A Slant Front set!

 

[turquoisedude]

I'd love to get a '56 GE set, with the Filter-Flo washer, in turquoise!

My dream is a set of stacked Neptunes, non-digital with an internal water heater. To go with it I'd have a second, non-digital dryer to improve throughput. One dryer would be gas, the other electric. Both the stacked set and the dryer would be mounted on matching, custom made pedestals to allow access without pain.

Second choice would be a Kenmore Series 90 with matching dryer.

Miele Miele sagte Tante die alle Waschmaschinen kannte

I would love this late 60's Miele set. Picture from the Miele museum in Gütersloh, Germany.

 

[delturner]

I'll take either a Kelvinator "Do all Dial" set or a 1958 super deluxe Norge set. Either set is incredible and so long as we're dreamin'....

1976 Lady Kenmores:

In Harvest Gold. Just like Grandma had. Those machines were nearly unbreakable and the washer could clean ANYTHING!

Laundry Room

A 1980`s Servis Quartz computer control set !!

 

[akronman]

hmmm

Something offbeat that folks outside this website wouldn't know, TOL Kelvinator from the 50's, a Zenith set making folks think television. Hmm, plenty of great stuff to choose. First year of 1-18's, I could go on and on.....60's Philco with the wobble plate, very different than agitators folks are used to......

1971 Lady Kenmore set.

 

[circlew]

Top 3 choices

My first choice would be a '66 or '67 Lady Kenmore in the rare Shaded Slate Blue color. Second would be a '67 Whirlpool in Edged Sapphire Blue, and lastly would be a mid 60's GE model WA-1250 in Turquoise.

 

[combo52]

Lady Kenmore In Shaded Slate Blue ? , I have seen no evidence they ever made this, WP had it in its line-up, but the color is not listed on any Kenmore parts lists during this time period that I have seen.

GE 950Y washer.   I found the dryer a couple of years ago and it's always been one of my all-time favorite GE styles.

Here is my Dream Set...no surprise

Sorry I just posted this, but this is really what I want...and only $319! And today is my birthday and my husband still hasn’t been able to find this for me..!

 

[warmsecondrinse]

I should mention I've always had a fascination with the Thor washer/dishwasher combo so I'd probably add that as well.

1967-68 Sears Kenmore Concealed Control Set (in Avacado)

Or The Mid 1960’s Miele Set that’s on this board

Or a Frigidaire Mid 1960’s Crown Imperial Jet Action Set with Rapidry Spin

[blackstone]

For me, it's obvious...

...although a model 350, along with the matching dryer, would be preferred.

 

[abcomatic]

I would like an ABC automatic from the 50's. I have the gas dryer to it, just like to have the washer to match.

 

[maytag63]

Maytag A906 pushbutton washer and DE906 dryer.

 

[rinso]

I'd like a 1976 Frigidaire TOL 1-18 Jet Cone washer, and the matching "Big Mouth" dryer.

 

 

[mrsalvo]

What a horrible question.....so many to chose from!!!

"1967-68 Sears Kenmore Concealed Control Set (in Avacado)." That would be good. But I wouldn't turn down a '69-70 GE Filter Flo or '74 Wards / Norge either.

[maytag85]

Maytag A806 washer and DE806/DG806 dryer set. I have many others, but Maytag is my all time favorite brand, but I do like WP/KM too. A Maytag A806 is my dream set, but the A606 I acquired recently is close enough for me though.

 

[lotsosudz]

1963 Lady Kenmore set

Loved those pushbuttons clustered around the dial. would love them in turquoise, or white, also a mid 60's Frigidaire Set with rapidri, and a flowing heat drier. Both sets with suds savers.

 

[syndets2000]

Very rare...

A Westinghouse laundromat model LS-7...I have the dryer, and these units were in production for only about a year..this was also the first slant front to use the slider pulley to change speeds, and it was with a straight slot , not curved...

 

[vacman1961]

My favorite laundry pair would be a top of the line GE Americana dispensall washer with programmed wash cycles and the matching 27" gas dryer, I was never a fan of the 30" dryer. My parents had a 1976 avocado dispensall washer with a light up console, it was a great machine, they had a non matching earlier avocado Whirlpool dryer with a hamper door.

 

[polkanut]

My dream set hands down would have to be a 1968 Avocado Whirlpool Mark XII Model LTA 9925 w/ Suds-Miser, and matching electric dryer, all with the faux woodgrain front panels.
