You know...
The people in this club are just so wonderful. I never thought I would see these machines again, but we all share the same passion.
A little update... jim's Mobile Maid has just had a Compound , Wax and Detail as well as the KD2-P. Shining like the top of the Chrysler Building. '56 Mobile Maid is waiting for a new seal on the pump/impeller. KDS-18...Sweet, and Kenwhirl is getting adjusted.We'll have a Family Potrait as soon as everyone is ready.
Thanks for all your help, advice, and being great. Eddie

Congratulations!!
Isn't Aworg the greatest place on Earth for washer people? Does the WP have the famous Suds Miser? Just curious. The Magic Mix and the tub light are great trades for an SM.

Thats my favorite 1-18 console
it has the blue keyed energy saver settings and the cute little jetcone agitator directly marked for washing levels!
Great machines, enjoy!!

WOW
Those are some good-lookin machines there! As exciting as a 1-18 is, I must say that Whirlpool might have been my first choice to hook up and use. They are both beautiful! Congrats!

Congrats on getting both machines, especially that Whirlpool. I'm glad it went to a good home.
Good Luck,

My nephew loved the WP too!
Congratulations Eddie!! Love them both!
I have to admit, I like the 61 Whirlpool the best too. The machine you now own was my first real worthwhile classic washer.That baby is another one that has some "road miles" on it. The machine came from South Carolina, to Indiana, then moved to Mass. in 2004. Hope you have as much fun with it as we did.

on those wonderful looking machines! You'll love the way that 1-18 cleans your laundry and the huge amounts it can hold.

Love the photo of your nephew. Another autowasherguy in training. I would do that when I was a child hoping no one would catch me and put me away.
Going to test the new Toys today.

Just how much does it hold?
I have always been fascinated by those Jet cone machines. A neighbor across the street back in Valley STream had one and it made some incredible noise. I had no idea if that was normal or not and never asked him about it except once.
But my question is, How much laundry does it hold? Would it compete with today's normal top loaders? Asking only in case I should find one.. Have to be able to pitch the argument to the better half! She already is stymied by the extra dishwashers we have in the garage!

Love your Whirlpool!
We grew up with the matching gas dryer. I never knew that the panel lit up! Great machines. Have fun.

Re: Just how much does it hold?
It can effectively clean a full/queen comforter however, there won't be much rollerover action. For clothing mine handles a large hamper full with room to spare. It rips through it's cycles quickly and effectively. It's probably one of the best rinsing/filtering machines around (In my opinion)
They aren't noted for being quiet but there are some steps that can be taken to make them more quiet. If anyone cares to know how just email me.

The machine came from South Carolina...
there's hope (for me) yet to find a similar vintage

Where did the 61 Whirlpool come from??
Lancaster, South Carolina.
Although the ebay seller called it "Red Rose" S.Carolina.
The machine had sat in a shed for a number of years.It had belonged to the sellers grandmother. I had to replace all the water seals and hoses, as they had dry rotted.
Good luck to finding a vintage WP. Check the sheds out there. <:
