Oh Jeff......RISK IT!!!!
Jeff,
When I moved to Dimondale/Holt with idiot Corey back in 2000, this is the exact set that I had in white. They came in to the store as a "trade" with literally NOTHING wrong with them. I had to replace the belt, the hoses, the lamps on the washer, and a new belt and cord on the dryer, and later still all the lamps got done as well.
I traded these around 2002 ( READ: STUPIDLY) for a set of Maytag 806's that weren't nearly as cool because they had a larger capacity, and yet again idiot talked me out of them, because the dryer started taking a little longer than it did previously to dry.
Jeff, you and Michael should run to get them...I know were not as close as we used to be...but I can promise that you will NEVER regret EVER getting them, as they are IMHO the living end of 1960's Kenmore-Whirlpool ingenuity....
Go man.....

Agitator orig?
I do have one minor thing....to add...
Is that agitator original to the machine? Maybe It's been that long but I remember the agitator being white...???
Wait, never mind... on further thought in the "wayback machine"...the original was a squash orange color, and I changed it to a newer white Surgilator because I thought that it made it wash better. And It gave me two different kinds of agitators to play with...
yeesh I'm only 30....is my memory "that" bad?

Look like 1965's to me. Just need a scrubber cap for that agitator and take care not to break those (by now very brittle) option buttons!. They look to be in great condition and are easy machines to restore anyway. IMO those were the very best dryers ever.
You guys are a little paranoid - trust me you wont be needin' heet to pick up the set. I got you're email and stumbled upon the boards here (obviously). There are some really great vintage machines here and from what I've read a pretty tight community. If you have any questions about the set, please go ahead and post them or reply to the ad and I'll be happy to answer them for you. I wasn't sure of the year - it's interesting to learn a little more about them before I sell them off. The washer is working perfectly - I just used it to do a few loads, however a few months ago the dryer started acting up. The drum spins (I thought it was the belt, so I replaced it and figured out it had nothing to do with the motor) and it lights up - however it doesn't stay lit (it must be the thermostat?).
My family had an extra washer and dryer that they weren't using, so, even though they are nice machines, decided not to have the dryer repaired. They're both in pretty good shape for being so old, and as I'm sure you're aware of - they're solid, quality made machines. I've posted another pic of the washer to give you a better idea of the controls. I figured they would probably be easier to sell as set - and since I have another pair, they should stay together.

i made a mistake of telling an asian lady about this website when i saw a green 1-18 by her garbage.i rang the doorbell and asked if i could push it into her yard until i brought back my friends truck to pick it up,needless to say when i went back she wanted to sell me the broken washer for $200,i told her to go f_ _ k herself.
Honestly... Such paranoia
Just go get these, if someone is close to this location and has a home for them! If you show respect to the people that live around there, they will show you respect in return. If you act afraid of the people there, it will piss them off. And rightly so.
I would go for these myself, but I own them in the 800 Series. I bought these for $10.00 at a church sale and spent close to $1000.00 on the restorations in 2003.
The Lady K's will make someone a nice set.

How do you make them sparkle like that Rick? lol
I was kidding earlier - hopefully it wasn't an issue for anyone involved.

Nice set of 65 Lady Ks. It looks like the scrubber on the Rotoflex agitator was replaced with a standard black cap. They look to be in perfect condition. Whoever had them, took care of them.
Have a good one,
James
