Price and appliances look good.

Washer model is LXA5540W1. This model has the manual brush lint filter right? I know I've seen ones like it that do, but wanted to know. Nice set. Too bad I am not in the market.

Have a good one,
James

These are beautiful!

Darnit, I don't have the money right now to get them :-(

Hmmm...

Wonder if they spent any recent time under water...

I doubt it. West Hartford is inland, not on the coast. The worst these beauties may have been is in the dark and perhaps cold.

 

[kenmore71]

I agree. And they don't appear to have the tell-tale water-line that most flooded appliances have on them.

OK Once again I have asked for them to send me a couple of Photos with the lid open.

Last few times I ask people think I am crazy and don't send anything.... but yet people complain about the economy.... Here I am an Axtious buyer willing to have the thing shipped down the GA...

Agin we'll see how they respond!

Actually these are 1972 models, but do have every ounce of the 60s charms, and were no different.

I just found this ad on CL and did a product search and found this forum...again....(I picked up a 1967?KitchenAid/Hobart dishwasher the other day thanks to this forum) so I figured it was time that I sign up.

I'm considering these, even though what I have work well...but, what can I say? I love me some vintage.

Is there anything in particular that I should look at when checking them out? Anybody know anything about the washer 'unbalancing' without a full load? My 6 year old machine does that now and drives me nuts.

Any information you can give would be very helpful.

Thanks.

Would love to see you post pics of the dishwasher in a thread too!!

Well I my self have been trying to buy these two but I am having a difficult time having the guy work with an out of town guy... I told him I would give full price for just the washer..

 

[yogitunes]

is it possible for a member close by/local to get it and hold them, and then have a shipping company pick it up from there?

 

[bajaespuma]

Obstructionists

Some people can't wrap their little minds around the idea of people like us who collect appliances. When dealing with these folks I try to communicate to them the idea, "as long as you get money for these items what do you care where they go?" as politely as humanly possible. Still I've dealt with **holes who refused to sell to me because they interpret the Craigslist manifest as excluding all but local buyers. The world would be a much easier place without people.

 

[1966_mustang]

Yogitunes,

I wish I knew of someone willing to help me do this... I would give a little extra if I knew of someone who would..

bajaespuma,

You are SOOOOOooo right! And people want to blame the poor economy on the Government, when if they wouild do TEIR part and not be lazy. My money is a green is the next! I evevn show them THIS websight and tell them this is a club that collects Vintage machines like this. Still no help..

We will see where this goes..

 

[1966_mustang]

Who wants to work a deal out with me on these???

I am trying to buy them.... Really I would want the washer and not the dryer.... I can pay for both if someone up there in Conneticut wants the dryer?

Ken, you & I do not agree on a whole lot, but I am with you 100% on this one.  I'd like to pop the person that came up with "I'm a people person."  They obviously hadn't dealt with a lot of the general public!!!

 

[kenmoreguy89]

Wish I could help.....

All i can do is pull the  thread up, hope someone will come soon...

Good Luck!
