WASHING MACHINE Picture Thread, part 5

[repairguy]

I’ve always wanted to add one of those TOL kitchenaids to the collection but haven’t been able to yet. I found one at a used appliance shop last year in Louisiana but they would not hold it for me for a week until I could pick it up even if I paid them upfront.

Do you have more pics of that 1988 Hotpoint rim flo? Wonderful memories there!

 

[thatwasherguy]

Yes I do…

In fact, I’ve got several. Unfortunately, all of the machines shown above aren’t mine. The ‘89 kenmore were in my grandma’s old house she moved out of in 2017, the ‘93 kenmore is my great aunt’s. The only ones that are mine are the Speed Queen and the Maytag. Unfortunately, I was forced to sell the rimflo to make room for the Maytag. The longer it’s been, the more I regret selling it, but I didn’t have much of a choice. I did rescue the rimflo from going to the scrapyard, though, and it went to someone who could use it. Like I said, I regret selling it, but there was no way around it. Here are the pics.

Reply 56 ... I almost had a '65 LK ... sort of.  More years ago than I can say we were driving through the home-neighborhood and I spied a white specimen disconnected in a garage.  I was *sure* it was headed to the dump and managed to convince dad to stop there to inquire if I can have it.  Turned out the machine had a spin problem that they had fixed, just hadn't moved the machine back into the laundry room.

Those rim flows were great washers. Your model in particular was a workhorse, still found in use in apartments and condos. Yours might have been a single speed, which extended the life of the clutch. Simple, durable, and great wash results. I miss using one as much as you miss yours, if not more.

Doug, I got that pink Wolverine washer when I was like 7 or 8 years old.

I always wanted that pink one too, but instead on Christmas and Birthdays, I got a tonka truck because that is what boys play with. Thanks to our Webmasters posting, I scored a Sears Lady Kenmore Rite Hite washer from 1962 Sears Wishbook. Only thing is the 3 vane agitator goes up and down instead of back and forth. Sorry, no pictures because camera wont send pictures, but Roberts posting must be in the archives.

Doug those are some great machines in a nice set up.

I too would have loved having those toy washers.  The closest I came is receiving a 18" square wooden box on wheels my neighbor made and painted gray.  It was about 30" tall and had a piece of cove molding on the back edge giving the top a control panel look.  The top was also hinged to the back.  

To me it was washer.  I even painted on three colored buttons on the "panel" for hot-warm-cold.  Also took a piece of black rubber tubing that was about 3' long and stuck it in the back to give it a drain hose.

#66 & 68

Wow!  Love it.

 

I had the 77 in the coffee color.  Back in 2006.  Bought it from an estate in Connecticut.  Was in really nice condition too.

Doug your basement laundry looks great.  That box of Tide on the shelf i can smell the contents from here.  I remember buying the UN-condensed powder back when powder was the only option.

Thanks for the comments, its one of my pride and joys. Friends always marvel about the laundry room and the contents.

Maytag HOH ....in poppy ?

Do we think it's:

Poppy originally? ( doubt it)

painted poppy? ...and they seem to do a good job.

or is it shaded Coffee (or whatever MT called it 'Aztec blah-bid-de-blah') and the picture processing has distorted the color? The more I look....

The comments just kill me. lol
