Jamie is visiting from Michigan for the weekend, so I thought it would be fun to throw a little local wash in. Being the busy host keeping the machines running I only snapped about 15 pictures and didn't get everyone in these shots, but Jed took over 120 pictures and he said he is gonna post those when he can. Jamie (pulsator), David (Karen's Husband), Karen (ms. jetcone), Jed (tuthill).

My very 1st vintage load! This is the load that corresponds with Robert's pictures in the first two posts of the thread. Note how I only have the finished product as I was too enthralled by the cycle to be busied with picture taking!

If I could choose one... After the inagural cycle in '55 Uni, I simply knew what was next. The '57 pink Lady Kenmore set was drawing me. These machines were definately my favorite of Robert's collection. Just something about them that I can't explain.

Little to much suds The poor '57 Lady got a little too much suds than she could handle, so Robert had the bright idea of doing a deep 2nd rinse in the ABC-0-MATIC! Of course I'm not gonna argue!

Just plain WOW! I don't think I had ever seen as many photos of Robert's basement before as I did in this thread. Very nice! All those machines! It seems you have an example of just about every major design on hand. One question, when you do your own laundry, how in the world do you ever decide what machine to use? I just loved the clear tanked Maytag wringer..... | ||

'Tis but a memory now...
... But what fun it was!!!! It was so much fun seeing friends and meeting new faces!!! That wash-in was definetly a HUGE success!! I can't wait for the next one! (I'm thinking Omaha?) ;D Robert, you have such a BEAUTIFUL collection, all it needs is that Apex Wash-A-Matic! (And maybe one less Unimatic... you know, I could help with that!) I can't wait to return and see them all again!! Jed, so many wonderful pictures!!! I especially love the ABC-O-Matic's picture, that was perfect timing! And btw, I didn't overload the Norge THAT badly, I think... lol! What does Bob think? Is it overloaded or loaded just right? :) | ||

I'm sure it's just fine! Although I do remember Robert saying, "now that's a happier Norge". LOL I agree, the wash-in was extremely fun! Lots of people, and everyone had a great time. I'm still getting used to the fact that other people like washers too! | ||

Robert, I didn't know you had found a replacement baseplate for your 57 Lady K. Glad you got that one back in service. Oh did I forget to mention that? :), me too Rick. One question, when you do your own laundry, how in the world do you ever decide what machine to use? Well Allen, I usually don't think much about it. I use the Unimatics, the Super Unimatic, the Speed Queen and the Kelvinator the most. Others get their turn as I see fit and depending on what I washing. Items with lots of dog hair go into either GE or the Super Unimatic, Jeans in the Kenmore, Towels in 700+ rpm machines, colored clothes get washed in all the other machines. Each machine gets used at least once a month. It seems you have an example of just about every major design on hand. Everything but an Apex ***sniff*** Well, what destroyed the GE pump?? Probably a hair-pin or a pink foam curler! More likely a Nehi Bottle Cap :) | ||

Seeing the lint filter on the LK '57 reminded me of the '60 Model 80 I grew up with. Those filters really collected lint efficiently, and even though a lever was added to hold the filter in place by 1960, there would still be the occasional little geyser of water shooting straight up from the filter when it was clogged. You'd open the lid of the washer and get hit in the face with water!

How fun!!!
Robert and Neil are great host(esses)! I can always thank Ross (Westyslantfront) and the Tucson gang for my first wash-ins. I was simply amazed. The oldest machine I had ever used was my grandmother's 69 GE. I never even knew there were washers that went up and down or swirled around horizontally. And believe me I know what you mean about getting used to others liking washers too Tuthill. I felt so weird for the first time watching a machine with OTHER PEOPLE!!! *gasp* Glad you guys all had a good time! Wish I could have been there. Jon | ||
