Thanks for all of the inputs, and I definitely don't want true antiques. I hope to find machines from the 70s or 80s, and yep I might have to get a white set powdercoated but I think I'll keep my eyes open for an original color. I have a serviceable set of Whirlpool Estate machines here to keep...
I've always just inherited them with my houses, as I always love to buy midcentury homes, and honestly they have always worked beautifully! I would be happy to pay modern prices for a set in good condition.
I'd love to find a set of vintage Maytag or Lady Kenmore machines in pink, blue, yellow or some other pretty colour within driving distance of Savannah. I love the machines made in the 1970s especially. Can anyone help? I seem to be drawing a blank in the neighborhood groups, local stores, Ebay...
