All about lighted console.....

[kenmoreguy89]

Awesome! Please keep them coming! I am enjoying all them alot! Thanks!
Kevin, I would kill to find something with a lighted console or service lights over here, I have a thing for appliances with "commodity lights" in consoles, tubs, drums etc(is "commodity/service light" the right term?). I think they are great features, I really enjoy their usefulness alot, they're also so charming....so....can't find a proper word...but hope you know what I mean..
All I have with a service light is my beloved mixmaster....and the Proctor silex percolator that I only use in special occasions with guests etc...otherwise it stays safe in the cupboard.
I am going to put a few pics featuring the mixmaster power plus kneading hot dog buns dough, which is the only appliance along with the percolator with commodity lights I own (not the daily driver avocado Silex Made Montgomery wards in this pic) I actually am very ashamed to post it...please don't judge... this is all what I have to share which is near to the subject

Not sure if these are AW.org Member's videos.....I think so..but don't know...
But these are great lighting jobs in here:
I so love this M.W/Norge Touch N' wash blue lighted console....amazing....


Not to mention these Whirlpools.....even my sister which is not interested in appliances at all would kill to have a pair:

Thanks

Very nice photos with LIGHT.  Ultramatic, beautiful stove. I always liked the styling of vintage Caloric.

Westy Dryer Lights!

Now if I could get it to work!

Here's some pictures of the lighted-panel washers and dryers in the collection.  I am proud to say that I have a few Canadian-made machines among them!!

 

I have GOT to get some of the 'orphans' out of the shop or out of storage...

Ah ha!  I spy a 1957 pair of GE's in those photos....

 

However, the pair of 1963's is just The Cat's Meow IMHO.

Well-spotted Lawrence!!  That 57 GE set is supposed to be the 'next' to be worked on but I've got a couple of other projects on the go (but it will be worth it and I will share about that here!!)

Anyone got a photo of a 62 Frigidaire Custom Imperial Washer? Those had great lighted consoles.

I love lighted consoles on appliances. They make machines look so much classier.

What a fantastic thread. Congrats to all who posted. Very nice to view.

These two take my breath away....

And this is the St. Paul beauty.

I love that Caloric. Who needs other kitchen lights with that? And Ben! This is coming from the Maytagman but those Frigidaires are just something else. Beautiful!

And Maytag!

Added the light up console to the DG108!

Now those with incandescent lighting.

 

I had to include a picture of my favorite fridge and of my newly acquired Miami Carey range hood. I always liked these hoods with glass panels on the front! I have searched for a while to get one and finally got one when I got a second Maytag A806 in a house that was about to be demolished! I still wish I'd find one that's a bit older than this one but that's OK for now!

Really neat lights-the console flourescent bulbs on mine burned out-no bulbs like those to be found in Greenville!
Like the Purple light on the WP machine-at least appears purple on the computer screen I am using.The water depth is great-nice water circulation there-works so much BETTER when the tops of the agitator blades are covered.I question the UV germicidal bulbs in those machines----SW UV light won't penetrate water!Hope washer spectators don't get sunburned faces or scratchy eyes!The SW light can reflect off the water!Wear something over your eyes!SW UV light-germicidal range-can damage your eyes!
Does that Wards washer use a double filter system?The cascading water going into the filter dish via that blue trough like part and then into the agitator lint filter dish.NICE!!And that washers light appears blue on my computer screen.

A few more......

 

 

Here are a few more photos of machines I once had in my possession.

 

The turquoise Maytag pair is near Reno, NV in the hands of a wonderful Maytag Repairman.

 

The last photo is a friends laundry room with 3 1960's GE sets and a '66 Lady K set.

 

[revvinkevin]

Even more......

 

 

Photos I've taken while visiting various other collections.

Thank you Kevin for posting the photo of those 62' Frigidaires. I always thought those were the best looking washer & dryers. That's the set I grew up with!

 

[d-jones]

Wow Kevin!

You could have had a career as an appliance photographer. LOL. Nice work!

 

[philr]

The Frigidaire set is from 1963. (I think they belong to Patrick).
