Today's POD: Zenith washers

Colours Colours

What an interesting machine, and easy for the repairman (if needed) with side access panel..

What colour was the Fiberglass tub and the agitator??

Those water fill pockets sound perfect for balancing the drum, what other machines did this??

Cheers, Mike

My Auntie Janet had a Zenith refer a bit newer than the one pictured above. It had a big chrome handle and went to live in the basement after being usurped by a coppertone M/W Signature in about 1971. I have seen Zenith Wringer Washers at the Salvation Army.

Nice Dryer!

Hi real nice dryer. I wonder what the matching washer looked like. Is it a gas or electric?

Electric.

That is a very cool dryer Runematic. I've seen similar ones under the Marquette brand name. This is absolutely a Franklin made dryer from around 1960.

Who Knew-(well, besides Robert of course)

So after commenting on this thread, i went to actually view the POD and I was, at 11:00pm, too late. However I discovered that a special mention is made on the POD page if you are the first person to view it. YAY! So I swooped in again tonight and was again the first to view the Inglis Royal Pair POD. What a beautiful Canadian interpretation of the steadfast Whirlpool machines. It almost makes you cry! So be the first to see the POD sometime. Do I win a prize?

That Zenith Dryer looks like GE married a Whirlpool. Nice.

My appliance lady Myra and I went on a service call about 20yrs ago down in her neck of the woods, and there was a Zenith washer in the basement. I tried to get the lady to part with it, but she said it belonged to the landlord. I always wondered what happened to it.......It was a very tinny looking washer, and in pretty bad shape, but Ive always regretted not trying hard to get it.
