AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !
Tick, Tick, Tick, DING ... 7:00pm Central on the dot...
Oh they're just beautiful, 1957 Pink Lady Kenmore's in MINT shape. Looks like both machines will need a bit of work mechanically, but there is not a scratch or chip on the pink porcelain anywhere and the control panels are in wonderful shape. I'm a very happy camper tonight.
What is neat about this dryer too is its a 50amp high speed dryer with an 8400 watt element!
More info and pictures to come later, I must go play now.

When I saw that thread title, I thought you might be pregnant! At any rate, what a set!! What a beautiful addition to your collection too - you DO need a box of Pink Dreft.

Wonderful set Robert I can't wait to see the waterfall filter in action again. I bet you could bake a pie in that dryer though!
Congratulations!!!

How fabulous is that! Enjoy your new set!
No more teasing, I promise...
Hi everyone and thanks for the congratulations. A very nice man contacted me who lives north of Spokane, WA. He’s a car collector and a few years ago when his elderly neighbors were moving out he thankfully decided to save their beautiful pink vintage washer and dryer set that was in their basement. He had kept the set for a while but decided he wanted the garage space for cars and that’s when he went looking and found our web site. He contacted me and asked if I would be interested in these, how could I turn them down? $1,250 later with shipping here they are, and I couldn’t be more happy with them. My old farm LK will be broken down for parts that I will keep to use in the future to keep this pink beauty machine running for the rest of my life.
As I said above, what’s neat about this dryer too is it’s a rare Kenmore “High-Speed" dryer. They only made these from 1955 thru 1959 or 1960. The gas version of the high speed was made for a few years more after that, but not too long. It doesn’t work by baking the clothes, the operating thermostat is actually set to only 125-130 degrees at the high mark, so it’s a relatively cool dryer. What it does is use an 8400 watt electric element (the gas version uses a 37,000 BTU burner) to get the temperature up and hold it up very, very fast. It also came with the room heater attachment which I will photograph over the weekend. I’m going to work on the dryer first this weekend as it should only take 10 or so hours to do. The washer will be a bigger project, but I have all the parts and I’m ready start working on that next week.
Here are a few more shots…

Hi Terry thanks! Yes it's the Suds-o-Matic model as they called it in '57.
