    Nice looking machine, Jon.  What do you think of the drying?  The fan-assisted "pro-dry" is only on a few of their models, should be a step up in performance.   I bought an 800 series Bosch (like Bob's) 10/20 and had an E-15 (water leak fault) 14 months later.  Took a while to find the...

The WP/KM self-cleaning filters get my vote as well.  During a 'remodel' of my 61 Mark XII, I had an extra self-cleaning cone filter from a 68 KM. I broke it open to get a look at the filter media and was surprised to see it was much cleaner than I expected it to be.     One of the most...

    That's very cool, so many buttons.  Here's a fun rabbit hole for vintage a/c's, yours appears to be from ~1968.   https://air-conditioner-man.tumblr.com/search/admiral

Nice save - and a pair!  I bought this washer used from a shop in the late 80's, fixed the wig-wag and washed in it for a long time.  Mine had the softener dispenser screwed onto the agitator post.  Great washer, well featured for a mid-line model.  I always liked that flatter, plastic timer knob.  

There was a study of these similar "Ionized water" laundry balls some time ago at University of Missouri, they found that plain tap water was as effective as the balls, though the addition of the silicone rubber balls to the load might improve the agitation action slightly from the thing being...

Yep, that's a 1st Rinse     These are wonderful, Rick.  Truly a rare washer, that's a hefty brake ya got there.  These minty low-use machines are getting fewer and farther between, thanks for sharing yours.   What do you think of the dryer?  

    There are parts for Asko/ASEA on ebay, you might try searching for parts diagrams and checking to see if any of these door-bottom seals would work.  Good luck - I had an Asko for five years, replaced the racks under warranty, then put it in my mom's kitchen where it went another six...

That set in the movie is a pink Maytag set, acquired from one of our own members for the set design.  It is too bad we never get a view of more than the top of the lid.

I'm glad you picked this up, it's a nice looking machine.  Congrats!

I remember seeing this set for the first time at your house, IRL as had only seen them in ads.  They are breathtakingly beautiful.  The angled panels, lights and of course, all those buttons.   John's basement held lots of treasures when we were there in '01 for the convention.   Now I can't...

    A spinner is a wonderful addition to any laundry room.  I watched for one locally for a long time, finally one popped up on CL.  Well worth the wait.   I have a feeling you're going to love this..  Congrats!     [this post was last edited: 1/28/2022-21:29]

Woody WP       I just brought home the 1970 Mark XII from Minneapolis a few weeks ago.   WP discontinued the two-way door, this guy is just a drop-down hamper door.

I've been using this for some time now, works well for the pre-wash on loads that have staining or discoloration.   I don't care for it as a daily detergent, doesn't handle baked on soils, egg, etc. so I use an enzyme based detergent for the main wash.   There are two Cascade gel versions on...

Would love to see the prototype (if one existed) of this washer/dryer.  I'll bet it was loud.

       This a truly nice find!  You will enjoy this washer a lot.    Our 72 low-end GE FF had a wire clothes guard, this is late production?   Have only found one Dispensall, gold of course, but the under-lid pan that stored the additives and channeled the water had been long removed.  It...

Annoying Drain Routine     Mine does this.  Not sure of the reason, but I'm usually using hot water washes so it stands to reason it's for a safety concern.

Remember seeing this for the first time a few years back, after the Keanu re-make came out.  

    Had a friend do this in her mom's KDS-17 once.  "Oh, it'll be fine."  It wasn't fine.  We ran about a dozen rinse and hold cycles to get the foam out of that tank.  Her mother was impressed with the cleaned up kitchen, "even the floor!" so all was well.    Up to a 1/4 cup of...

    Canadians must not have needed to be told to not reach into a spinning washer.     This is Eddy's Viking version of the POD Kelvinator.  With dirty, gritty work clothes, no doubt Tide helped this washer a lot.
