Hi, I found what appears to be a nice GE washer/dryer set. I know about the legendary direct drive Whirlpool models that come in various brands like Sears, Kenmore and others (in addition to Whirlpool, of course). I was looking for one of those, but I keep seeing various GEs but know nothing of...

Thank you everyone for the great info. Looks like the vintage stackable idea is a bust. One idea I'm considering is to buy a conventional vintage washer/dryer set and then do my own DIY stackable setup. I have metal working skills and can fabricate a basic steel framework necessary to stack a...

Thanks for the replies. Yes Laundrette I have seen those models. Was hoping for a more vintage model from the 60s or 70's or maybe early 80s. I see a ton of the first type you linked for sale. Most of them are the slimline models, but some are 27" wide which I suppose is mid load capacity. The...

Stackable in any sense. I do prefer a full capacity set, so I'm guessing the most likely scenario (due to weight) would be two separate units that are modular and stacked on top of each other (especially for older units, which were built heavier). But also integrated units that are not normally...

Hi ya'll. Looking for a vintage stackable washer dryer set. I'm in Eastern Tennessee area, but would travel quite a way for a good unit. Also, might be interested in conventional classic W&D set too. Prefer a full size set so I don't have to do laundry as often. ;-) Thanks! PS>> If you know of...

Sweet machine! I just can't get over how stylish most 1960s appliances are. Congrats on getting a really nice one essentially for free. Are all the parts available to rebuild a dryer of this type/vintage? I'm thinking is setting my sights on a set of similar vintage, but that's the one thing...

Nice looking set. Those GM/Frigidaire 1-18's are really starting to grow on me. That is what those are, correct? If you wanted to pretty much completely rebuild both of those units, would you be able to source all the parts?

Wow! I never thought a washing machine could be "glamorous", but the hell if that picture doesn't prove it so!

Interesting! "Who's Minding the Store" came out in 1963. You can see the price tag for the Whirlpool LKA-992 Washer at $379.95. Using this inflation calculator... https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm You get an equivalent price today of $3,108.79! That's really amazing, I wonder...

Is that Doris Day? If it is, does that mean Doris prefers BDs over DDs?

Love the buttonology on that unit. What more could you need? Ok, maybe a timer? And I also like the chrome badge with the lady's head. Almost reminds me of an ancient Egyptian funerary motif. Appliances back then had true personality, I suppose because they were prized possessions recently made...

Wow. That thing just screams "1972." Love it!

Beautiful set. Too bad so far away and in another country. I love the OBO part. "Um, would you take $10?"

I'm in the process of rebuilding a 1990 Kenmore DD unit with some parts from a 2005 Kenmore DD unit. One difference I see between the two models is that the the newer machine uses these flexible accordian type hoses that connect to the pump. The newer machine also uses this same type of hose for...

I just picked one up very similar to what you have there. Mine is a 110.24722300 and it's a 2005 model. So yours is probably a bit newer than mine, maybe one of the last DD's made if I read correctly. You can enter the model and serial number on this website and date it...

Thank you for the replies everyone! Very informative. I'm just getting started learning about these marvelous machines, it really helps to hear the opinions of aficionados to help sort out who's who in the zoo. So it seems clear that the consensus amongst most enthusiasts, at least in North...

I went ahead and ordered the Maytag Centennial stainless tub. I'll post an update and pics after I start getting everything together. Thanks to all for the help so far!

I know this must have been discussed here ad nauseam and apologize for that. But I'm just getting really drawn in by the looks and apparent performance of many of these classic washers I've been seeing on some of these threads. It seems there are certain washers that appear to be better...

My ceramic white tub is actually in quite good shape overall. But it has the beginnings of little rust specks and a few little chips here are there. And a lot of rust on the inside part of its shaft tube. I actually already sanded most of the rust around these areas off and covered them over...

Thanks Stricklybojack and Wiskybill (great name by the way!). Stricklybojack maybe I'm being dense here, but what I mean is how do I know the p/n's for my Kenmore ceramic steel tub (referenced in my earlier post) really cross over to the other p/n's for the Maytag stainless tub? I see that...
