Wow..

.
may be one of the best things i have ever saw on AW shoppers. If it was orange withe the fake wood, well then i would be certain it was the best thing.

If this set would be close to me, I'd buy them! I have a similar Inglis set with woodgrain panels in Harvest gold but the Canadian machines lack a few features of the US machines and I'd rather have Avocado!

If those were closer I'd buy them, even if they were pink. Yes, I know pink was already history by then...pink with wood grain?

I do believe Kevin has a pair identical to these - color and everything.

Hmmm...

Why do I feel like I have seen that EXACT picture before?
Anyone else having deja~view?

Malcolm you are right! The KDS 16 in the back reminds me something!

It looks like it's Kevin's set...

OMG

we've been hoodwinked....bamboozled.....

sometimes..

.
people don't have, or know how to use a digital camera, so they just snag a pic from a quick google search. This could be such a time.

This has always been a dreamy set of mine - I emailed the seller. I asked for a pic of the actual set for sale. We'll see...

 

[philr]

That makes sense. I once saw my own Frigidaire dryer for sale, I contacted the seller and she admitted the picture wasn't of her dryer but it was similar...

 

I also saw a Norge dryer advertised as a Frigidaire and it happened to be a 1962 Frigidaire. The owner probably searched for a picture of a similar dryer with a pushbutton door opener. That 1962 Frigidaire is now Paul's!

 

Greg, keep us informed of what you find! I hope it will be a set just like it with woodgrain panels!

Probably the same lonely loser who posted another vintage set in Milwaukee some time ago using another members pics but never answered emails.

Greg,

Any response from the seller yet?

 

[gansky1]

No response - just crickets so far...

Seller

I also sent the seller an E-mail a couple days ago, said the pictures are similar to a set of machines that someone already has. I've not heard anything back either. I have a harvest gold WP LDA-9800 and LDA-9801 that I once saw posted for sale on Milwaukee Craigslist. I E-mailed the seller asking him how he can have the machines, as they were in my basement. the add was taken down shortly after....
