Allen, my pleasure.
David, thank you very much!
Phil, yes both the Frigidaire set and the Whirlpool set after it are Patricks (pdub) in Oregon. All of those after that are at Robert & Fred's in Minneapolis.
Freddy, a mixer with a light for the work bowl, how cool is that! I've never seen one of those.

Here are my lighted appliances...
Well, at least what I had photos of handy. The first is our '63 Frigidaire Deluxe. The white dryer is our '63 Maytag DE700, which was swapped out a year later for the '62 PDE701. At some point, I need to get pictures of the matching PA700.

I'll post mine.
1963 Lady Kenmore set.

More, more and MORE photos....
These machines I saw while at Don's (Jetaction) place over Memorial Day weekend, all very neat indeed!
We did do laundry in each of the washers, and ALL are suds savers BTW! I would have liked to watch the Speed Queen do a suds return, but it wasn't possible in the time I was there. The dark, narrow oven door on the GE range while hard to see, is stainless.

TOL or near TOL Whirlpool washer/dryer
Hi Dave,
I didn't see that POD you are referring to, but if you go back to the first batch of photos I posted, photo 15 is a TOL 1976 WP Mark 18 pair. Also in the 2nd batch of photos, pic #4 is a TOL 1968 WP Mark 12 pair.
Are those anything like what you are referring to?

Oops, so sorry!!!! I stand very corrected, my very bad!!!!! There's that Mark XII that I was referring to....!
The POD of which I'd forgot what day it was on, was a 1967 Whirlpool washer & dryer catalog w/ those very two machines in Avocado Green sans the wood-grain...

my 2 Lavamats
Some 1964 Lavamat Regina and some model of the successor line from 1969 Lavamat Nova L.
Doors ajar, timers off. That is why the timer lamps are not on and aglow.
Model on the left has an indicator disc type timer with rapid advance setting(position 14 on the selector knob, all others are preset programmes, options included).
Model on the right has a regular knob timer for the cycles and a separate thermostat from cold to boiling, option buttons above = spring loaded "cancel" upon pressing "off".
Two 25 watts incandescent bulbs behind each panel on both sides.
The light comes down towards the doors of the "self-contained and freely swinging machine unit" (read: tub/drum + motor + pump + filter).
All else (casing, electrics, valves and soap box) is mounted in the outer shell.

I have more machines (Kenmores) with lighted consoles but am still setting up the new laundry room in the new house. Hope to have everything up and running later this Fall.

Wow.
There's not a machine pictured on this thread that isn't absolutely gorgeous. And you've all done a spectacular job at restoring/maintaining them! I continue to hope that one day I'll luck out and find a machine like one of those. I could admire them for hours.
It's a pity that appliances have become so dull over the years. You would think that what were TOL features back then would be standard features now, and that lighted consoles and tubs would be a simple tweak. There's no character in new appliances like there was back then.
