The seller claims 1966, but in '66 Kelvinator was still making orbital washers. This set is from the early 1970's...

Just wondering. Why is the lingerie setting well past the wash period? Is this just for rinsing dainties? I would think most lingerie could use some kind of a wash.
 
Connecticut?

Robert, where are these located? Connecticut? I'm just verifying if I read your original post correctly. If so, too bad because I'm really wanting a vintage set to replace the new "junk" that's in my utility room.... The automatic temperature control and one motor speed in my washer sucks to say the least....
 
Reminds me of myself - Some things look to nice to use - So, why not save them for future collectors to enjoy, I know the feeling
 
Had they kept the porcelain tubs and that type agitator,I think that the Frigidaire top loaders would have made a better review.I remember those as well as the old Hamiltons that were similar but had the glass see through doors
 
How sad.

Ordinary people want brand new, current high-efficiency models that are under warranty and save energy. Most of us collectors look for what is unique and uncommon. WCI did a super job of ruining two great designs and manufacturers. The lack of an oscillating agitator really puts this set to a disadvantage. And that, unfortunately, could lead to their demise. If I had the funds and the space, I would certainly put forth my best effort in trying to save them. I wish the seller the best of luck in finding them a good home.
