This set is a sweetie. I call them Lucy and Ethyl
I posted here about a year ago asking help to get them running. Now we are ready to pass them on to the next lucky owner. They run great for their age and we have been using them weekly for over a year. We were told they are from 1957, 58, 59 or early 60's. Those in the know may be able to figure out with the pic of the model plate. The dryer is a condensing dryer, very rare and it runs well. We were never able to find a replacement timer, but the heating element works and the push button temps do regulate the heat.
The washer fills, runs all the cycles and drains well. There is a minor leak we think is in the seal of the drum, but it has run this past year with this slight drip not being an obstacle to its use. There is an inconsistent squeak when the washer runs in the spin and wash cycle. We had a local service guy who worked on these back in the day tell us they these are very rare. He replaced the hot cold valve for us and was sure they once were the top of the line. He told us the squeak was not an obstacle to use, and could be repaired with the right parts and knowledge. We've enjoyed using them and sharing them with other MCM geeks. We need more reliable machines for daily use though and don't want these to just sit. Hoping they find a lover of MCM or someone who can appreciate their unique vintage value.
This .org was a big help when we first got them and wanted to give you all first dibs. $800 for set sold as is. I am in central Indiana, for local pickup or the buyer pays and sets up the shipping arrangements. If I don't get any nibbles from this group before April 5. I will post on other sites. Thanks
