A Lady emerges from The Pile

[redcarpetdrew]

The Pile's been kinda quiet as of late so I was happy to find this little jewel. Meet the 1986 Lady Kenmore.

We are full featured. Could there be any more bells and whistles?

Console closeup left... The console is in fantastic shape!

 

[redcarpetdrew]

And the right side. There is the only real blemish on the console. A dent above the Lady Kenmore label, most likely from a careless drop of a laundry item. I pushed the dent out so it wouldn't look so horrible...

 

[redcarpetdrew]

Say AHHHHH!

Open for business...

The lid. There is a small area where the inside coating of the lid is coming off. Gordon said it was due to the coating that was used on the lid. He'll surely explain this later. The combination of features on this machine has him marveling. More on THAT later as well...

Thanks Andy. the LAST of the belt drive Ladys.

Add your additives here...

There was a fair amount of nastiness in here. I cleaned it up for the picture shoot.

Damn you, LOL. You find all the good stuff. Everytime I look for something here it's always DD machines.

 

[redcarpetdrew]

Waaait... For... It...

Of course, there's video in a little bit for you, Bob!

The Money Shot...

 

[redcarpetdrew]

More shot for the money...

 

[autowasherfreak]

Will ya hurry up with the video, LOL!

 

[redcarpetdrew]

The Lady has her top lifted... LOL! There really wasn't that much mess to clean here. The dispenser was the big cleaning job. Here we are in mid fill.

LOL, Drew do not select all the options P,W,2nd. rinse. The Vegas water police will make you do hard time. Mom's pentavane from the 70's lasted so long we totally missed this nice series. Looks like a very well kept Lady. arthur

Beautiful!
And this was thrown away?
What was wrong with it? If anything.
I can't get over how clean it is! The control panel is mint!
Thanks for the pictures.

The dispenser.

This machine runs very quietly. Good wash action and a quiet spin. I think the bearings on this one are good! Our friend in Charlotte will be happy to (not) hear that!

Ok. ok. ok! Video!

NOW, The reward for waiting (semi)patiently...

I'm trying a new camera out on this shoot. An Olympus Stylus. The above the water video settings still need a little tweeking.

Wait! Did he say "above the water"?!?!?

Yup! This model is waterproof up to around 20 feet.

Sssoooo, that's a Maytagman to do? Well, SHOOT UNDERWATER!

Here's the calm before the storm!

 

[redcarpetdrew]

Time to unleash the Lady!

Serious agitation!
