jdgm Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) Here's part one - I think it was a different company called Gibson Appliances, nothing to do with Gibson Guitars. Edited May 28, 2023 by jdgm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know on both counts. The last thread was closed & it had nothing to do with guitars either lol. Seemed to be several people on there that knew a lot about old washers so I thought I'd give it shot cuz I can't find any info about Gibson washers anywhere else 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepdog1969 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I lost a girlfriend to a washing machine with an "unbalanced load". I was admittedly a bit agitated. But, because their relationship had such a shaky start, it was washed-up before she knew it. (He was drained) I saw that the Permanent Press gave the "contents of the relationship" a few hot and tumultuous cycles before the sweltery tidbits eventually dried up. What a load of sh....

I am not typically one to air out his dirty laundry publicly, as it may stain my unsoiled reputation. But your high efficiency, downy soft perspective exposes an unexpected wrinkle that I must wring out. I strive to Gain understanding.

Sgt. Pepper Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I'm so bummed I missed part one of the washing machine thread. Its like seeing The Empire Strikes Back before seeing Star Wars - A New Hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepdog1969 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 On a more direct "washing machine" reply, (my obtuse, pun laden laundry comments have begun to hurt my head.) I should mention my own machines. 17 years ago I bought my current home, and it came with a Roper washing machine and dryer (gas). A few months after moving in, the dryer stopped working, so I called a local handyman to see if he could fix it. The fix was cheap and easy, but his comment about my machines made a lasting impression. Apparently, Roper is/was a division of Maytag, and they were a semi commercial type of appliances designed for rental units. Mine are quite basic, with analog controls that increase the heat of the water as you increase the washing time. He told me never to replace them, but just "fix" them if and when needed. They both still work and clean/dry my laundry just as well as my father's "high end" GE units that have been replaced 3 times over 33 years due to unrepairable failures. My Ropers are 25 years old as of now, with only one dryer issue due to a faulty igniter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) Rocketman WAS a rocket scientist and he had an ES-339 during the same time I was gigging mine, which was like 13 years ago. Looks like he's been missing for over 3 years. Good guy. Edited May 29, 2023 by Murph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
