Really nice looking set! Love the regal looking gold treatment on the fronts.You just gab on the phone and they do all the work! Anyone know the year of this attractive set?

STILL waiting (depite the name of this site/forum/club)

Love glass panels ("windows") on the doors!!!

Hey Rick, I agree with you, boy those are a wonderful ABC set. My estimate is that these are from the mid-50's era, probably about 1955. BTW, do you have any ABC's or Kelvinators? I just love the set that I have.......

1953!

Jon Charles has the washer. Here's the link to a picture of it. I'm not sure if he has the matching dryer or not.

Luigi, I think the POD is a more DeLuxe mode than what Jon has, but I could be wrong. Today's POD is probably one of the most stetely and regal looking set I've ever see.

ABC/Kelvinator washers

Hi Jimmy,I am sorry to say that I do not have one of these machines. They look like they would be fun to see in action. I hope someone will bring one of these to the convention.
BTW are you going?

Hi Rick, If you dont have a Kelvinator yet, then you are first on the list if I find another one! Not sure yet if Im able to make the convention, but it sure sounds like its going to be a lot of fun............I will keep my fingers crossed.......

 

[rickr]

Thank you Jimmy!That sounds great! BTW, I would like to put my order in for the model #81,just like in this pod... LOL!!

I do hope you can make it to the convention. I am sure you will be missed if you cannot make it.

They are a year newer than my set, yes I also have the dryer in storage. Mine is a 1952 last year The Altorfer's owned ABC, those were made during the transition year 1953.
I love that chrome dip in front thats the only difference.
