Wow, this is a fabulous find you guys, that '58 Kelvinator is super cool, as well as the GE and the other machines. Looking forward to seeing some action shots!

Beautiful washer - one of my favorite POD's. Congrats on the great finds, it's always more fun to "need" a trailer for appliance hunting!

THANKS!!!

Gansky! Thanks for the ad. Seems like there's a lot to do with that baby to get her looking like that! Mark

Thanks Greg, for posting that ad. It will take plenty of cosmetic work and before too long we should have a really nice vintage Kelvy looking almost as pretty as the one in the ad.

Interesting looking little cap on top of the agitator. The cap is currently missing-----I did not see anything like that lying around the machine where I found it. At least the little lint filter survived!

Wow! What a haul! Can't wait to see some pics of the controls and interiors of the other machines. The Whirlpools with the red agitators are rare indeed.

I've never seen a Kelvinator with a lint filter before! Does it work like a burp-u-lator? I didn't notice a GE-style water feed to it. And since it's a solid tub machine, the suds saver water must return through a hole at the bottom of the tub under the agitator, maybe? Very cool machine! Congrats for all the 'fish' you caught----we won't turn you in for exceeding the limit!

Gansky--thanks for posting the pic of the '58 Kelvinators. I hadn't seen them before.

nice catch

Great finds there guys! Looks like they were rescued just in time. I would love to see some detailed photos of those machines,as is.

Thanks,
Rick

I think the filter for that Kelvy is more like a "Splash-a-Lator" than anything else. I don't see how it could have been a very effective lint catcher---certainly not as effective at catching lint as all those little holes in the agitator!

to lightedcontrols, Lint filters

I would like to find a filter off of a Kelvinator, for my lint filter collection. If you ever found an extra one, I would like to buy it. I wonder where you found the Kelvinator? I havn't seen anything that old, in Utah, for a very long time. Sincerely, Kevin SpeedQueen, GE enthusiest.
