Hi, We had a 1963 Gambles Coronado washer and dryer. I would love to find out more about this company. As I recall the plate said something about Skomogo(sp)? company, Minneapolis, Minn. Any info. for this would be great. Thanks, ABC-o-matic |

...nevermind, I just came across your description in the 1963 thread (LOL). What washer(s) followed to pair with the Coronado dryer til 1995? |

I guess that was kind of like the WT Grant Stores here in the Northeast that sold "Bradford" appliances. I believe also that the laundry equipment was Franklin built. |

Snatched this ad copy from ebay so it's not too good, from about the same time as that Kelvinator I brought home from Iowa last fall with Steve - Gyrafoam. (see link to archived thread) I haven't had time to get that machine running, but spending some time poking around under her skirt, I don't really see how it's going to spin a bowling ball very gracefully. Good thing I have a ball, I'll have to try it. CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK |

I remember seeing this ad-- I would have been in 3rd grade in 1967. It says the machine is "spinning a 15-lb. bowling ball", but it doesn't say there's nothing else in the tub. My guess is either the spin slows down to a crawl, or there's something else in the tub with the ball to act as a balancer. Is balancer a word?
