More of the Collection

[washerlover]

Here are more photos of my collection. Struggling to get the entire collection posted to my profile; just not computer-savvy and neither is my husband! I'll keep trying but hope you enjoy these. Unfortunately, I couldn't move back far enough to get the entire room. I'm in the process of converting our old poolhouse into a laundryhouse! (we removed our old swimming pool last year)

Signature

Here's my Wards set. None of these are hooked up yet; still working on installing plumbing and drainage system. A nice winter project!

'64 Kenmores

Did a "dry run" the other day of the washer and it smoked liked crazy after the spin cycle. Another winter project, I guess! Will be posting photos of the '65 Kenmore combo and '53 Kenmore washer & dryer once I get them cleaned up and running better.

Todd, I am so glad you came into the 21st century and have a digital camera now. I love your collection thus far. I'll be very anxious to see cloeups of the panels, but particularly both the Norge washer & dryer as well as that Kenmore washer. Obviously not a LK, but as best as I can tell an 800. Did you acquire these separately or werer they someone's former laundry pair? I can definitely say I've never ever seen one of these and am very very fascinated by it and what its features are. would laso love to see money shots of the machines with the lids open.

Nice collection!

Perhaps, in the near future, we may nudge you just a wee bit further into the 21st century and persuade you to film some action video clips too

Money shot of the Kenmore 800. It came with the detergent cup, too. I picked these up in Arizona when I was living there that some little old lady was going to send to the crusher. The washer has the slow-agitate partial fill/drain wash 'n wear cycle I just love! But the smoke coming from below has me worried...
