Ok I have a suggestion

I happen to have a portable kenmore washer that has a spin issue and could use some expert advice. I could bring it with me if anyone would be interested in working on this little machine. Just let me know.

Joe I say BRING IT!   Someone will want to tinker with it.  That IS after all, part of a Wash-In is (supposed to be) all about!!  

 

What happened at my Wash-In 2 years ago, aside from EVERYTHING else:  (photos) 1. Machines get inspected.   2. Machines get worked on, in this case three Kenmore washers had new bearings installed (NOT easy and only one was mine)!   3 thru 7.  A 1957 Westinghouse Spacemate is brought back from the dead (thanks to the generous efforts of a number of guys who came to the Wash-In)!

 

So yes, bring it!

 

Kevin

I have cousins in the area so I'd likely try to stay with them. Let me see if I can get the time off from work and what my family is doing.

Could anyone teach how to open up and rebuild a WP Belt Drive transmission?

Actually, it was the phrase, "...having an open shower in that laundryroom..." that woke me up. I'm not really into gold, myself. Don't mind if other people are, though.

Fake colour???? Revvinkevin...

Does it work? Everything I've tried either does NOTHING or makes me break out.... My beard started going white way ahead of anything else. G'ma told me it was a family curse: All the men who keep their hair go white really young...

Back on topic:

What's the function of the shower curtain?

Turnamat's comment made me wonder. How many countries do we have represented here? Does anyone know? I've seen Germany, Ireland, England, Italy, and Australia. Any others?

There are many more countries represented here. I'm from the Netherlands, visited conventions in 2001, 2002 and 2005. I've also seen people from Norway, Spain, Slovenia, Iran, Lebanon, Brazil, Russia, South Africa, Australia just to name a few.

Cool!I knew I missed a few countries but didn't think I'd missed that many. Anyone from Poland?

I'd love to attend a wash-in in another country. I've been wrapping up many loose ends in my life lately and with that wanderlust is setting in....

Alert! Topic drift

Quite a variety of languages represented. I'm impressed. I taught ESL/EFL for years and have studied or lived immersed in a number of other languages and would rather have any of those than have to learn English as a new language.

Yes, I know: "English is easy. It's just French smooshed on top of German." While that's true, that only helps if your first language is a Germanic one.

 Back to topic:

It's unfortunate travel is so expensive and time-consuming. It'd be fun to attend wash-ins in other countries. 40 years ago we were all told that by now we'd have left supersonic jets behind and would be flying in hypersonic planes that would take us from New York to London in an hour. I'm still waiting, lol.

WHEW!!!

I've just sent off my co-op application docs to my attorney for review. Harder than it sounds as despite my best efforts, some of it got carted off to 2 different storage units...ggrrrrrrrrrr. I need to pick up a few things from my CPA and my job this week, but other than that I think I'm done! It's time to relax....at least until everyone has gone through it all and lined up a million questions for me, lol.

Can't wait for the weekend!

Looking Forward to it!

volvoguy87's profile picture
It will be a very hectic weekend for me.
I'm leaving Friday after work and won't get there until after the Friday evening festivities have concluded. I'll participate on Saturday and some Sunday, but I have to help some cousins in Pittsburgh to pick out new appliances for their home at some point.

Dave

PS: I'm bringing a Kenmore with a bad transmission if anyone wants to teach me how to rebuild it. I'm also bringing a spare transmission for it anyway. I'm also bringing the transmission out of a Maytag A702 in pieces because I can't get the !$$^#%@#$ O-ring to seat properly. I'd love to put ti back together. And laundry. I'll bring laundry of course.

ARGH!!! It's all clean!

I came home tonight to find all laundry had been taken to the laundromat.

My fault, really; I'd neglected to mention that actually washing clothes was part of a wash-in...

Leaving after work.

volvoguy87's profile picture
I won't make it today because I'll still be on the road. I cannot leave until after work. I'll plan on being there at noon tomorrow since that is what the schedule says.

I've got a 1981 Kenmore in the back of the car already with a waterlogged transmission I'd love to open up. I'll also bring a new-to-me transmission, sans water. I'll also be bringing the parts to a Maytag A702 transmission because I need a bit of expertise in installing the new O-ring. I'll have the base of that one with me as well because I cannot figure out how to disconnect the damper springs on the old-style base so I can replace the damper pads. I figure as long as I've got it apart this far, I might as well replace the pads :)

Even if none of my little projects get touched, I'm looking forward to meeting people and, of course, a little laundry.
Dave
