Yikes! I'll have to pretend I never saw this!

 

[redcarpetdrew]

Too late, Gordon! Now you'll have to try to pretend you didn't already call on them...

Oh man...

I think I'll call on them tomorrow. My birthday was yesterday - might make a cool treat to myself...

I'll keep the club posted - always wanted to find a never-used set since I found this amazing group.

There's nothing like a brand-new washer (and dryer!) smell. Go Gordon!

 

[moparguy]

Happy Birthday Gordon... and this will be the perfect birthday treat! How awesome to find a brand new pair!

 

[pdub]

YAY Gordon!

I hope you get these to add to your collection. You deserve them!

Isn't it strange how these things are turning up lately? Hope we get to hear the story on how they came to be never used.

@ Gordon....

Happy Birthday, Gordon!!!

You know, there's nothing like giving yourself a treat for your birthday.

Those "Pools" have your name written all over them. They're brand new and never used. Go get em', man...

Happy birthday Gordon.  Sic' 'em Whirlpools!!

 

[redcarpetdrew]

They even still have the birthday gift packing... Errr... Wrapping... You must be mellowing out in your old age to be chasing these as they aren't Kenmores... (ducks and runs... FAST!)

Go Get em

Oh Shit WAIT! Aren't these from the wrong side of the WP family? Next thing I know you'll get a Speed Queen and you GE dishwasher will be replaced by a HOBART!

Be nice to know what models these are! The Whirlpool washer at least has bleach & fabric softener dispenser, and the dryer has a drop-down door so they may be pretty, somewhat high-endy!

OMG!

Dream sometimes do come true!

They're LDA series, 1976-77.

Is the washer super-capacity or standard? Hard to tell from the pics.

Hope you had a happy birthday, Gordon!

 

[DADoES]

 
Should be an 18#er.  My guess is LDA-8800, which is one step below the TOL 9800 of the time.

 

[DADoES]

 
Notice there are two cycles on the dryer's timer, which would be timed or electronic autodry. Thermostatic autodry would have separate Regular and Perm Press auto cycles.

Nice Whirlpools

Gordon, hope you'll be able to get these.

Happy belated Birthday!

Definately an 18 pounder--know it like my palm

Yielding to Glen the WP Guru:.... is this machine, an LDA 6900, a few years than the discovery? Never knew its year of birth. The temp dial is different, but they're certainly kissin' cousins. Still going strong after all these how many years? This belonged to my Aunt Alice and has never seen a repairman. She gave it to me because the cabinet was rusting a bit at the bottom. Gotta love perfectionist Aunties. Whirlpool's longevity and dependability are remarkable, something you don't hear about too often.

Glen, can you tell me the year?[this post was last edited: 9/3/2012-12:38]

Gordon, you'll love this washer.

[goatfarmer]

Those will make a nice addition to your collection, Gordon, hope ya get 'em!

 

[kenmoreguy89]

Love them! So envious! Are they in Bedford the one in Maryland?
You Gordon gotta run for these!
I'm happy for you to get them and even envious! LOL

P.S Happy Belated B.Day

 

[kenmoreguy64]

First of all everyone, THANK YOU all for the birthday wishes....they are very much appreciated. It has been a nice birthday weekend.

I called about the machines -- sadly for us in the club they are sold! The nice guy who answered the phone said "Oh those should not still be on there, they've been sold."

So, presumably one day another set will come about. At least I was the buyer of a belt drive when they were still in production so if I don't find another it won't be a huge disappointment.

Surgilator

That is by far my favorite surgilator. I prefer it over the winged thang. Not so much an anti-wing thing as an anti-suds caker. I'd rather see the turnover...

The 18# machines use 22 gallons for a full load, correct?
