Seems a little spendy...

Cool Post! I love learning this stuff.

Brand new out of the box old machines. What's not to love? They're stunning. Congrats!

And saved from the gaping jaws of crusher hell, delivered verily by an angel of washing machine glory... Congrats on the rescue. It looks very nice. I can't imagine throwing out a good functioning pair... but there you go.

I've NEVER seen or even heard of these machines. Can you post a vid of it in action? This is from 1955? American? Where was the company located?

Ahhhh yes. The old self-destructing tape trick (in the voice of Maxwell Smart).

Good looking machines. Very contemporary for 1960.

That is so freaking cool, and I'm NOT a dishwasher guy. Is there a previous thread on this machine? It looks barely (if at all) used.

I might pay $25 for it, and if it was close, I'd go pick it up... But $250... mmmmhmmmm. and this scrap of linen I have is the missing corner of the Shroud of Turin.

Very cool. What year are these?

Patrick, Love those gold crowns... The control panel board angles makes me think one of the designers was plotting "It should have a kick up spoiler just like my new Vette!" Those look like some serious machines. Beautiful job restoring them.

Wow! Look at you go! It's amazing watching it coming out from that layer of paint and grime. If an appliance could sing "Hallelujah..." that one surely would be.

The Whirlpool is a SNAZZY design!

Isn't it funny. I thought to myself, THAT IS THE UGLIEST RANGE I'VE EVER SEEN!!! But to each their own... It's cool to see it, regardless, Goatfarmer.

I don't think to the same extent that you do, but yes... I do understand. I grew up with the black rubber hose-pipe, and the cheap plastic corrigated doesn't have quite the same, I don't know: Flow, industrial vibe. There is something kind of substantial and old fashioned about them...Like the...

That Hotpoint cleaned up a treat. You should be able to sell those for a fair price if you wanted.

Mrs. Teacher? This I learned today: I am learning that interesting people collect interesting washers... Cute photo, Jetcone. Yeah, I'd do the same thing with charcoal control towers... Rather like if I had a 1957 Citroen DS19.... Look, don't touch, don't even look so hard at my babies......

I know a condenser dryer uses quite a bit of water... If I remember correctly quoted on a combo, it was 30 gallons. What is the energy usage compared to a traditional electric dryer, and does it take more or less time to do the job?

I like that story, Tom. That's charming.

What year is that Hotpoint? It just looks so (forgive me for saying this) but cheap and plastic...
