It is a very sad month (October) as by the end of the month i have to vacate the garage i have been using for the last 5 years, I therefore am going to have to get rid of all my beloved machines as i have no where else to store them, I will keep one machine and possibly a dryer for myself so that when when that pile-of-shite Aqualtis packs up i can at last have real washing machine in the house.
i will offer these machines out to people within the group that want them, if anyone is interested you can contact me by email on my profile page. Gary

I am so sorry for you and the situation. I hope something turns up as an alternative space before you have to get rid of your collection. Tom | ||

Tom
Cheers Tom the garage i have (pro tem) is ideal in so many ways, secure, power, water, any garages that you rent from the local council are in pretty shite areas and i dont think the machines would last long what with every other unemployed bloke doing scrap metal
I also have health issues and am not strong enough to do heavy maintenance work on the machines which is also a problem I cannot imagine what it will be like to not have these machines in my life im still grappling with the whole thing Still we shall see maybe i will take up Macrame ;-) Gary | ||

I hope you can find a good home for the Keymatics as they are really museum items. Actually, that is a thought, if you have any local museums that exhibit such things you could offer them on loan. | ||

Hey Gary,
Really sorry to hear about your health issues and hope things work out / get better for you!
I also hope you are able to find another storage location SOON! Do you have a self-storage facility anywhere near you? This should prevent or delay disposing of your collection until you can find another solution.
Kevin | ||

a special thanks to kevin who has asked me.... to live with
You are very welcome Gary! However I would only have room for the 3 keymatics. We'd also have to see how Westy does with cats. Though I fear he may decide one day the guinea pigs are lunch.... (everyone says I don't feed him enough)! (not true, not true) Also yes, it may get a little shaky around here once in a while, but it doesn't happen often AND you'll get used to it!

Gary must be really bad having to get rid of your collection. At least the members on here will love them just as much and make sure they have a future in stead of ending up on a pile somewhere. I know what you mean about the council garages. They wouldnt be secure if they are anything like the ones by me as the kids smash thru the roof's to see what they can pinch.
I'm not too groovy with health issues mate but hope you manage to get through parting with your machines. Were all here for you matey Robbie | ||

Gary
Sorry to hear the news. Id' be in shock if it came to that , some machines I've had for 30 years now. But the day will come sometime.
Hope you can find your way back health wise and its nice to hear the bulk of your machines will live on in other collections. Too bad there is a pond seperating those Keymatics from Dr Frigidaire! | ||

Dodgy Doctors
Hello Robbie thanks matey , things change some times for the good sometimes not but hey ho we are still here :-)
and as you say i am very pleased that the machines are staying within the group and not ending up in a rental property. Lance thanks for saying about the delivery guy, moving these things about is hard work at times, one of the machines came from Stockton way up north, its thanks to several members who relayed it down to me that i got it. Doctor Frigidaire I know its a shame but in a way i feel kind of safe with the pond between us, coz i am sure if you were here I couldnt refuse you anything :-) So chaps thanks again Gary | ||
