Just wanted to share that as a child, young guy and grown man, I felt like a freak of nature having an interest in appliances and how they work. It was probably the only issue I KEPT IN THE CLOSET. My partner and our closest friend still think I'm a little weird.
I found this site about a year ago and LOVE IT. Check in on it everyday-usually a couple of times a day. Anyway, just felt like venting/sharing a little this AM. Hoping to meet some of you!!! Feel free to get in touch.
From St. Pete, Florida, that's all I'm saying. Have a great day. The End.
Keith

Keith, thanks for introducing yourself, if you ever get to the DC area get in touch and we can make almost all of your washer dreams come true but you may have to send your partner sight seeing, LOL.

I'm weird and you are welcome Keith to let your appliance dress up for the pink parade at the arcade.

Did it ever occur to you that spending $1500 for a new washer that you know perfectly well will have a ruined bearing or a blown control board inside of three years is what's WEIRD?

You are absolutely sane and sensible - you are interested in tried and true, lasting technology that can be bought cheaply and repaired readily.

So there, LOL!

Thank you all..

...and when I get up off the floor from laughing my ass off, I will check the dress. And back at 'Ya from across the pond. Never knew coming out of THIS closet would feel so good.

You'll enjoy the trip thru dreamland (otherwise known as John's warehouse)! I've only seen it in videos so far but hope to make the pilgrimage to the Holy Land some day. BTW, did you know that John will not let anyone drive up in a empty U-Haul? LOL!

Frigidaire washers by GM and KA by Hobart.

Never had a dishwasher that cleaned like the Kitchen Aids I grew up with and had in my houses. Would KILL for a Frigidaire washer from the early sixties.

Jetcone sums it up

I looked at jetcones post above and I think he sums it up perfectly," Coming out of the Laundry Room is a LOT harder than the closet!! "

I came out of the closet age 13 but was still in the laundry and vacuum room until I found this site a few years back age 50 something Your not alone; Welcome

Welcome

I joined over a year ago & then attended a wash-in at Revvinkevins in Long Beach. So many of us had traveled long distances for the event including the founder Robert & his partner Fred. I met the most fascinating, intelligent, fun welcoming group of people. All of us sharing our "passion" or "Fetish" for appliances. I was mesmerized with the detail knowledge & mechanical abilities in the group. I also log in about 4 times a week & will attend another wash in some day. Enjoy, Bob..

AW.org, Is the best thing I have ever found on the WWW.  When I first found the site I was almost late for work a couple of days.  Reading all the archives takes much longer now. Welcome Quincyman. alr2903
