Seems like I recall even earlier in the '70s a "slice of life" type ad featuring a little girl and her little dolly that gets washed good as new in her Mother's super capacity Imperial. At the very end of the ad, we see the washer plugged in and lighted up, and in a very brief window before...

And here's the link to the Floating Glass suite, if anyone gives a rip http://www.jennair.com/catalog/floating_glass_suite.jsp

Anyone know what's happened with Jenn Air, which once upon a buyout was Maytag-owned, since the Whirlpool merge? Are their products, particularly the dishwashers, now going to be Whirlpoolicized? Their new series of finishes: "Floating Glass" and "Oiled Bronze" look pretty spiffy, although...

Steve, would the source you mentioned to Jason also have any 1963-model Kenmores, including any 800's? I am still chasing my 25-year old dream of owning one. Thanks

My birfaday is Feb 12. Glug, glug baby. And, I like all gadgets, including cars, lawnmowers, and motorcycles.

Keep your chin up. And keep hugging Terry.

And to add my two cents to the "it's really a rebadged F&P" cant, I noticed reading the manual that the water level is automatically selected by adding some water and then swishing the disc one or two turns to test for free movement - just like we saw in DADoES' video of his F&P. On another...
