re: diagrams

What are the model no.s again? I probably have the schematics for both machines (as well as other service information) on a microfiche card. I would be glad to retrieve it for you.

 

[Dick_S.]

spinout--that would be super and thanks for the offer. Any info I can get on the pair, in fact any of my early Kenmores is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
The model #s are dryer-5708951P washer-5705953

funguy-Yes I would be happy to do that once I get my scanner back from my friend. ((--::

Had a nice holiday visit....

...with Ross, (westyslantfront) from Tucson last Sunday. He'd never been up to my place to see my collection and from the way things looked when he arrived, I'm surprised if he'll ever come back! ((--:: We'd just experienced terrible winds and I was in the midst of picking up and retrieving things blown as far as 10 acres away. Merlin from PS was also here.

Of course, the "celebrity" was the 57 LK which is running just great. I also ran 3 other Kenmores and both the 57 and 58 dryers.

Although our visit was short I was running top speed trying to show Ross everything. Well, he'll just have to come back and hopefully he'll bring Roger with him and hopefully I'll have another room by that time and more machines hooked up.

My warmest wishes to all for a wonderful, healthy and happy 2008!

Dick

Thanks for sharing the picture Dick, Ross looks very happy there but who wouldn't with your beautiful machines to use.

Wonderful Job!

Congratulations, Dick.

You need to be proud of yourself. What an accomplishment!

Your success is inspiration for all of us who are not mechanically inclined.

Bravo!

OMG those machines are just gawgous! Great work!

 

[westyslantfront]

Hi Dick. Thank you for inviting me and giving me the opportunity to see your beautiful collection, especially the pink Lady K set. I look forward to a return visit.

Ross

 

[gyrafoam]

Wow, and Ross has really lost the weight!
Congratulations Ross!

Hi Dick. I just watch the video. This Lady is a beauty! You did an awesome job on it.

Is the 57 the last year Sears used a one-minute interval timer before they switched to the 2-minute to accomodate the addition of the wash n wear cycle in 58?

If you have time soon can you post some pics of your 58? That's my favorite year for the Kenmore Ladies.

Thanks,
Lesto

Adding the 1957 Ladies to My Video Collection

With some assistance from a couple of folks here, I am having great success in collecting several Kenmore and other washer demos. Would still be interested in files of Dick's 1957 Kenmores, as these would become the oldest washers added to my computer video collection.--Laundry Shark

John's visit

Harvestgold from SD and I had a nice visit recently and of course we ran the "Lady" ((--:: He is such a nice guy and we never run out of "subjects" to talk about. Hmmmmmmm....... I need to get over to SD and check out his rapidly growing collection one of these days. After he left I couldn't pull myself away from the machines and had 3 washers hummin' all afternoon, also the 57 LK dryer.

lesto-I will do some pictures of the 58 for you soon. I think overall, that is my favorite washer as I had so many memories of it while growing up.

Oh, and laundryshark-I haven't forgotten about you and the sound files of my old Kenmores. You will have them, I promise.

 

[Dick_S.]

Never get enough

of watchin' those old Kenmores. Just love em.

Terry-it is always nice to hear from you and hope that 63 pink Maytag is runnin' super.

And to Danelto and Washerlover-thanks for your nice comments.

 

[washerlover]

Thanks for the "thanks!" Even we up here in the far reaches of the Redwoods of northwestern California love that pink! Hoping to add that color to my collection...so far only Coppertone, White, and Harvest Gold.

Your Blushing Ladies?

You know full well that I only loaned those and the
Copper V's to you! Honestly ; some collectors just need to get a grip!!!

 

[pdub]

Dick...

You didn't say the machines were only on loan.

I'm shocked!

PS- Is that your ballerina pose next to the pink machine?!!!

 

[tlee618]

Dick not to worry that beautiful Maytag Highlander is running like a champ!! You need to get down here one day and see it in person. Terry

Shark Making His Rounds

Hey Dick,

Still a watching and waiting with baited fishy breath for those classic Lady Kenmore audio shots. And while I'm at it up here, just wanted to track down David and Dennis. I forget your screen names. I wanted to follow up on how you are coming along with those other washer file projects I popped your direction from off the streaming YouTube. Nothing soothes the winter blues and kills bordom like a bunch of classic laundry demos.

Many Thanks!

Laundry Shark

 

[Dick_S.]

Such a playful jokster he is........!

Patrick-You can rest easy. Frontalobotomy is such a smarty sometimes but you can't help but love him anyway!! (--:: And NO, I wasn't having one of my Loretta Young moments-I was supporting the roof of the wash studio! I didn't think it was that noticeable, but obviously is was.

Frontal left the cat out of the bag about the early 60's coppertone V-12 set with mini wash. I was waiting till I had some pics of them and start a new thread which I will do as soon as the winds and the rain stops for a bit.

Terry, you never know. I'm feeling I want to do something special next year for what I consider a special B-Day so....you just might see me down in your neck of the woods. In the meantime you are most welcome out here.

And Laundryshark-I'm working on that audio project. You'll be hearing again from me. Just be patient with me. I'm old and don't move as fast as I used to! ((--::
