My "to-do" list has had this project on it for some time now so tonight I decided it was time to get it done and cross it off. I changed the speed-changer oil in the L-3 Laundromat, made a few adjustments and then took it out for a spin. It runs a lot quieter now and is even wearing the latest fashion in Maytag rubber footwear! Tomorrow is supposed to be hot and sunny so I did a bunch of washing tonight and will have it up on the line by 9 A.M. The Westy got her two test-loads as well as other machines around the basement. |

Hi Greg. You have a lovely collection of washers. I still have great memories when I saw them at the 2005 Convention. Ross |

That's a nice start for a weekend! Brings good memories back of the 2005 convention indeed. How many combo's are there now in your basement? Besides these too also the GE and the Maytag? It's wonderful running several washers at the same time, laundry is done in no time. Jon, I know your basement is flooded now and then, but isn't there some kind of concrete paint that can take that? Enjoy your weekend y'all!!! |

Greg it looks like you had a fun "mini washin" !! Glad that you can cross the Westy off of your to do list and that she will be in tip top shape for the September gathering. |

Glad you have the chance to use them all to yourself, because that aint going to last long!!!!can just here that Maytag sloshing away, AND, at least we may now be able to get near the Westy for ourselves after Jetcone hogged that machine in 2005 like he`d never seen one!!!....LOl Glad to see the Kelvy just in the pic, now thats one wash action that can put you in a trance...Enjoy the pegging out, we want to see all those clothes stretched out on those lines like a northern granny would do, Mike p.s. I thought you had a new water heater?? |

Louis - there are four combination washer-dryer units in the basement right now; 1955 Westinghouse Wash & Dry Laundromat, the Maytag washer-dryer, the GE Combination and, of course, the 1953 Bendix Duomatic. There is one more combo coming, a 1971 Kenmore from Tucson that Roger is bringing in September. Eugene - That is a 1964 A900 Maytag - all button control. Fred - I would be interested in the gears for the 50A, I never turn down spares for this rare of washer! Thanks! Mike D. - It's hard to see the lights in photos, but they are colored, just like Jon's Duomatic. Gotta love the lights! We're hosting a wash-in here in September (see thread in the Super forum) so get a plane ticket and head on out! Mike K. - I did get a new water heater, but it's a dreadful slow thing. Underpowered for it's size, I think. The clothes all were out on the lines bright and early Saturday morning, then I did all the bedding wash this morning so the lines are full again! Rich - I added a little STPP to the wash-potion in the Maytag, I used the last of some Arm & Hammer Essentials liquid which probably helped make more suds too. |
