[76speedqueen]

Cool didn't notice that it was a suds saver before until

Frog eyed looking guy isn't he...

 

[appnut]

No, it's far from being a frog-eye.

 

[76speedqueen]

Well maybe a toad or something.........

It has some kind of face to it.

I've got the same '53 washer and matching gas dryer (both currently under restoration -- washer needs a new pump, and I'm trying to figure out where the dryer lint filter is; must have been an attachment to the duct or something...)

I love how the seller goes as far a taking and posting a closeup picture of the lid handle but doesn't even bother to open the lid and take a picture of the interior.  For all we know the agitator is gone.

 

Its like trying to sell a car with only exterior pictures and not one picture of the interior.  I see this all the time with machines sent to me in emails and I have yet to figure out the logic behind it.

 

[76speedqueen]

Yeah, I agree....

It was a little dumb and dissapointing for me (because Up til now I had never seen one of these)Not to have them add a pic of the interior.

EARLY WP & KM DRYER LINT FILTER

Todd these dryers did not have lint filters if you vented them to the outside, the lint just went out with the hot air and moisture. There were two different accessory lint filters however, one was just a screen that was held against the exhaust opening that could be used if the dryer was not vented. The other was a box with a screen attached to the top and this also had round knockouts on the sides and back that you could connect and exhaust pipe to it. Some times when I have found these old dryers one of these are still with it.

IF ANYONE is interested..........

.... I am ONLY 5 - 6 miles away and can pick it up and hold if for you until you can arrange shipping! LET ME KNOW!

I just contacted the seller asking if I can come take a look at it... waiting for a response.

Just for sh#ts and giggles.......

Does anyone know what it would cost to have a washer shipped 3000 miles and who would be the best carrier to call to do the job?I probably couldn't afford it on a fixed income but I am curious.

Does anyone know what it would cost to have a washer shipped

As a reference of approx. 1800 miles, I just had an appliance shipped from the west coast to Iowa. I received many quotes on uShip anywhere from 400-1500 dollars.

YouCrate was looking to charge 600 dollars. Expect to spend at minimum 500 dollars to have something shipped across the country - more in the range of 600-1000 dollars.

Cute Kenmore, btw.

Thanks for the estimate,however...

Brian could not dream of spending that much at this time,(I figured it would be alot,) so I guess someone else will be giving this nice old washer a home.My best wishes to whomever is so lucky.....and glad I brought it to your Attention....
