They seem to have a lot of that one style there! Is that the maytag A? With the black band on the tank, and orange top roller on the wringer? Wonder how he ended up with so many!? |

Hello Brandon,
The model A's are the very old looking ones in the foreground - usually grey or green. In fact, they were often referred to as the Grey Ghost (wherever that came from). The square tub with the black band is the model J2L, and the round one is the N2L. There are also a couple of E2L models - the other square tub in the background, and the one missing the wringer head. Note there's also a couple of Speed Queens! Too bad he doesn't have them under cover. They need rescuing badly!!! |

That place is about 2 hours from my house. Dont think I will be going there very soon, but it is very much interesting. Wonder if they have any automatics among those. Wouldn't mind some myself. |

Hello Ben...thanks for the clarification. It was hard to tell from the blog I found as to where the location was exactly. There had been mention of Lake View earlier in the blog, so I assumed it was there and when I did a Google maps search, it came up with Lake View and Lake City.
I have cousins just outside Villisca off Route 71 - maybe I should make an excuse to go visit them and pick up a Model A wringer on my way! |
