Several members have asked me for photos of my collection. This is just part of the collection, but it's a start. As you can see, I've been rearranging and changing lots of stuff. Hope you enjoy the photos. Mark

These are the daily drivers. Just put new belt and rollers on the dryer and new glides on the washer. They didn't need them but I had the time so I did it.

This is what I wash the electronic air cleaners in. The Stainless machine is a 30" Dacor dishwasher with the old GM Delco technology. It has spinning bars and spin tubes under the upper rack. Really great dishwasher. They were discontinued because the brains at Dacor couldn't seem to keep them from leaking. With a few little tweaks they no longer leak!

Wow - the room is great!  Love all of the black walls and floor, makes a great way to show off the appliances.  That Philco pair is gorgeous with the colored indicators on the backsplash.  However, my all-time favorites continue to be the early 60's GE pair with the grey consoles on pedestals.

Have never seen so many 900's and 906's.

Is there any Holy Grail you do NOT have?

Would love to see a close-up of the Philco Washer control panel.

The Kenmore in the opening is just SICK !!! So are the Juke Box Philco's and the Lighted ABC. Holy the B Jesus !

I don't get a 100 in this Identify the Gorgeous Machine Final because I can't identify POST # 12 . A Guess--SQ

I thought this was a archive thread this morning..
Lightedcontrols..
Then looked at the date and new pictures..
Wow ! Good to see you back ..as I when I got
on bored here always admired your rare and great machines.
What an AMAZING COLLECTION !
As well as others makes this site a true collective.

The Decor dishwasher you have was on my former job showroom floor.
When we had cooking demos or large crowds, that machine
could handle a TRUE large load.
I like the three swirled wash arm design for top & bottom washing. And the stainless wash tubs at the top rack.
The machine we had a small leak which was a small wipe up.
They where very hefty in sound.. but not loud, you no its runing thou lol.
I beleave Robert got one of the inline water heaters from a Decor for his Super Unimatic not sure what Decor machine thou..
So then they changed the design, like you stated.
Three pics below of the new design ..not as nice as the later.

Your Philco & GE threads are wonderful machines.
The Philco washers are very hard to find, even in Phila Pa
where they where produced.
It is still one of my dream washer any model.
Thanks for sharing your collection, hopefully you
could open your home for the group to come and see
Your beautiful collection would be nice.
New 30 inch Decor dishwasher.

some of the 50's and early 60s music run by as I view these - replies 17, 18, and 23 are some of my favorite turquoise units....truly impressive, again - it's good to see such vintage pieces outside of an advertisement or our memories.

Too bad you all can't get a smell of that basement along with the visual.  I've been there a couple times over the years and with all those machines it just has this distinct and wonderful smell!
