Wow Les, very nice little collection you've got started there!   Yeah I agree with Ben, very cool looking control panel on the Magic Chef! 

 

Congratulations!

Cool that you were able to start a collection! Ofcourse you need some 1959 model too, after all 1959 was a very good year! ;-)

You just need to add a GE Filter Flo from the early 1980's and White Westy from the early 80's (straight vane and ramp), and a Whirlpool set from the 80's...That would make your collection GREAT lol!

Great collection, Les! Do you use the Tragic Chef - Norge often?

1972 LKM Washer

It looks like the outer parts of the console have been painted black, looks good but you may lose points for being non original, LOL Looks like you are going to have a great collection.

Way cool, Les...

Haven't seen you guys in a while...
So when's your wash-in?...

I do use the Chef Norge. Usually one load a week. It's great for jeans and sturdy perm press stuff. The 1-18 of course is  towels, sheets, tightie whities, etc. I agree about 1959 being a great model year. I rolled off the assembly line myself that year.

The Lady K is giving me some trouble. The belt keeps slipping off even though it's brand new and the wig wag is acting up a bit too.

 

George, we need to get together and do some wash soon!

Why is it called 1-18?

Very nice collection. I like the Magic Chef.
The control panel reminds me a bit of the console of the European front loaders of the 80's. Cool

* on the LK

What are the * for on the Lady Kenmore's dial.  It is right around the rinse section

 

[lesto]

The * on the dial is where the deep rinse begins. The space before the timer gets to it is the spin-spray rinse.

cool

Thanks!.
