Warehouse Cleanout

Very nice machines all!

I'm very familiar with the washer that goes with the 62 Kenmore dryer. The controls are very reminiscent to me of a '58 Frigidaire. I believe these were model "70". The washer has 3 cycles, numbered (not alphabet) timer, you set the water temps manually, and waterfall lint filter, pregnant roto swirl agitator.

Scott, you are absolutely right abou it being a Model 70 'cuz I remember that on my cousin's deryer. And I too thought the tie between the '58 Unimatic & this panel, however mine was reverse, I thought of the Kenmore panel when I saw the 58 Unimatic for the first time in Robert's basement. The 770 series was pretty much the MOL, all American washer & dryer pair throughout Kenmore's line, even well into the DD design.

Photo 3 has two Maytag push button dryers and the older one appears next to the 1-18 in the last photo.

Here is something to think about. The cost of gasoline is slowly falling and is supposed to continue slowly downward. I was wondering if members of the club who have vans or pickup trucks might consider forming regional co-ops for transporting appliances. We could look at distances and see if we could figure out relatively short hauls with the chance to visit each other at the trade off points and either grab a bite to eat while we share photos or literature or check out the alleys behind some local dealers or hit a flea market or thrift store in the area. It would not be high speed transportation and shipments might need to wait until something needs shipping from the other end. This would not be a free service, but if drivers were compensated for gas and got to see enough appliances to keep it interesting, it might work.

Maytagluver, I'm not sure what I want to do with the 806 dryer. It came out of a little old lady's place and is close to perfect.

The coppertone dryer & the 62 dryer are now spoken for. I would like to thank everyone for the responses & emails.

Tom, there is only 1 pushbutton dryer sitting there, just a different photo angle.

For the Kitchen Aid Fans

Here is a TOL pushbutton Kitchen Aid washer. I have no idea if it works or not. I need $25 for it to cover it's room & board over the years.

Madeline Kahn

Madeline Kahn played the Empress Nympho in "History of the World (Pt.1)" where she made some "really big decisions..."

Baron Rolfe von Stuppe is from "The Great Race" (played by Ross Martin), who had the reputation of being the Potsdorf's leading swordsman.

Strange way to get these two movies to intersect...

Wow, that warehouse has really filled up since the last time you posted pictures ;-) You have some nice stuff there, I'm sure you won't have any issues finding new homes for most. And wow, yet another pre '06 series push button dryer surfaces in less than 6 months - is there something in the air???

Hotpoint Silhouette 1968

We had that same Hotpoint dryer. We purchased ours in 1968 and it worked until about 1991.
I believe the accents (at least the knobs) were available in turqoise.
That angly Silhouette-style control panel design ran through most of the 1960s and through the 1970s (as best I can recollect). We purchased a replacement Hotpoint washer in 1975 and it still exactly matched the 1968 dryer.
