I found this set and am attempting to contact the seller about these. If it works out, I'll be getting them. If I think they are too much for my pocket book or someother reason I may not get them, I will pass the information along.

The dryer. Being sold as a set.
WOW!
Consider my digits crossed!
GOOD LUCK Justin!
Well I got ahold of the seller and he claims that he has at least $300 in work done to the machines(Haven't figured out yet what he had done), and that he needs at least $500 for the pair.
That is the 1961 Lady Kenmore Washer
with the famous automatic water level.....good luck I am keeping everything on my body that will stay crossed (don't ask)...crossed for you Justin LOL .....PAT COFFEY

Hope you get them!
Wow - Good luck Justin!! I have only seen the 1961 Lady Kenmore washer in a catalog. Unlike the 63s and 65s, I don't think they were very plentiful.
They were very expensive, and I know my parents decided against one due to the cost, and got the 70-series instead. It would be GREAT if an AW.orger could save these so there could be one in the club.
There was some interesting trim at the foot area of the cabinet, sort of a carry-over from the 1950s machines. Looks like it is intact on this washer.

Wow, be hugely interesting to get the scoop on that supposed automatic water level situation. There weren't any unusual components in that regard apparent on the parts list I've seen (assuming it was the correct diagrams).
Wow that 1961 Lady Kenmore washer for what ever reason is extremely rare, we've seen almost all other Lady Kenmore washers but not this one.
Excellent find!
Excellent find!
there seems to be a lot of one of a kind, rare machines turning up lately!.....best of luck on getting them, and of course, let us know how you make out!.....
the control panels on both are out of this world......but even the extras of the dryer.....slide up fabric guide and clothes hanger......you don't find stuff like this anywhere anymore....

Well I worked out s price with the seller. A bit more than I originally wanted to, but well worth it. A friend should be picking them up for me within the next couple days. Will keep everyone informed. I'm going to keep them. Might have some other machines up for grabs to make room for these.
Talk about the golden goose?
Chile you got a pot of gold!
Good luck on a great find!

Great score!
Congratulations on your new machines!
So much for the congratulations.
When I first made contact with the owner I asked how much he wanted for the set. His response was "shot me an offer? and I will talk to my wife about it?" so I responded with $100? He then responded "Im sorry it wont happened I payed over 300 to get both of them clean and running.....I need atleast 500.00." I then talked with him on the phone later, wanting to learn what was done, but he didn't know, just that they worked. They were his grandfathers and he got them after his grandfather passed away. I then offered him $400 for the pair, to which he agreed to(I heard him tell someone in the back ground who also approved of it). So I arranged with a friend in Las Vegas(where this set is) to pick up the set for me and hold them till next week. The owner sends me a text back "im sorry there's too much sentimental value on the machines....my father said no just cuz rare and past along from my grandfather" I respond with "No to selling them or no to the 400?" to which he replies "400 to low....I might have to keep them..." I then ask him how much does he want for them. This was over two hours ago. I have yet to hear back from him. I have also called and left a message on his phone. I'm about ready to tell him where he can put the machines. Anyways I'm done with this guy, if he can't be decent enough to stand by what we had agreed to, then I'm not willing to deal with him. Also he can't seem to make a decision on his own either(wife or dad). So if someone else wants to be jerked around by him by all means, have fun. Here is the original Craigslist ad.
Also sorry for the lack of grammar and spelling in the quotations, that is actually what he wrote in his texts.
Sorry for my venting. I'm just upset that people don't have any courtesy and don't stick with their word.

the old bait and switch
Sorry it didn't work out. You probably saved yourself from getting scammed though. I bet he was hoping you offered crazy money for them and Western Unioned the money. Seems people are catching on to these niche collectibles and scams are proliferating. I also love Vintage Canned ham camper and VW's. I'm running across scams left and right on ebay an craigslist...

REALLY Sorry to Hear about this Justin.
There seems to be Alot of Bait & Switch B/S
results coming out of CL ads lately.
This is very similar to the fiasco of the
2 "Free" Wonder Kitchens here in Jersey,
last month.
Unfortunately these sellers don't have
a backbone or integrity.
Don't take it personally.
"We can't Rationalize an Irrational Thought Process".
No need to apologize about venting. This kind of
stuff is infuriating to us all.
