Free -- On death row

[runematic]

Here are two pieces that came in yesterday. The lady bought a used Maytag dep care set. I do not know anything about them. I don't know if they work or not. These are free and need to be picked up ASAP as the junk man cometh shortly.

that's an odd looking dryer. I wonder who made the washer?

 

[kenmoreguy64]

It's a GE built washer. The dryer is from the "match all" family that Sears offered in the late 60s/early 70s. For a time they were called "All American" dryers. There was at least four or five various models with that squat panel, but no washers to go with, not that I know of anyway.

What a mean looking agitator, looks like it would rip your clothes to shreds

Dryer is very similar, if not the exact match, to the one purchased by my grandmother in 1971 -- of course, I picked it out -- when she finally made the switch from clothesline to dryer. It was placed next to her 1963 Kenmore washer (my dream machine) in the kitchen of her new house. She passed away shortly thereafter and the house was sold with both the washer and dryer.

The washer is similar in features to the Hotpoint washer. It has a self cleaning filter and the 'agitator within an agitator' design. Unlock the main agitator by moving the lock slide on the top and it lifts off exposing a 2nd agitator with very small vanes for delicate wash...

This looks like early to mid-70's. JCP and Hotpoint kept the side-opening lid for a while, then went to the rear-hinged lid.

I never thought that agitator was too special - it was rather rough and seemed to keep things from moving. Shortly after this, later 70's, they used a four-vane version that worked better but was too splashy - it made a needless mess of the lid and opening but they were fun to watch.

so the agitator doesn't miss the cap & no one wanted the set?

Darn....Death Row!
Cool machines!
I had the Kenmore dryer when I was in college. It was a "Match All" dryer that I bought at a sale for about $15 bucks. I think my matching washer was a Hotpoint, but I don't remember what year.
The dryer was a very good electric dryer. When I sold it years later, I think I sold it for $45 buck! Dang! Free Enterprise back in the day!

We had a similar washer made by Hotpoint, when I was a kid.
It was the noisiest washer we've had in my family. Splish & splash noises, the loud clunk at the end of the spinning cycle. My mother was happy we had all Harvest Gold appliances all at once, when she bought that. But boy did I miss the Inglis Liberator washer, that left the house the day before.
She changed it after 15 years, for a nice Kenmore machine.

I have seen dryers very similar to that in homes of friends and relatives. The difference in the consoles on their dryers were that they were more upright. Those Match Alls were very popular.

Have a good one,

Poor guy must not have an anti-junkman yard to placeth thou machines.

 

[runematic]

Cleanteam, if you're serious, I have no problem with that. XYZ, huh? I have around 1000 machines in my warehouse. It's full, really friggin' full. I simply can't keep non-moneymaking machines around. What's an anti-junkman yard anyhow? The local store that sells the old junk just went bellyup. His machines were old and prices were higher thatn my newer stuff.

Run, an anti-junkman yard is a place for old parts machines to be storeth. I had no idea that thou had so many machines in storeth. All kiddin' aside, I know what you mean by the local store going bellyup. He probably desreved to. Not to be harsh but I sell my newer stuff wayyyy below what my local junkstore sells his for. I have him pretty much figured out but it will kill him in the long run. He wants $100.oo for an older model Kenmore washer that myself, would ask about $60.00 on. I turn them over almost daily where he will turn maybe 2 per week because of his inability to research and know what the current local price is for such. Greed kills. so does stupidity.
