Here's a shot of what came out of the kitchen on Saturday. From the salad dressings to the biscuits to the desserts, everything was homemade!

Thank you Phil, I look forward to seeing them!
My apologies to everyone, I guess I should try being more patient as everyone returns home, settles back into work and recovers from an awesome weekend! But, it's not easy as I'm excited to see how the museum has changed since I was last there 6 years ago, plus photos of all the machines, the people, the food, etc

Thanks Martin (and Jeff). I recall a friend's mom used to load up several of those old bolt-down, no-safety-switch Westinghouse Laundromats, then put everything into the extractor. I could lift the lid just a hair and get a glance at the super-fast spin. I'm sure it pulled a lot of water out of the loads washed in the Westys. What was their spin speed; around 300 rpm, maybe?
And now I have a washer that spins at 1400---almost three times as fast as the 1960 Kenmore I grew up with. |

Eugene, not sure if Martin made a typo there but Jeff's extractor calculates at near 850 G's at full RPM.
The spin basket radius is a bit smaller then a modern FL basket but it spins at as much as ~800 RPM higher. Since rotational G-force increases at the square of the speed, increases in RPM make more difference then cylinder size. A modern FL machine will be in the 400-600 range by comparison. |

Ozzie, this is the pic you're talking about. First of all, So many thanks to Jeff Washaholic for getting shots of these gems. Spent a lot of time with him, and he just loves washers sooo baaadd, and he has a southern lilt to his speech that sometimes actually coos when he speaks. Delightful.
So here's the deal: that is indeed the Blackstone agitator which is covered by the infamous red petticoat. In fact, it was one of the agitators featured in the test at Cal's and Jeff's. The red petticoat was manufactured to create a delicate cycle of sorts for those early Blackstones before two speeds came of age. The petticoat shields most of the agitator leaving only l about and inch or so of the fins to do the work; it's quite an incredible little invention when you think about it. And for more insider dope, that agitator was number six in the test and was located inside the unbelievable outdoor bedroom and kales and Jeff's Garden. Moreover, I couldn't remember what the agitator covering was called, and since the test allowed you to have help if you admitted it on the answer sheet which would only give partial credit therefore for that answer, so sweet Jeff told me what it was. |

We got back to the wilds of St-Liboire later than anticipated due to some kind of system snafu with the customs systems at the Montreal airport and by the time we got in and had a bite to eat, we were wiped out. But here are some photos I managed to get.
This group was taken on Saturday afternoon before the big event at the warehouse. A bunch of us (Yogitunes - Martin, Jamman_98 - Joe, Moparwash - Jerry are shown in the photo). Joe found that minty Snoopy Sno-Cone maker, but I found a couple o'goodies myself. Not shown are a mission-style tiffany lamp shade and a record that I swear I have been looking for over 20 years.
Thrifting excursions on these wash-ins can be great fun - it's always neat to see what turns up in other states!

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post or if it should go over on Super, but here's a condensed version of our cooking day on Saturday. Also, many shots of the warehouse. Thanks, John, for putting together such a great kitchen with so many wonderful old ranges! Having Hans, Ron, Donald and Ralph in the kitchen was as much fun as anyone should be allowed! A great weekend and thanks again to all our hosts!!!

Now this was also a big first for Hubby... He's never been to a wash-in before and was a little overwhelmed...
In the second picture, the caption should read "No bloody way you are doing THIS in the garage in Ogden"
In the third picture, he's getting grilled by Jon, Greg, Steve and Mike.
But they got through to him and he was almost starting to get interested in vintage washers. We'll see... LOL |

Thanks for all the photos, Paul! Glad to see that Hans, Kevin, and the rest of the kitchen crew had Sunday off. Only had time to watch 7 minutes of the footage Ralph shot. Will get to the rest of it tonight. Hans's Southern accent takes the checkered flag!
PLEASE tell me someone got a snap of Jeff, Phil, and John L. together and will post it. Jeff and Cal, your house is to die for. So is the warehouse/museum. Awesome, awesome, awesome. This post was last edited 08/30/2016 at 15:34 |

Well, David and I had a great time meeting everybody and like many others here: a big thank you to so many people: John L, Jeff & Cal, Jon Charles and Jason and Sherwin who work for John.
It was great to finally meet so many others such as Robert, Greg, Paul & Chris from Canada, MikeyD and many others. And of course catch up with our friends Nathan & Michael from Australia too! I also have a personal thank you to a couple of members whom I'm taking back to Australia some machines and other appliances: Ben from Iowa, Don ( Jetaction) Kevin in LA, Tomturbomatic, Jon Charles and of course John L for my brand new Speed Queens! Some pics of all the machines wrapped and ready to go: Cheers Leon |

Echoing the appreciation and love for everyone from the planners and hosts to the great friends old and new. It was a whirlwind of good times and laughs, as always far too short.
Tom (tomturbomatic) met me at Roosevelt National Airport Thursday afternoon and we took the Metro to Greenbelt station together. Great to spend time with him and catch up again. Dinner at Swahili Village that evening with hosts and some of the invaluable help at John's that day. Friday, we washed chairs and agitators at Jeff & Cal's and set them up seminar style to dry out while we made a trip to the Air & Space museum at Dulles Airport. I only took two pictures at the party Saturday night, capturing some the appliance-joy in Jon and Leon's faces was the best of the evening anyway! Sunday, Cal & Jeff gave us a tour of Greenbelt, a New Deal planned community - so much to see in the D.C. area, and it's all fascinating!

