58 Four Star is back in action!......

[Dick_S.]

.....and running like a top! Silly me, I thought I'd just go out there, plug 'er in and she'd take off. Was I ever wrong!

Anyways, I wrestled with her one day last week and then today we got her into the washroom and hooked her up. She now runs great and ever so quiet. I plan to make and post a video soon.

Also worked on the 76 belt drive big tub dual action agi today and got her back on the road. AND found out what has to be done on the 68 Vari-Flex. Had a very productive day. Would love to go out and wash a load or two, but I'm bushed.

Another club member Merlin from DHS lent a helping hand.

 

[Dick_S.]

And I've got........

....another lighted console! ((--::

 

[Dick_S.]

...and....

..... a lighted tub!

 

[foraloysius]

Oooh! Nice job, well done! Looking forward to the video!

Holy Crap that is one great washing machine! Sexy and worth the wait.

 

[swestoyz]

Oh wow - now that is what a machine machine should look like! I had no idea how good looking the 1958 Kenmores are - unbelievable. Thanks for the shots, it is very much appreciated.

YEAH! WOOHOO!

Congratulations Dick, and a big YAY for weekend fix-ins...this past weekend has been very productive indeed! That 1958 Cycla-Fabric is just stunning. She looks brand new!

Who is standing with the machine in the first picture? I'm assuming a club member? LOL

 

[gansky1]

What a beautiful specimen of sexy Kenmore! Those colors around the dial just make you shiver.

 

[DADoES]

Wowza!

 

[Dick_S.]

That's Brad, a friend of mine and not a club member. He just loves to come up and play with the machines and I let him! He helps me a lot wrestling with heavy things as I am still recuperating from a dislocated pelvis from Jan. 2nd.

And it looks like you also had a very productive weekend my friend. You have a very nice collection Austin.

Dick

 

[Dick_S.]

Oh, and I forgot to mention.....

.....the 58 matching dryer is so happy to finally have a mate! ((--:: He survived by himself for 13 months tho'.

 

[frigilux]

Great '58! Looking forward to video. What year is the other Kenmore in the pic? The next door neighbor had one of those 'alphabet' machines. Is it a '63, maybe?
Any possiblity of a picture of that one?

Glenn-- That's quite an address, bud! How on earth do you fit all that onto your return address labels, LOL?

 

[Dick_S.]

Thanks guys.....

....I also find it a very sexy looking machine and thought the same when I was a kid and my Aunt bought a new 58 LK which is one level above the Four Star, however both models bear an uncanny resemblence to each other. I finally got mine after 49 years.

Great machiene! Love the lighted tub!

 

[Dick_S.]

The other machine in picture...

.....is a 60. In fact it is the same machine Mom bought from Sears in '60 and I've had with me ever since. If it could talk! ((--::

We had the 60 and my Aunt had the 58 LK which I wanted so badly.

 

[exploder3211]

wow~ a true vinatge macheien

 

[appnut]

Dick congratulations. All that dazzling porcelain, LIGHTS, chrome, and Sex appeal!! I can't wait to see the matched set together, that will be a first for me, otehr than LIghted Control's matched LK of the same year.
