WASHING MACHINE Picture Thread, part 5

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Louis I vaguely remember an h axis washer here over 20 years ago. It was not a combo. It had a plastic top that lifted up to access a stainless basket with a trap door for loading. I want to say it was branded Eco something but that’s been a long time ago and never saw another.
 
‘76 Maytag A606

These pictures are from when I first got this washer and it was dirty from sitting for quite some time apparently. It didn’t take much cleaning and turned out to be in like new condition.

Favorite MT console with the gold, the polished dial and the crystal handle.
Sharp!

You have def. got the collection. Must have generous warehouse or shed.
 
Those are very nice machines! I’d love to get my hands on an A806 set, preferably in a color other than white. Harvest gold and Avocado Green have been longtime favorites of mine, as well as pink and turquoise but I know those are rather rare colors.
 
Thanks! I’ve been into collecting these machines my whole life. Since discovering this site it has gotten out of control. Lol! I do have a large space but there are so many machines in there now it’s not easy to maneuver in there anymore. I do have plans to get it cleaned up though.

I made a 6 hour round trip for the avocado 806 and missed them having the matching dryer by a couple of years. They said the dryer had caught fire. They told me the machines belonged to the grandmother who purchased them new.
 
yep

"...it’s not easy to maneuver in there anymore..."
I've been there. ... a couple of times. I started when I was about 14.

Felt like a kid in a candy store. At one point (2002) I bought another house because the house I was living in was mostly filled. Not just washers and dryers but also dishwashers, a few refrigerators, and lost of canister vacuums. Plus retro furniture and decor.

You have washer gold there.

I actually had the TOL Kitchenaid washer that matched yours, also in almond. It was a self-advancing electro-mechanical timer and the panel had a row of small (60s GE stove styled) buttons. That was 2002. I think I paid $150 for it. It worked fine and it had a green agitator.

That LK I picked up for free, in white, when I was first starting out around 1984. It worked fine but it needed a new pulley for the transmission. The odd noise is the reason the person wanted to get a new washer. I'm fairly certain it had a sudsaver. [this post was last edited: 1/8/2022-19:52]
