OMG! WOW! YAY! A dream machine won on eBay - Lady Kemore Combo in PINK!

[revvinkevin]

WOOHOO... I am SO EXCITED! I won the auction for the 1960(?) Pink Lady Kenmore combo washer/dryer! And I got SO LUCKY on the price too!!

A LK combo is a dream machine for me, though honestly I'd prefer the newer, smaller version, but this is still an LK combo so I'M NOT COMPLAINING!

I want to express A BIG THANK YOU to any of you who refrained from bidding to give me the opportunity to get this machine!

I will post detailed photos sometime next week (after the wash-in) when I get a chance.

(still buzzing with excitement...)
Kevin

Congratulations!!!

You must be tickled pink... LOL!! Seriously, way to go! Can't wait to see your <test drives> when you get it home!

That is awesome, Kevin! I love the highly stylized console on your '58, '59, or '60 combo. You'll have to figure out the exact vintage once you get the serial number. I used to have a 1959 Sears catalog and the console on the w/d looked just yours, so I'm guessing Kenmore must have used the same styling for a few seasons.

Anyway, looking forward to photos and (if possible) video!

Shipping.

Don't forget to brace the suspension, bolt the suspension, or whatever it needs s it won't get damaged in transit.

Thank you Dave!

But there's no shipping, it's only 25 miles away, I'm going to pick it up myself. Umm, well... not pick it up "myself", it's WAY too heavy for that! LOL

Thanks!
Kevin

She needs a name. A really fun name!

Congrats, Kevin, you'll love that huge drum.

Allow me to rephrase.

Secure the suspension before moving it. I recall someone posting of how this was critical lest NLA parts get damaged.

Congratulations!
Dave

Congratulations!

Congratulations, Kevin!!!

Yes, please do make sure to secure it--I remember on the smaller units you had a tap-lever or some such related to the balancing mechanism that could be damaged if the suspension banged around in transit. There was a method for adjusting it to prepare for transport.

Thats nice of you

To buy the set and deliver it to us on your way to Minnesota. LOL

Congrats Kevin! I knew you'd get that, and you were so unsure in the beginning! VERY cool too that you don't have to ship it anywhere...

GOOD LUCK with it!

Yay Kevin!!

Just to let you know, I had a neighbor who had this model and there is a small see through window behind the base plate. it is there to show you the level of suds in the machine so you can be sure there aren't too many. Ours was a newer gas model. It had the balance system lock. That MUST be locked before shipment and,once it is in place,unlocked.it's a small finger turn nut on the left side of the inside of the base plate.Wisk HE is the best low sudsing detergent for these models. Just 1/8 capful.

Pink 1960 Lady Kenmore Washer/Dryer Combination.....

@ RevvinKevin:

So...... how much did you win her for on e-bay???

And do you have some muscle on hand when its time to pick up the machine??? I think that beast weighs 400-to-500 lbs.
