labour intensive and very noisy. L. |

Yours is mint; mine isn't! So would you tell the story? How did they remain so perfect for 50 year old machines? I would love to have that washer. I'm so glad you have it. The automatic rinse which is a true marvel to behold--you'll be shocked when you figure out how it works--makes using it less labor intensive than Laundress's. The spin is so over the top that your best jeans that you need right now will be out of the dryer in minutes. A big dryer, that is, not the little guy. Whenever you need something ten minutes ago, nothing can beat a Hoover. Aworg scout's honor. |

Looks like one of the end-of-the-line Packards. A '56 or '57 maybe? My Grandfather and Father loved 'em. Many childhood memories standing in the floor of the back seat watching the world go by. |
