Hi to all -- had intended to try to consign the Harvest Gold Maytag pair at a local retro interiors shop, but haven't been able to make connections, so am offering the pair on Craigslist. Dryer is gas; glass panel on dryer console is broken but a replacement panel comes with the pair. Had...

Welcome Welcome to the club, and I see your favorite appliance is dishwashers. The only experience I have with dishwashers is my 1966 (estimate) GE Mobilemaid sitting in my kitchen which I have never used as it would take me until the dirty dishes were petrified to accumulate enough to justify...

Congrats Congratulations and kudos for saving the Maytags from the old junkyard in the sky! I'm not 100% sure of model numbers, but I thought it was a lot earlier than the end of the center-dial years. I wonder, is that model Maytag the one with the lighted consoles with the dot pattern or the...

I'd mentioned this in my message in the thread about the pink Westinghouse pair, but wanted to be sure nobody missed it in case they might be interested. A local retro furnishings and clothing shop just got in a Westinghouse pair that I would estimate is about a 1962-63 pair, tail end of the...

Thanks again I'll take some photos and have them developed and scanned; I don't have a digital camera or video camera. It would be nice if Mom and Dad were still around to see and enjoy the pair with me. I know how proud they were of their first Westinghouse, probably about 1948. Mom talked...

Vintage Transport Vintage Transport offers nationwide service. You can request an estimate on-line and will receive the estimate in an email with a representative's phone number. If calling in to request service, I'd suggest calling the Phoenix, Arizona hub as opposed to the headquarters back...

Thank you -- and another Westinghouse pair is for sale in to Thank you for your kind messages of thanks. As I've said to some already, I've just been watching for a matching Laundromat washer for the 1954 dryer I already have, and look what came along! Am hoping Vintage Transport will get them...

Winning bid If I didn't know better, I might almost detect the need to apologize for having been the winning bidder for the Westinghouses. Did I fail to have a Kenmore shipped from WESTYTOPLOADER at some point? I'm drawing a blank on that topic, but if I am guilty of it, please fill me in on...

Forgot to mention the Maytag pair Am going to consign here locally in Fresno this week the harvest gold Maytag pair (1966 styling). Light-up consoles; seems to be the top-of-the-line timer dial model; not the Beverly Hillbillies pushbutton model. Again, gas dryer which I cannot use. Don't...

If anyone might have what I would consider my most sought-after (not only for styling but sentimental value) machine, that being the 1957 GE Filter-Flo with the salmon-colored timer dial and selector levers, would they consider trading for a 1963 Frigidaire pair? The Frigidaire pair is identical...

Wow, that Philco! It's a given that all the appliances are straight from the Mother Lode, but THAT Philco TV! Never saw one with the abstract-shaped screen like that! What a terrific styling idea. Wasn't Philco also the brand that was ahead of its time pre-WWII with a phonograph that used a...

Cold nights Thanks for the replies. Never would have thought of the light bulb solution. I will try that this Friday night being as Saturday morning is usually laundry time... and let me tell you, from one who doesn't get out much, if at all, it will be the most excitement I've had on a Friday...

Pushbutton / hidden console model Cool design! How well I recall my mother's cousin, who worked for Sears, Roebuck, at the time, having the matched pair of these beauties in he and his wife's kitchen in Southern California when I lived with them for a short time in about 1975 while...

Since we've started having the freezing and sub-freezing night temps here in Fresno, CA, the trusty '57 Lady Kenmore in the garage laundry area has started doing strange things: Fills fine, but then acts as though it has troubles getting going with the agitation speed and trouble getting the...

Wards How well I remember the M-W logo forming the dual diamonds; used to see it on the newer Ward's stores in Southern California and in the SF Bay Area when we lived in both areas. The original store here in downtown Fresno was a step back into the 1930's, until, in typical Fresno fashion...

"See-ment" Pond I don't remember about the kangaroo messing up the laundry, or ever having seen the terrific Maytags in use, but I also didn't realize people in some parts of the country really SAY "see-ment" until I ended up in THIS area where they say it all the time. That, and EYE-TALIAN.

The Cleavers I was happy to hear about the BEAVER episodes on the laundry topic as I don't ever recall seeing the laundry facilities in the Cleaver home. I thought maybe it was because all of the Cleavers were so squeaky clean, they never needed to do laundry to begin with. Maybe they didn't...

Thanks for the answers! Thank you, all, for the answers to my question. I wanted to say I recalled seeing a Whirlpool set in Donna's kitchen at some point, but didn't remember the Kenmore makeover at all. Some of you were obviously paying more attention to other aspects of the show than...

Terrific video! The possibility of purchasing one of those Zenith all-in-one units also came up recently, but the shipping would cost almost as much as the unit! Anyway, thank you for several minutes of the best home video entertainment I've seen in years!

And I don't even know the answer myself, so want to know if anybody may! Does anyone know the manufacturer of the washer featured in the episode of THE DONNA REED SHOW in which son Paul Petersen (be still, my heart) tried to be the heroic repairman and was also unsuccessful? I recall they had...
