Some Kenmores and Whirlpools need new homes...

Thats cool,
Hey what is the machine in your avetar symble ? What's the year and model? Do you have any of those?

Love RevvinKevin's response -- I, too, have done similar trips. 11 hours one-way from Eureka to Tacoma to get my coveted 64 Norge set (but traded a 74 coppertone Frigidaire 1-18 set for it) and 5 hours to/from Eugene, OR to get my turquoise '65 Whirlpool set, 5 hours to/from Sacramento to get my late 70s harvest gold GE set...you get the idea...Kevin and I must have been truck drivers in a previous life!

The truck rental thing is an economical substitute instead of having someone ship the machine(s) to you if you are within a reasonable distance to get what you want.

I do own a truck, but wish it had a lift gate!

Thanks for all the info! Washers forever! LOL

Good luck with the sales Gordon. I am sure you will find owners for every one of them, and not have to think about sending any to that awful thing I shall not mention.

Hi everyone!

I took 63 pictures today!

I will post some of the highlights momentarily and later this evening.

This is the 1967 concealed console set which I mentioned. The dryer is pristine and hardly used. Washer needs a loving touch of a good BD servicer.

I have had the washer since 1993 and it has never been wiped down. Pardon it's unkempt appearance...

 

[kenmoreguy64]

This is a general view of "The Whirlpool room". As I mentioned before, I want only one or maybe two of these. Rest can go...

Some of the machines have stuck leveling legs, no issues there.

A few more WPs.

I believe that every machine in these two photos came from Arizona.

 

[kenmoreguy64]

This is a pretty interesting Whirlpool

It's a 1973 model, but has a gold Kenmore agitator in it. The console says "Imperial 80". This could be a special machine for someone.

 

[kenmoreguy64]

A matching or almost matching dryer for the Imperial 80. I would like these two to go together.

The 1972 Ladies

I believe these are sold, but here are some pics anyway. They too have been sitting for a while.

The 1969 Kenmore 700

 

[kenmoreguy64]

This machine is likely sold too, but I've never shared it on the site before, only because it was in storage and difficult to access. This is a 1965 Whirlpool. It came in the same lot as the '67 Kenmore and I've had it since 1993. It was filthy then and still is.

I like the bakelite Surgilator, the minty basket, and the magic mix filter. This machine has a short in it somewhere, I suspect the timer. Looks very low mileage.

As I said, it is likely already moving to a new home.

WP money shot

 

[kenmoreguy64]

Here is an interesting single speed Whirlpool - they make the Delicate cycle a "short" cycle instead of using a different timer.

 

[kenmoreguy64]

That's all for now. I hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Have a good rest of the weekend!

Hi Gordon,

Do you have a picture oh the 67 Kenmore's with the timers showing? This is almost my dream machine.

Thanks

David
