A new request...

Hey Robert, since you have quite the knack for searching this stuff out, I've got something that's on the top of my wish list...

I'm looking for a 1965 Kenmore 800 series washer. There was one posted a month or so ago in Ft Wayne IN, and since I'm within day road trip distance to there from up in Michigan, I took off down there last weekend to get it.

Unfortunately, the condition was not nearly as good as what the seller was representing to me. It's not running, and at best it's likely to be a parts donor for when I find a better machine. I've not yet had a chance to investigate what it's issues might be. Even if I am able to get it going, there are some features that have been removed over time, that would keep it from feeling like the machine from my youth.

Thanks for undertaking these searches for all of us, and good luck!

Mark

@stricklybojack: I've been looking for pre '65 Maytags (matching pair) and GE Fridges from the early '60s with Lazy Susans and top Freezers on the western half of the country.. Maybe you'll have better luck?

This one's a beauty. If only the husband would allow a vintage gas range....

Oh yeah --

I'm also on the hunt for a working early '60s GE Frost Guard Combination fridge with bottom freezer and swing-out shelving, hinges on the right (how's that for specificity?).   The smaller size, although in pictures it can be hard to tell. 

 

Preferably in the greater SF Bay Area.

Reply #44 - yeah, the more eyes the better

I have tried but always wonder if I missed it, not being everywhere, everyday, all the time.

Well looky here, in the Bay Area Easy..

Ad copy:

This is a rare opportunity for a real off grid laundry solution. This is an uber rare Easy Spindrier washing machine. This is a deluxe model with waterpump. It has 2 tubs one is large with agitator and the other is a high speed spinner to spin dry clothes.
I have used this and also a more common wringer washer. Wringers are difficult to use and modern clothes do not hold up. Easy Spindrier is the answer.
Machine is in perfect working order and I can demonstrate.
