Help Support :

What a fantastic set!! Great find, Greg when are you starting to add on to the house? Great score on the detergent as well. OH MY I can almost smell the Dash from here!!!
 
Sing it girls..Whrlpool won't make a mess of your Perman

I'm just green with envy, dear. :-)

MAZEL TOV.

Enjoy your new toys in good health, wealth and plenty of happiness.

...And just think; when one is feeling down, blue, nostalgic or otherwise decadent there is always that water-hog Permanent Press cycle to play with.
 
Wow what an awesome set! Congrats! I haven't seen a lot of Whirlpools with an infinite water level. Seems like Kenmore put them in more models than WP did. I'm looking forward to hearing what sort of mechanical shape these beauties are in.

Incidentally, I have a similar (but slightly lower in the food chain I think) washer (no dryer to go with) that I got from Wisconsin for a site member in Raleigh. It was bought through ebay this summer. It is of the same generation and also Avocado. The intended owner has not been able to get the washer picked-up, so if anyone here is interested, please let me know. I had not intended to keep it and would be glad to see an enthusiast give it a good home. Right now it's hamming it up in storage with my Kenmores and the few WPs I have.

Congrats again on the find Gansky! Oh, btw - I loved the Oxydol and Fab back in the day. It would be cool if there is still some scent left in that stuff.

YAY!!! It looks very much like my Whirly Imperial! I must say though, I MUCH MUCH MUCH prefer the speckled tub in your machine over the boring-ass white tub in mine!!!

Oh ya, and O...M...F...G on those detergent finds!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
 
You're lucky

That baby is NOT the water hog, only one cool-down on the combo perma/knits cycle. The double cool-down is such overkill anyhoo. Never use it. Had no idea there was such interest in this incarnation of the WP. I'll have to take some pix of its harvest gold twin. You'll know which is older/younger. I is too dumbe.

See you scored a box of hen's teeth. How much for a cup;'D;'D;'D
 
What a great find!
The WP set look to be in great shape!
I can't get over your detergent finds! Awesome!

Awwwws!!!

That is the exact set my grandmother had except in white!!!! I think its the same year as that lovely Avacado Kenmore I got from Tucson which is an exact match (color and all) to the machine my aunt had!!

Thanks for grabbing these Greg! I honestly never thought I'd ever see them again! People must have liked those older whirlpools in Omaha, remember your neighbor had that yellow set that you kept the tops for all those years?

Well I don't know what you are planning to do with that pair or if they are already "taken" but if not I'm most definetely interested, cleaned, uncleaned, working nor working extra profit, whatever!

Thank you so much for showing those pictures!! It seems the folks at applianceville always come through, when I happened to logon one time and found that 55 frigidaire that I got from Oregon, same thing happened on the green kenmores when i found out were up for trade, and now these!

Just an update (since I'm not a frequent visitor) Stef and I got married and we have our baby due in a few days so its a busy time for us. I can't tell you how rewarding it is to have found someone ya love who understands you and your hobbies (and doesn't mind the old washing machines) and to bring a bundle of joy into this world with is just plain amazing. You guys have always been there for me since the yahoo club days and I never said how much I appreciated the love and care you bestowed on me in my time of need.

Thanks again for sharing the pics! I'm going to save them locally so I can stare at them over and over!!

Don't mind me; I'm just avocado with envy, that'

Fifty-freakin'-eight mother-lovin' inches of freakin' metal and porcelain just to wash and dry 8 stinkin' pounds of laundry. In more than fifty freakin' gallons of potable water with a cup of Clorox, a cup and a quarter of Tide and one, maybe two capfuls of NuSoft!

God I miss the Sixties!
 
Great find!!

Very cool old WP Greg! Nice to still be able to find a "set" with the original partner from the early 1970's.

That Surgilator will kick up all kinds of suds with that vintage detergent in it. Put at box two in there with a big ass load of towels, and see if you *might* be able to get it to suds lock... lol!!
 
Model Question

About the same vintage we had a Mark Series in Harvest. It did not have the woodgrain front panels or the versatile door at home. We also had a Supreme 70 series at the beach in avocado. It had the same cycle sequence, but had a know for water temp. Was that the only difference between the supreme 70 and 80?
