RIP Mary....Happy Hotpoint.. http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNTGjVNhV7w

Here's a video of my 1967 Custom Imperial running.... doesn't sound much different than yours, maybe a little joint clatter.... http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcMFGzTBkxM

NEVER!!!!!! Lubricate a Rollermatic mechanism!!!! Keep any lubricants away from the rollers or any surface they contact!! If it's going off balance, make sure the load is distributed evenly (in quadrants) in the tub.

Hi Peter! Yes, I included a picture of the console with the same picture of the model/serial tag (it's photo 2 of 2). I was wondering if by the serial number we could determine the date of manufacture. It is an electric dryer that we use at our church summer camp. thanks! Dave

This wasn't part of the "Lady Executive" line was it? I couldn't believe how quiet it ran and how quickly it dried. I wish the matching washer was with it, it's paired up with a newer Speed Queen washer.

At our church's summer camp, we have this dryer that works amazingly well for its age. What can you tell me about it? I have attached a picture of the console as well as the model and serial number plate.

Yup, it's a 1963 Kenmore Visimatic. My YiaYia had one (Greek for Grandmother). it had what appeared to be a pregnant RotoSwirl agitator and a lid mounted brush-style lint filter.

1967 Custom Imperial Washer Model: WCIL (turquoise blue) Serial: 30VD 8466 Any idea as to date of manufacture? Dave

Sweet, I knew it wasn't a Flair, but didn't realize Tappan made a copy. Yes, that is Davy Jones :-)

Can anyone venture a guess as to what make oven this is?

Next time I'm there I'll have to get the model number off of the machine. Thank you so much for the research though :-)

Can someone tell me a bit about it and perhaps an age? It looks like it could be a Silhouette, but it doesn't say anywhere on the panel. It's incredibly quiet, and dries fast!

are you sure it's '62? That DW looks more like '66 IIRC.....

Right out of the Dick Van Dyke Show My parent's house was built in 1961, and the kitchen appliances were Caloric. We had the exact wall oven and gas cooktop that was on the Dick Van Dyke show. They also had a 1959 GE fridge with the swing-out shelves the lower freezer (from their previous...

Just a guess.... What is the AC frequency in Australia? 50Hz or 60Hz? Do you think that would make a difference? Is there any listing of frequency on the motor, timer or the washer itself?? Dave.

Joelippard... I don't think that link is accurate...it is saying that it could have been manufactured between 1973 and 1983. Way off! However Frigidaire made a WCIL model in the 1-18 format back then too. Wigwag, if I'm not mistaken this was the only year for this control panel. The '65...

the other nite my wife put it through it's paces. Comforters, jeans, etc. It spun dried the clothes drier than the Calypso ever did! Yeah, Appnut... I can understand how, with age, those buttons can become brittle and fail, care is always used with that machine. I can only assume that this...

do I need that funky special tool to access it?

So, here's the story...... One of my fellow firefighers said that he had an old washer in his basement that he needed to get rid of. He knew I liked tinkering with mechanical things and asked if I would like it. I asked him what brand it was, but he wasn't sure. I went over with my nephew...

and last, but by no means least.... the lighted control panel....
