Well, today was fun again. I arrived at a new place, John's Trading Post, met a man named Chris and he was kind enough to show me around the back. Actually this is a new furniture and appliance store which sells Crosleys. I gave my number on a card to him and he jotted down the name of this website. He may drop in on us, I don't know if he will join.

John's was formerly a SQ dealer and there were ample supplies of old SQ and Amana. Chris said that he does have some solid basket SQ across the street in a small warehouse. There were a few GE's (at least 2 FF) and some old center dial Maytag(66-80 design). I see these A400(?) popping up with incresing regularity.

40 miles north of Monroe I passed by a house on a street I never go down, but took it today due to a traffic detour. There was an old autoshop, a mobile home, a concrete patio or driveway next to it, a A400 sereis Maytag and a dryer infront of it-a Rollermatic era Frigidaire! In white, it didn't look BOL, had the pull on the door rather than the button to the side, possibly may have been a filtrator as I didn't see any exhaust port in the rear. Th ink tomo rrow I will take my binoculars and I can photograph these for you and send tomm. eve. I really haven't felt at liberty yet to snap pix of anything yet (that looks interesting enough to do so) Pleasant dreams-David

Found Frigidaire dryer and maytag were gone-think someone may have moved out of the mobile home. I am leaning now towards talking to Chris about one of the solid tub SQs he has. Want to look at them and decide. Ge ffs and center dial maytags seem fairly plentiful right now around here. 70's thru early 90's ff that is. The SQ would be my first and it is on my wish list. Does anyone have any last minute advice before I take this plunge? I can handle most mechanical work like this, although I don't call myself an expert.

Good luck David!! That would really be something if the solid-tub SQ's were the older solenoid machines!!!
