No, these came out of an estate sale in Lakewood of an appliance repairman. Did Modern get broken into or go out of business? |

Jeff440, If you are planning to sell those timers, you should connect them to power and make sure they work first. It would seem over time, especially with non-use, the windings in the timer motors may fail and the timer motor won't run/work.
Below is the link to a thread in which an Ingraham timer motor was very skillfully repaired. CLICK HERE TO GO TO RevvinKevin's LINK |

Sold, and most of their vintage inventory was loaded in to a dumpster. A few of us did some dumpster diving, but most of it was trashed. As far as I know, the place is now a regular appliance parts store, new owners. |

What! That is just so sad. Larry must be turning over in his grave.
Am not one to speak out of turn but the least they could have done was reach out to the community; am sure one or some of us would have clubbed together for the vintage parts. Yet another fine resource for vintage appliance parts and knowledge gone. Could sit down and weep at this new; when you think of what Larry used be able to pull out of that place. |

Many of us did buy stuff over the years, and we all knew Larry passed away and his wife Sharron was there selling parts for over a year before the place was sold [ and she was practically giving stuff away ], no one can have any excuses for not going and buying anything they wanted.
Yes it is a shame that I lot of stuff went in the dumpster, but how many of you were willing to drive to Ohio and retrieve it and do anything with the parts.
In response to Jeff's 2nd post it is another timer, I have no idea what this one fits. As he stated these NOS timers are practically worthless unless you need it, and several people that tried selling NOS timers on Ebay have found this out.
We probably have over 100 NIB timers for WP-KM BD washers and I will be lucky to use even two of these timers in the next 10-20 years or otherwise find homes for them. |

Well stated, Travis. If AW members knew Modern was closing, why didn't they say something about it here?
No, I would not have made the trip, but I know there are enough members within reasonable distance that would have, instead of just a select few.
A sense of betrayal is quite justified among those who would have made the pilgrimage to Parma. |

Many of us talked about Larry's passing and I talked about my trip there buying parts earlier this year, there was no attempt to keep this a secret.
I had been to Larry's over 20 times and every time I found more good stuff, and I spent well over three thousand dollars if not 5 thousand over the years. I remember how annoyed Larry was when about 12 or 15 AW members descended on MPs during a Vac convention a half dozen years ago and only myself and one other person bought anything.
This is after a business, and it is still in is, I have checked and the folks that bought MP still has many of the vintage parts for sale, all you have to do is call or visit. |
