Lookey what i found around isolated Colorado

[agitatorboogie]

Ever since I scored a turquoise set of Maytags, my love for vintage washing machines has grown...I've scoured the isolated depths of Craigslist in my home state and here's what I've found.....*gasp*

[agitatorboogie]

[agitatorboogie]

....if i didn't have a turquoise Hotpoint stove already, i'd get this....

[agitatorboogie]

OMG

[agitatorboogie]

[agitatorboogie]

Wow! Some nice stuff available there. That Maytag set is to die for!

 

[revvinkevin]

That Maytag set ........

 

 

Oh yes.... *GASP* is right!

 

If those were closer then Colorado, I'd be all over them like a moth to a porch light!

Oh! I hadn't noticed the Speed Queen is an electronic set!

 

[whirlykenmore78]

Electronic SQ set

WOW I'd love to have those if they were closer.

 

[revvinkevin]

WOW I'd love to have those if they were closer.

 
 
 
Oh come on Nick.... they are ONLY in Colorado... just 900 miles away!

Is Indiana close enough? I have a set of electronic SQ's I just picked up. Haven't plugged them in, condition unknown.

Its amazing how many of these Kenmore washers and dryers still have the "Sears Best" sticker on them. Even the stickers were of high quality...

 

[turquoisedude]

Oh my! The Frigidaire dryer looks like it would be a match for my 63 Deluxe washer! Of course I'd have to have the washer cabinet repainted turquoise to match - as if THAT would be a problem... LOL

Colorado is a bit far, though, even for someone who has had machines shipped up from as far away as Florida...

MT all Pushbuttion pair

These are getting pretty rare, hope someone here gets them, I already have a brown pair. If someone in the club gets these I will give them the missing button for the dryer.

 

[arbilab]

Thanks, I never knew there was an all-pushbutton Tag. The techno panels must have been ahead of their time because mfr's reverted to dials for a long time before techno came back.

 

[applianceguy47]

Wow, so much to chose from. 

 I like the pale yellow color of the stove.

 

Nice screen name, too!

 

[foraloysius]

That's sunny yellow.

 

[oldskool]

The Maytag Pair

...are sold!

Hope somebody in AW got them.

The owner says they just sold to "some guy" in Minnesota.

Congratulations to whomever the proud new owner is!

 

[oldskool]

Similarly...

the Speed Queen Electronics are sold also. Again, hopefully someone in AW got these beauties!

 

[firedome]

I'd love that fridge!

If only my daughter in Denver had a garage!!

The owner says they just sold to "some guy" in Minnesota.

Don't look at me lol, although if they had been closer

 

[rp2813]

This is like Mega Millions.

 

When is the lucky person going to come forward?

 

[circlew]

GE range

The correct name for this color is Canary Yellow. The Sunny Yellow that Louis mentioned is the name for Frigidaire's later yellow (after Stratford Yellow).

 

[foraloysius]

I stand corrected! Canary yellow sounds great!

1962 Frigidaire dryer

In 1962 they had the daisy wheel timer knob and the script for "Flowing Heat"... Purty dryer!!!

 

[washerlover]

Unimatic 1140, your pic is my FAVORITE agitator!! (belongs to a Norge/Wards)

 

[applianceguy47]

Thanks, Louis, and others for the help on the colors.

 

Canary Yellow.

 

I traded in my obsession with 80s Toast and Platinum for 60s Canary Yellow, Candy Pink, and the lite blue color. 

 

Isn't there another name for the pink shade.   Something like carmichael Pink or Carnation Pink?  Canoga Park Pink(lol).

 

What is the formal name for the blue color?

 

Were these colors shaded on the edges?
