Last Call Sadly, It seems people already have the machines and collections they want... and then some. or like me, aren't collecting. I had to throw the late 70s GE washer console I offered in Spring 2012. That went to scrap metal recycle. A few years back in 2010, I had a 1958ish Lady...

It's not a Lady of 78 or 79 because we had the first electronic Ladys then.   BTW- I have the lid and triple dispenser cover in Coffee brown, which is what the color this washer was.  A color that was rare after 1982, and I don't believe available in many models of KMs after that point.     ...

I like the yellow, and the P~I~N~K.   But, I would be afraid to turn the garbage disposal on for fear of getting water in the switch, and then,  ZZZZZ-ZZZ,  the whole friggin thing- counters, cabinets, sink, appliances- would be live.   Don't get me wrong, I like metal cabinets, but with a...

Are you going to melt it for the copper?

I wish I had the model # tag from the washer.    I don't know how he does it but it is awesomeness.  Gordon would be able to tell us not only the exact time it was manufactured, but also the age,  height, weight, ethnicitiy, sexual prolivities, and political leanings of the person who...

I think the two responses before this one,  <span style="text-decoration: underline;">MUST</span> be right. 

For what it's worth... It came from the family of the deceased elderly couple that purchased it new in NE Connecticut. When I bought it in 2005, the son had it stowed in his attached garage with all the other posessions of his parents. I doubt it has seen much useage.

Are we going to have a bidding war here, because I can't win playing favorites. I could list on Ebay.

Can anyone use this. It came off of a what I believe was a 1977 Lady K. that was functioning fine. Its yours but you would need to pay for shipping with paypal. If your interested send me a message with your zip code. I will send you the cost of shipping. I hate to throw it in the scrap...

GE 2800. My parents had the black control panel model. It squeaked. This one looks nice and clean. ... and Free. Why would someone pass this up? Bob, I'm impressed. "My current primary physician had htis exact same model " Dishwasher. How did you find out?

Actually, compressor based products, such as refrigerators, ACs, dehumidifiers, etc. Surge much more when they start up. For example: the first 1/2 second of a washer starting will surge 2 - 3 times the normal wattage. So a washer that uses 250 watts when operating will draw 750 watts its...

"... little boxes, on a hillside, little boxes made of ticky-tacky, ..." I think that was referring to Levittown style, and, if we were listening and aware, was an early warning of what would come, if left uncontested. The Gobbler- I know they were doing some roof repairs there this summer...

As nice as those consoles LOOK, IMO, they were not easy to maintain. The wood grain and that white/metalic strip was easily scratched and just from daily use of opening/closing the door, it would wear off. If you look at the picture above, a brand new machine supposedly, you can already see...

I can see where they would switch out Roseannes W&D. Maytag (like Kenmore, WP, & GE) was too mainstream. It would have detracted from here character. That would explain their other appliances choices, as well.

Exemplary work, as usual Louie. Most of these products are still available. The common thread from these type companies was either sugar or salt in a highly processed form. Good and fun memories abound, even for me.

I'm happy, from the stand point of respecting his unique designs. The thing is, his designs were often so far flung. They really weren't accessible to the masses. And today the designs are not at all eco friendly. And then there is the asthetics.... which is personal. However, I think most...

I was referring to the removal of... If the agitator is stuck, and you have it connected, the first thing I would try is filling the machine all the way up with HOT water and operating, if possible. The heat and steam will help to loosen parts. Wrap a towel around the top of the agitator and...

It's interesting that the dryer film was removed. I've seen appliances like this, with the film left on. Either the lite blue or the yellow plastic. Actually, if one likes the colors, why take them off. A friend had a WP set from 2000 he bought new. He didn't take the blue film off until I...

A hair dryer, rubber mallet, pin holes drilled for dripping liquid wrench into top of agitator... for starters.

I found one on the curb in 1985. In rough shape. Didn't last too long. Racks were really rusted. Yes, this was the model beneath the TOL electronic Lady. All steel tub, 3 level wash, yellow deluxe racks, baskets, and door seal.
