Heavens!
What's with all the NIB stuff lately? First the Frigidaire stove, then the Maytag, and now this.
Looks like it's going to be a good Spring!

What I need is a BIG winning lottery ticket.
But then again having met so many of you (plural) IS having won the lottery!
WOW these are SSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO close to me!
If only my house were not up for sale.

Steve I think you can definitely get them for a reasonable offer! Besides, you have to admit, the name "Lady" is enticing...;-)

Hi Steve. Perhaps you could store the set in a garage or basement and hook it up in your new place when you are settled in. Sounds too good to pass up.

Go for it, Togs! You can make up the difference by selling a few rocks of crack or something, LOL.
Did anyone ever contact the seller to see what they actually were?
I got pictures tonight from the seller - apparently he's looking for "best offer" but didn't say if he's had any other interest. 1966 models, washer is a 700 series.
New - there are lots of pics but I'll only post a few. The books, legs, hoses, etc. are all original and still in packages!

Wow, those are beautiful and DEFINITELY worth saving (especially over that overpriced 'Tag). Too bad they're not a step above, the 800 series...we all know someone who would pass out on the spot! Who knows, maybe he's done that already since it's still a NEW late-60's Kenmore, tee hee ;-)
New!
Never used!
Gold Roto-Swirl smell!
Who could pass this up?

We need to saw a hole in the wall by Peteski's neighbors and fix him a new laundry room just for these.
Then he can take that farkuckt LG and shove it up their (LG's) corporate toches!

OMG that was my EXACT childhood washer that I grew up with.
Here is a picture I took in 1976 of it when I was 13 with my brand new 110 Kodak Camera...
This is amazing to see it brand new again, I remember the day it was delivered in January of 1969. Dad got it on sale as a last year closeout at the Sears in New Bruswick, NJ. I can still smell the brand new washer smell, it is something I will never forget.
That little book that is attached to the dial I still have today. I used graphics out of it to make our Suds-Lock Man and Not Logged In Buzzer Man here on the site.

Quick- My Smelling Salts!
That dryer is hard to find- I hope somebody grabs it! For some reason, a lot of LK washer owners cheaped out when it came to the dryer, so matched pairs with the LK dryer are not common in my experience. Oddly, this customer seems to have done it backwards- they purchased the TOL dryer to go with a 700.

OMG!
I bet it still has the new washer smell.
It MIGHT need a new belt and that's all. I bet it will work right out of the box.

This is a beautiful set. And yes I will always remember the fresh smell of a new washer. Their is nothing like it.
And Steve Gyrafoam I wish it was possible to saw a hole in the wall and replace my LG with this or something considered unique like a Bendix but thats only a dream.
Best Wishes

Questions?
I think I'm going to bid on these, and finally get my first vintage set. Does anyone know what would have to be done to get these in order. I am not a handy person at all, could a service person do a once over to make sure they are all ready for use. Does anyone know the widths of these units? Thanks!

Oh, it just figures, they have to be all the way across the damn country!! Pffffft!
Well, I'll have to think quick about it...but I'm still looking for my dryer to go with my 1-18 and I'd rather use the bit of funds I have to have that shipped here...
Thanks for the map! ---- James

STEVE!
I know the house is for sale and you have other priorities but I KNOW YOU WON'T REGRET taking these in - Take one for the team - how cool would it be to get brand new old machines! - the tub shot with the hoses still in it is awesome! - just like u used to see at the store!
I hope you can figure it out!

Oh Robert...
Ain't that Kenmore of yours just a little overloaded?
But then it looks like you held down the water level switch to get a high fill. That kinda doesn't work well with a Roto-swirl, I find. It just makes the clothes float. The PERFECT water level I've found on my Frankenmore is the water should stop filling halfway between the top of the fins and where the the agitator begins to taper off.
It's hard to tell with mine because I do have the large tub, not the standard one that the RS was really made for. Now if I got Helen's Super Duty Surgilator from her old WP, THAT's a different story.

I thought it was just me that had fond memories of the Kenmore smell. I remembered my parents new Kenmore with a Gold Roto-swirl...such a wonderful fragent...didn't last too long after serveral loads of laundry...GREAT MACHINES!
So was it the gold colored Roto-swirl agitator that caused that fragrant? or a combination of new hoses, paint, etc....

Wow Robert, that is too neat, and a great picture. Is it just me or does it look like your old '69 Kenmore could have used a lid check adjustment as well? ;-)
Our childhood machines definitely have a special place. You should go for it! Just think, you could relive the memories all over again, complete with new washer smell...

Jason, I found that to be the same when I had it as well...the water level just above the ramps resulted in excellent dip-roll action. I tried the Super Roto-Swirl in my 24" and the action was better with the maximum water level due to the standard-capacity tub. But if not overloaded (and not containing bulky items like jeans), it's a very capable agitator in the large-capacity tub. Although as Roto-Swirls go, I think the earlier pregnant one does a better job overall.
I agree about the Double-Duty Super Surgilator...that thing can make clothes MOVE no matter what the load consists of. With the small tub on the 24" the action is amazing; I've overloaded it slightly and it still turns over well. The earlier bakelite Surgilator wasn't a bad agitator either. I'm curious to try the 70's Surgilator (non-winged) with the fins protruding slightly from the base.
