Mid 1960's Philco Washer!!!! That was my Great Granmother's Washer (on my Father's side)!!! Last saw one in 1976, when I saw it sitting in her yard and a shiney new Speed Queen was in her kitchen. But if I could recall correctly, I thought the one my Great Grandmother had HAD a another knob...

I was born and raised in Washington, D. C., and here in the Nation's Capitol, Gas is the fuel that rules here. And growing up, the Ranges that were popular here were General Electric, Tappan, Hardwick, Caloric, Kenmore, and Magic Chef. In the more expensive homes, then you would've found Wolf...

1976-78 Sears Kenmore Model 70 Washer.... Here's My Childhood Washer From 1978 A 1976-78 Sears Kenmore Model 70 Center Dial Large Capactity Washer. That's the EXACT Model Pictured Below.... Don't Know What Color That One Is, But Ours Was White.... Enjoy!!!! --Charles--

First off, I would insist on having a vintage Belt-Drive Kenmore (or Whirlpool) right from the start. Either that or a late 80's/mid 90's Direct-Drive Kenmore (or Whirlpool). And yes, nothing lasts forever. So when my old and trustworthy Kenmore (or Whirlpool) tells me it's time, then as much...

But question though!!!! If GE made Washers for Hotpoint, then how come those old GE Filter-Flo's seem to run on for ever and ever, and the Hotpoints tend to have such short lifespans??? That is if they supposedly had the same innards??? I even read/heard that the JC Penney's were built like...

Hotpoint "Lady Executive" Clothes Washer..... In my own humble opinion, I think this one is from the early-mid 1970's if I am not mistaking... Cool Washer Nonetheless!!!! --Charles--

Sears Catalogs on Ancestry.com.... I signed up for my month long trial yesterday. And I did get a chance to look at some of the catalogs that I do not have in my collection. And then I did FINALLY answered the question which was burning inside me for such a long time. While I have seen some...

1961 Lady Kenmore Washer!!!! As someone discusses and might I add, debates with you about Kenmores all the time, I always like it when you and I always exchange correspondence when we discuss various facets about Kenmore Washers, even when we disagree. This is why more than anything, I want...

@ Tomturbomatic.... But then, depending on how high you have set the water level, was there any chance of any wash water spilling out onto the floor when you stopped the washer to open the door?? Or did the water go down to the outer tub to JUST below the porthole when you opened the door just...

And what about using bleach..... Kevin: Being that the earlier Front Loaders did not have dispensers back then (save for the deluxe Philcos and/or Bendexes I saw), if you were washing a load which needed to be bleached inside this machine, how did you add bleach to this machine when you didn't...

BOL Kenmore Washers...... The washer that is pictured at the top of the thread looks like a 1980's Direct-Drive version of my early childhood Kenmore that lasted from 1967-78. Well, pictured below is the 1967 Belt-Drive version that I grew up with. Ours was paired with a 1975 Kenmore...

1961 Sears Kenmore Dryer.... Interesting Dryer!!!! Looks to be in great shape to be 52 years old. Is that a 1961 Model 70 or Model 80??? Does that panel light up??? I've seen the Washer before, but hardly the Dryer... Hope someone scoops this one up soon. --Charles--

@ Hippiedoll: I would look into a vintage Upper MOL to TOL Maytag Center Dial. That, or a vintage Whirlpool/Kenmore Belt-Drive (Mid 1960's to about 1987). Good Luck.... --Charles--

Other Machines..... @ Gordon (Again): The other machine that you are talking about that is the "King" of the 24" machines. That was a Dual Valve machine indeed. But now, being that THAT one also had just a timer, how were the Water Temperatures adjusted on THAT machine??? That machine was...

@ Gordon You are correct..... Our machine was a Single Valve model. You had to adjust the Water Temperatures directly at the faucet. And here's another trick I learned from my Mom early on after she got the machine. This machine was supposed to have a Single Water Level??? NOT TRUE...

There it is.... My early childhood Washer is the VERY LAST one that is on the bottom to the right. One thing I can say about that machine, as small as it may be, it gave our clothes THE BUSINESS. That Baklite Black Straight Vane Agitator did NOT play at all. Clothes ALWAYS came out nicely...

That makes three of us.... I'm VERY sentimental to this Dryer.... Very quiet indeed. We had the Electric Version when I was growing up... Had everything you could ever want in a Dryer except a Drum Light and a Lighted Console... We had ours from 1976 until 1993.... It needs to find a good...

For anyone who otherwise has a Gold Colored 1969-71 Lady Kenmore Washer that has no mate to it, I just located a possible mate for your Washer right on e-Bay. Dryer is electric, and it is located in Las Vegas, Nevada. In THIS particular case, it is paired up with a 1992 Lady Kenmore...

Sears Kenmore Limited Edition Dryer This Dryer is a 1985 Model. I have a picture of this Dryer in my 1985 Sears Catalog. That's a beatutiful looking set too. --Charles--

So, when did Easy go out of the Laundry/Appliance Business???? I tried looking them up elsewhere on the internet, and so far, I couldn't find them NOWHERE.... --Charles--
