I know - I haven't posted for a while. I should be back in the States for a few months. And I promise to post my finds more frequently. I got a bigger storage unit which means that I can keep more things! So now....presenting (sorry they're still dusty) a Frigidaire WN7 in Aztec Copper with a window lid.

Rich!! That Kenmore washer, I haven't seen that since I was 10 or 11 years old. Neighbors on the opposite side (the other side had the LK Combo) had this washer. That washer made me want to replace our 1955 GE with a Kenmore. The W'n'W cycle shifts from regular to gentle agitation at the 4 or 6 minute mark. another hcildhood memory resurrected. thank you!!! (I actually thought it was a 1960 model
 
Wow those are all beautiful! That Gold Crown Rapid Dry is the same one my mom had when I was a youngster. I really envy the relics you all dig up!
 
Beautiful Rich!

What year is the WN7 from? Looks like a '67 or '68. Howabout an inside shot?

the Kenmore looks sweet. The waterfall filter and the pregnant roto-swirl agitator are my favorites. Does the script on the front say "Cycla-Fabric"?

WP, KM Wash &Wear slow up

Sorry guys, but I have never liked that the agi slowed down at the 6 or 4 mark point on the dial. A normal size load that had great turnover during the "regular" speed had "no" turnover at the slower speed. Things just didn't get as clean as they should have. I know from experience, having done my family's laundry starting when I was 12 with a WP from 1965. The cool down was great but the change in speed, especially in the rinse cycle was just plain dumb. I didn't overload the thing, and I would change it back and forth from regular to pp so the agi speed would stay fast. The slow spin speed was OK I guess, but later when I got a Tag where the PP cycle was shorter and had a good drain and refill cool down with a regular spin speed but shorter time length worked perfectly all of the time. Everything got very clean AND didn't wrinkle.

What's worse is that I had a condo with a 10 (1987) year old WP in it pretty far up the line of models and it did the same damn thing. I could only put 1 pair of pants and about 4 dress shirts in it or everything just floated on the top during the last part of the wash. Just stupid IMO.

My 20.00 dollars worth--since 2 cents doesn't mean anything anymore.

That's a '2' on the timer knob indicated it's a two speed machine.
Love those late 50's, early 60's Kenmores!
