"Do you have a mixer valve gasket for a '52 Easy washer, the early version with the beveled inset? If it is not pliable, don't bother writing back...", that kinda thing. Heck, I have a big box of 50s parts, cheap! Do you want 'em? Send me 5 bucks & postage! Finally did get rid of them, mostly through other venues. Not really bad folks on those sites, but there is an underlying, um, trait that, um, seems to be prevalent amongst the members! (I think that's why I felt like an outcast!)

I just checked out the links to the two sites,and boy you sure weren't kidding
about the "prevalent underlying theme" especially on the vacuum land site!
It's pretty in your face.
That is definitely off putting,and alienates people who don't share their "trait",which is sad because there is a lot of info there.
