71 LK Set Home From Bemidji MN

[petek]

Great looking set

and from Bemidji..lol Love that name.. I stopped there last year on my drive home looking for a hotel/motel for the night but the town was jammed with something going on, early August, so it was bye bye Bemidji for me. . Yes I've stopped at every Indian casino from Wisc west..and left lighter than I entered in both directions, but you have to take a break from all that driving. and it is a nice.

Gorgeous! Why can't today's machines be as styled as these?

Don, they couldn't have gone to a better home.

Enjoy!

Darrell-The rinse and bleach dispensers work perfect, I don't think they were ever used.

Thanks to all for the warm wishes. Really some nice options on this machine, lots of flexibility. Now my usual question...
Does anyone have copies of the owner's manuals??? Thanks! Don

Owners Manuals

Hi Don-
Yes, I do have copies for your '71 Lady K
Email me your address and I'll send them to you.
My Lady K set is a '72, so these would work for you better than me. Happy to pass them along to ya!

'72 owner manuals?

Now it's my turn to ask the same question Don just did.
Does anyone have owner manuals I can have for MY '72 Lady K?
For washer and drier Please! I'll pay if needed. Please make sure its for a '72. Not '71 or '73.
Email address is in my profile.

Control Panel Covers

Aren't these the machines that have those pull down covers that are marked Lady Kenmore, (in fancy script)? and if so do the lights stay on when you close the cover and the machine is still operating?

Door Covers

Cory found the dryer control panel last winter, although I don't know if he still has it. The door was really cool, but it is really nice to see what the whole machine looks like!

Don, that is a 'too-cool' set! It seems there are many treasures lurking in Northern MN. I'm am beginning to enjoy the looks of these machines! Thanks!

 

[retromom]

They don't make 'em like that anymore!

Don:

What a beautiful set! It's nice to see that someone used some imagination with all those great colours! Wish that was still true today! Can't believe the bleach dispenser is in such great shape. She must have never even used it (smart lady).

Bemidji is where Tom's mom (Austin's grandma) hails from! We've been talking about going to the North Country for years. A terrific set like yours may be just the incentive we need!

Enjoy them Don, and many happy washings!

Outstanding find, Don! My neighbors had one almost like that when I was growing up. If you get a chance, will you please post pictures of the tub and agitator empty?

Thanks so much Rich, I sent the address and will keep a look out for the 72 books. How did the models differ? Yes Venus, a trip to Northern Mn is a must, it is so beautiful. Make sure you stop by along the way! I will try to snap some of the pics you all asked for. Headed up north again tomorrow after work with a friend of mine to see Vicki Lawerence do her "Mama" show. Remember the vintage appliances on that set? I think this will be fun, and good to be back as we Minnesotan's say "up north."

'71-'72 Lady K

Thank you for keeping a eye out for owners manuals for me. The main differences between our machines are just cosmetic stuff.. like, I have a plastic tub ring, yours is metal, and a little different design on the cycle buttons, etc. Other than that, our machines are the same.
Your manuals are on there way! Enjoy!

Great machines my grandmother had one just like that except it was avacado green.

Don, Thanks for cleaning those up. They look great. I am glad that you were not disappointed. To you others, come up to the northwoods, the leaves are starting to change...
