Jon, you don't have any almond in your collection, go get it!!

hmm...

if you are talking about me...I sure don't and I think I wouldn't mind having this machine! I could at least fit this one in my condo and we have a vehicle large enough to pick it up with.

 

[bpetersxx]

yes Lk portables fit nicely in any collection

Sorry, Jon, I was talking about Jetcone in Melrose, Mass. - I was kidding really as he's going to give me a good slap for even suggesting anything that isn't Bendix!

I've never played with one of these before but have enjoyed the videos of a one or two that belong to members here.

Good luck!

Parts are still available from Sears Parts. Know this because called for a few things for my dryer which is from the same vintage.

Friends who lived down the road from us when I was a child had this machine. IIRC found it odd that the washer didn't fill itself, one had to do it manually. Not sure if this model has an automatic fill or is manual.

They really don't build units like this anymore. Today's portable washers from GE or Whirlpool/Kenmore are a poor reproduction.

This was the first washing machine I ever lived with. I was very young and don't remember it much, but I guess for a toddler in diapers it was perfect.

It does hook up to a sink and is convertable to permanent hook-ups. This one has metered fill like a regular machine would and also 3 water level settings. It's a nice little machine.

I'm watching it and will probably bid on it and hopefully be picking it up next weekend.

yeah!!!

looks like I finally have a machine to play with!!! Thanks for the heads-up! I know it's not OLD OLD OLD, but I love these little belt-drive Kenmores! Can't wait to get it home this weekend. Thanks guys!