Thanks everyone for taking the time to snap photos in the moment and sharing them here with us! It certainly looks as though everyone had a great time and the planning that went into it certainly looks to have been top-notch. Hopefully I'm able to make it to the next DC Convention. :)
Leon - enjoy your Unimatic and the Digital Maytag!

I wish I had been able to attend too. Great to see some old friends and some new faces and lots of great appliances. The museum was already great, but has been improved wonderfully. Great food too, I might have gained some weight! And goodness, in Jeff and Cal's basement there are still some of the same washers as in 2002! They have been well cared for! Keep the pictures coming, I'm enjoying them very much!

Can we not wait for so long of a period between these events....
and believe me, I know what a massive undertaking it is to pull one off...... but that museum is so beautiful, its a shame to see it sit with no one to admire it.....so much went in to the magnificent change over, it should be admired annually.... I feel a slap coming on.....but I would like to see something like every other year or so for these events......I am sure others would agree..... I have visited many times, and still can't get it all out of my system.......we always leave wanting more..... and I don't care if the fee was higher, it will always be well worth it....I will be there!... |

Just curious about something. What ensures that the museum stays around? Is there anything in place to make sure it won't just get wiped out when the last person that is taking care of it is gone? |

Looks like a grand time was had by all, the appliance showrooms look fantastic and to have a fully functioning kitchen manned with the best of cooks is a win win situation, congratulations to all involved in the many hours of preparation, dedication indeed.
Oh Leon, how big is that container ? ha ha..Enjoy the rest of your holiday and look forward to more pics and names behind the faces !! |

I hope the photos of that load of dishes in the Frigidaire top loading portable were after the machine had been run and unloading of the load is being done. Otherwise shame shame rinsed dishes. I knew I should have been there to supervise BobLoading of dishwashers and doing the majority myself. But health and work demands prevented that.
And as our illustrious Jetcone has stated:
"I have been with Bob when he has Bobloaded® other peoples dishwashers. Its an art, like Japanese Oragami for dishwashers, not a speck of space available!"

That attended and to everyone that helped pull this event off.
There were four who traveled all the way from Austria to attend, and several from the West Coast of the US, But in any event it took a big comment of time and money for everyone that came, Thanks You
And to everyone that helped get us ready Thank You, My brothers partner Cal was planning this event since January, he took care of all the registrations payments etc. Cal laid out the whole lead up in a week by week plan with almost weekly reports to Jason and I.
Around the beginning of June when it was becoming evident that I was not going to get the kitchen and the showroom done in time Cal drew up plans and got two contractors to build walls in the showroom and build out the kitchen floor cabinets and counter tops and cabinets.
This also would not have happened without the advance help of many such as Mike Haller [ dishwashercrazy ] who made two separate drives all the way from Illinois and stayed a week both times helping Jason install plumbing and also lots of additional cleaning etc.
And of coarse the guys that came from Michigan Kevin and Ralph and Hans and Donald and Ron that came from North Carolina to do an incredible job feeding everyone, Jason , myself and staff and friends are still enjoying this great food. We still have four refs and freezers still running at the warehouse.
In all there were more than a dozen others that came early and stayed days afterwards to help in this fun endeavor, A BIG thank-you to everyone that helped and attended.
Answers to a few posted questions;
Whats the future of the Museum, We hope to form a nonprofit board that will run and maintain it into the future. If there is anyone interested in possibility being board members let us know.
When will we do another Wash-In;
We are not sure, at least a few years, but I am considering doing a few smaller events where we either rebuild some machines we have here and or have people bring some of there machines that need repairs and or rebuilding.
In any event let us hear your ideas.
John L.

if not big events......definitely looking forward to weekend workshops of fixing, or watching machines get rebuilt, classes so to speak would be great......
would love to see the internals of some of these machines....good and bad designs, how things work and function..... I am only a phone call away for any help that is needed.... |

Jason and I trying to decide what to do with the museum kitchen on an ongoing basis decided to try canning 2 bushels of green beans this past Sunday
A few pictures to follow of the canning operation, in a few hours we had over 80 jars done |

Yeah Mike, we were there for Southern Decadence...but unintentionally! We'd never heard of it. We had gone to PCB and just decided to head on over to NOLA before coming back home. I've never seen so many "interesting" people, and I've been there for Pride...also unintentionally...it just happens to fall on our anniversary! |

In one of the early postings it showed a kenmore dryer with a window. I have never seen one before. Is it canadian? |

with the round window is a washer/dryer combo. Not a Lady K, maybe one of the last made. |

with the rectangular window is a Whirlpool, or an Inglis, not a Kenmore. |

Thank you!!! I didn't notice it was a combo. I have never seen that model. I serviced them for years for sears and never ran into one! It looks like a later year before they were discontinued. Thanks for the reply. |

My dad worked on at least 9 of them for three families in town who each had ten kids. They all had two in their laundry rooms. |
