I couldn't resist.
And, no, she did not suds-lock.
As long as you don't have to adjust the belts, there is a lot to be said for the Tragimatic.
Her ability to get even my clothes clean being one.
What a neat piece of machinery!

Hey Keven... can you post photos of the console too? Maybe any other machines / treasures you may have?

What year is it?

Thanks!

Kevin,

There is an enormous amount of stuff my honey has restored and a few things we have done together over the last three years. We posted the Westinghouse 1953 Rainbow range complete with the 'rainbow' iron year before last. Hmm, I guess it is time to put together a few shots of the neat stuff.
For now, here's another shot of the Tragimatic. I love her to tears, and she's PANK!:

Here's our latest project - a Shelv-a-Door

And yes, I know that was not quite the right spelling. We just brought her in, she's still under 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
Did the electrical just before the flood. She has had five months to dry out.
Things are rather a mess in these shots, we had just brought her in, so please don't think we are always this messy.

That's awesome!

Is that at your home in Germany or the US? I guess it would be the US because I can imagine shipping costs would be crazy to get one over there. Though it would certainly stand out if one could ship it over there!

Videos Please?

If possible, could you share some more classic washer videos? The more you folks talk about classic machines, the more I crave videos to add to my collection for endless classic washer enjoyment. Many thanks.--Laundry Shark

Laundryshark,

I will be happy to oblige, might take a bit, but I'll get to it.
Can offer a PANK Thumper, an 18 year old Electrolux FL, a 1937 Electrolux vacuum and soon - I do hope - an early 1950's Westyslantfront.
Maybe the KA Variocycle.

Anything sound intersting?

Video Requests

The Thumper, followed by the KA, and then the Westy. Looking forward to your vids whenever you can post.--Laundry Shark

This is all shot in the US. I do post photos from Europe, but those are usually vintage European equipment. Last big project there was a 'table-top' clothes dryer by Siemens from the late 1970's.

Interestingly enough, there are many US built refrigerators still running in Europe.

Until very recently indeed, it was common knowledge that the only two appliances which Americans did better than Europeans were refrigerators and clothes dryers. Rich people would have them installed in their houses. GE had a German division for importing and selling American side-by-sides well into the 1990's.

Today, of course, you can get big European refrigerators. But there is still a cachet to the old American ones.
