Vari-Flex Agitator and LK set in harvest gold
Kevin, I am a new member but I've been visiting the AW site for several months now. A good friend told me about it. Anyway, thank you so much for posting the video and thanks to bajaspuma for the pic of the LK washer and dryer pair in harvest gold. My mom, dad, and I went to Sears in Greenville, SC where they purchased a 1971 LK washer as shown above in white. I begged my Mama to get the harvest gold and she almost did but backed down. I was 16 and almost excited over the LK as I was my first car. Sick, huh? About six months later we went back to Sears and bought the matching dryer. Mama still wouldn't go for harvest gold but did opt for avacoda. You have one just like Mama's old one in your collection. I loved those machines and did thousands of loads of laundry in them over the years. I replaced them in 1998 with a new set of white LKs which were replaced in 2008 with BOSCH Nexxt premium front loading washer and matching dryer. I've always been fascinated with washers and doing laundry. My wife thinks I'm a nut job but doesn't mind that I do the laundry! Anyway, sorry for babbling but thank you both for bringing back many happy memories of Mama's old LKs. I would still love to have a matching set in harvest gold. Just don't have the room. Jim

) My friend who turned me onto this site also loves washers. We have often laughed and wondered if anyone else had a washer obsession like we did? So good to know there are others like me and my friend! Do you know if anyone here on the east coast ever has wash-in parties like yours? Jim
