Works good - a little anyways. The knob on the front, you pull either once or a little bit further and that activates the churner inside.. You can tell the wringer is trying to work. There were 2 cords - well, basically one that plugs in and a vacume type tube of sorts that had a primer type air bulb on the end.. It just totally crumbled as soon as I touched it (Pict) - Maybe this is what causes the wringer to spin... ??? - Questions for someone a couple generations past me. haha. Not really even that loud when it is turned on. Can not find an on/off. But if the from button is pushed in all the way the stirrer inside stops turning. Pretty neat.
I’ll bet some lady years ago was super stoked to get this new washer. Do you know the original owner?
 
Tons of old stuff. Too bad it wasn't worth anything. - The original owners were paternal grand parents. I think I shot picts of their first wash machine. G-ma's old electrolux's - Even a chair from cossco.. I never knew cossco was around back then. Probably 60 old red clear records - a few at 78 speed, all church hymns... This old washer would Not have a mother board and while electric should switch functions mechanically. I will check for someplace for gear oil. (Thanks Grey Wolf) I'll see whats up... Thought of touching base with a maytag repairman but I am going to try my luck with youtube and an extremely basic understanding of mechanical streetsmarts. I sort of cant wait to get into it... Monday stuff... I been searching for months - somewhere down there is an old pump organ with a built in amp that fits in a slightly larger suitcase. Still looking for that one. Rhubbarb Moonshine - Smooth and devastating !!!

I have that old metal sink in my garage. There is a top that fits on it you may find in your treasure hunt. The old red 78s are pretty cool too.

Those records may be worth some money. Looks like Marley Sherri’s organ music for funerals, etc

thats kinda creepy and creepy stuff sells. The red vinyl would probably make it collectible too. Was your grandfather a funeral director?

Rain predicted today, starting at 33F, which should make more of this snow and ice disappear.

I had a nice conversation with a brother who has developed a procedure to increase the concentration of cannabinoids in an alcohol extract to about 80%, which is close to fractional distillation levels. He should be publishing shortly.

The amplified antenna for our TV is scheduled to arrive today for trials. It is rated at 500 miles range, while our existing one is limited to about 60 miles. We also have a TV cabinet coming to set the new Sony TV on and provide space for the rest of the electronics, but not due until March 3.

A visit scheduled today with an associate operating an extraction and formulation lab outside Salem and should have some new distillate and isolate samples to try.

I've continued to titrate the gummies I was gifted and am up to 140 mg this morning. 120 mg had good effects and approaching limits without falling asleep.

Good morning GW and all of you morning peeps.
your friends alcohol extraction process sounds interesting. Wish I wasn’t so afraid of working with alcohol and heat as I’ve bypassed trying anything for fear of explosion. Perhaps that will change with more research as my interest is still peaking on the subject whenever it crosses my feed.
interested to hear what you get on your new antenna. We both hate paying COX for tv a heap of money and often wonder could we get the same stuff we watch using the internet and a good antenna.
Another new day for my little family getting use to dad no longer being in the house. I think the daughter is letting the kids stay home for a couple of days so they could have some time together without a million people around which is hard right now as her house fills up quick with loved ones wanting to pay their respects. Taking it one day at a time.
hope everyone has a swell day 🥰.
