Welcome to the club. No one is too old or too young to have memories of vintage washers. I look forward to your posts.

Have a good one,
James

Howdy! There are several of us "appliance nuts" here in the St. Louis area......For me, I am a little south of the city down in Jefferson County. Welcome to the club!

Keep looking!

That's the way to find them......I also look in the Post Dispatch classified section. I also look out for scrap yards when i'm out riding my motorcycle and you would be amazed at the appliances people will sit out by the side of the road or curb if you live in the city...Also start checking at the back of appliance stores, especially Lowes and Home Depot, you never know what you might spot. Good luck on your search! If i see anything I'll let you know.....
