They had an RCA CTC-31 up till around 1995 or so when they bought a new Zenith console. Also they were using their 50's Frigidaire up till that time when they got a new one cause they wanted more space in the fridge...they gave the old one away still working.

But that is such dreadful housework! The "modern" housewife can now have carefree washdays with a new automatic washer. Just load the clothes in and the washer does the rest. It washes, rinses, and spins the clothes clean.
Actually, wringers are fascinating as well and I'd love to find one.
