When I was out in MD, I took some pics of appliances that John would like to sell to make room in the warehouse. I'm posting them for John L. / Combo52 ([email protected]) so you will able to get more information and discuss the details with him directly.

Let's start with a Kenmore Wringer washer - sorry I don't have a picture of the whole machine, it is a Visi-Matic wringer though and looks to be from the mid-60's and in nice condition for it's age.

$50/OBO

Finally, we have a beautiful pink Whirlpool washer. This is one of two that John has so if someone is trying to make a matched set of this model, get in touch with him. He's not tested this machine to it's probably safe to assume it needs some restoration work. No price has been set on this one, shoot an email to him if you'd like more information.

WOW! That pink Whirly is a beaut! What year is that? I am going to guess 1960??

Too bad that I have not room either. One can never have too many classic belt drives though. I would LOVE to restore that machine. The "summer home" is calling me however.

Thanks for posting the pixs Greg.
 
Hmmmmmm

I guess we now know where Maytag got its clam shell console design from for their 06-09 series washers/dryers.

Bu bu bu bu but but Rick!!!, you need a project for the long cold winter!!!!!! I know you'll be tickled pink to have something to do during the winter!!!
 
Oh my!

That pink WP is AWFULLY tempting...
Must email John to see if there's any dishwashers up for grabs...
 
another "childhood" memory

I remember several of those Whirlpool washers. Most of the time all they needed was a pump or a new wig/wag solenoid. But the store didn't like them on the used sales floor because of their complex (and costly to replace) timers. A lot of the Lady Kenmores were like that too, a timer that selected everything but the water level (and sometimes that too) with a zillion wires on it. They sure were nice machines, especially when the matching dryer was traded in too.
 
That pink Whirlpool is unique for sure, and it seems to have all of the bells and whistles. I love how it has the Maytagesque shape to the console, and the numeric version of Kenmore alphabet dialing system. I wonder if this timer click stopped too, or was that exclusive to Kenmore. The lid handle sure is long. I am betting this is a 1960 washer, or perhaps 1959? I would not be surprised if this was the top Whirlpool that year whichever one it is.

Have a good one,
James
 
Skinny Minny

I am looking for a skinny minny to torture- not an agit-tub, but one of the frigidaire built things- do you have any of those laying around to give away?
