Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

LOL

 

50s and 60s appliances spread out as far as the eye can see. hmmm "one of our people ?"

 

It would be cool if it were someone innocent who was just cleaning their basement or their parents basement, wouldn't it. 

Back in the 70s or 80s you could find a scene like that. 

Now?  Not so much.

That’s funny that you posted these. I just saw them on EBay a few days ago. At the time there were two other panels. One from a Hamilton dryer and I don’t remember the other. I gathered it was some sort of resale shop that was dismantling old appliances to sell parts but I could be wrong.
 
That console is sweet! Minus the $100+ shipping. Early 60's LK? Would be all over one like that for my '65 LK washer and it's two missing buttons! Haha.
 
 
They're not buttons ... just an alphabet legend for setting the timer, which isn't labeled with minutes or cycle details.

Yeah, you couldn't walk into laundry with the thoughts of "I want to do a large load of normal agitation on warm with fast spin and extra rinse" and just select the settings for that like any other washer or  dryer.

 

You would have had to know what all the buttons activated and then do some guess work and hope for the best.......  annoying.

 

But those 60s pastels were awesome.   The panel makes for a nice display piece, imo.  Put a nice but dim LED light(s) in the console and it would be awesome.  I hope those buttons light up too.
