Pic of dryer.

He mentioned that the units has practically no rust worth mentioning.

 

[polkanut]

There is some minor wear to the finish on the baffles inside the dryer drum, but not too bad IMO.  The enamel inside the tub is in great condition too.

 

[polkanut]

The dryer is electric.

 

[polkanut]

If all goes according to plan these will be coming to Wausau this Saturday afternoon (5/24).  

 

[tennblondie78]

Yay!

They will be saved!!! Please document the trip!

 

[lorainfurniture]

I hope to document and photograph the trip to Cleveland as much as possible. This website has great members, and has restored my faith in humanity. Lol. Seriously it's pretty awesome that polkanut and combo52 have agreed to pick up, hold, and deliver to me. It really proves that there are still good people out there.

Looking forward to getting these units in!

Wasn't this the last year for the dryers with the perforated drum back?

 

[kenmore71]

No. The solid-bulkhead "officially" appeared on 1967 models. However, given the fact that Sears-Kenmore often continued models several years beyond their "debut" it is possible to find both 1965 and 1966 panels with the solid bulkhead out there (and in shaded Avocado too!!! shudder)

 

 

[polkanut]

I'll take pics tomorrow when it's light out.  Timmy tired.  Many thanks to Revvinkevin's creative rearrangement so my vehicle doesn't need to sit outside!

 

[kenmore71]

See you all on Monday at JetAtion's BBQ!

 

[polkanut]

You bet Mark!

 

[swestoyz]

Did someone say BBQ?

 

[lorainfurniture]

Any picture updates?

 

[revvinkevin]

No picture updates from me, however Tim may be able to post a few.

I can tell you both drain hoses are missing. Otherwise they look to be a rather nice condition inside and out.

[polkanut]

Thanks for the pic reminder Eugene.  Will do it later today when I have the car out of the way.

 

[lorainfurniture]

(Insert cricket noise).

Any pictures?

Did someone say crickets???


Ask and you shall receive!   

   

(plus a couple surprises too!)

<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 12pt;">Sorry for the delay in posting this but my 'puter was in the hospital from Monday until today.  John LeFever and his partner Smitty picked up the Kenmores Tuesday afternoon.  They're either in transport and should be arriving in Cleveland soon.  </span>

 

<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 12pt;">It was wonderful meeting them both, and our time together was all too brief.  John is a walking encyclopedia of appliance knowledge, and a national treasure for sure. </span>

 

[lorainfurniture]

They arrived.

It truly was a pleasure meeting john and smitty. John is truly the walking encyclopedia of appliances. Here is a photo after placing them in my store window.

They will sit there for a while until I can start the restoration process.

Picture from left to right: john, me (Eugene), and smitty.

Eugene, CONGRATS on getting this beautiful set!

I wasn't there to help haul them up and out of the basement, but I was at Tim's house to unload them from the truck and into the garage.

How VERY COOL they are on display in a storefront window, that is really awesome to see!! But I have to say that Samsung(?) FL washer in the middle looks REALLY out of place among those other beautiful vintage appliances!

Best of luck with them Eugene and keep us in the loop on the restoration.

Kevin

[classiccaprice]
