A few night time Maytag pix (and a Lady K too!)

[revvinkevin]

I suppose I could say I was bored.... but I wasn't.

I could say I was feeling creative, partially yes as some could be considered "art like". But it's more that I seem to have "a few" machines that light up, so I wanted to share!

So, OK here we go! Starting it all off is an 806 top I picked up recently.

Next, the 1975 806 in the foreground and in back (L to R) the DE808, the DE701 and the A700.

Continuing on.... just the three in the back now as it's gotten darker....

 

[revvinkevin]

... and a slight reconfiguration of the 2nd photo...

and finally....

The 1980 806 next to the avocado 1974 Lady K.

Martin, yes I believe nearly every manufacturers, at one time offered machines with a backlit console or some sort of console light at one point.

QSD Dan: Was Maytag the last manufacturer of offer a machine with a backlit console, like my 1980 - 806? I can't remember any others which had lights that late.

Here is another shot some of you may have seen before (one of my favorites)....

This is my friend Mikes set up. He has three GE sets (all from the 60's) and the '67 Lady K set on the right.

Martin: If you look through the "Photos of Collections" on the main page you will see numerous machines with backlit consoles.

Lights.

My early 1980s Lady Kenmore Electronics are lit from the top of the console. Kenmore continued to offer lighted controls on their TOL models well into the 1990s.

Lighted machines just look so classsey,

I don't guess the LCD backlights on the GE Harmony count, do they? They do light up a dark room moderately well, actually...

Steven, no the 806 has already been sold... it's just sitting here awaiting shipment, sorry!

Bill, not only is there a couch in that laundry room, there is a 40 (something) or 50" flat panel TV, a juke box and a Frigidaire Flair range, complete with the lift up glass oven doors!
