washer and dryer
Very nice set Whirlcool!! I remember seeing those exact same ones here in Maine at a dealer and pining for them when they were brand new. I dont know if the sold many of them but I do know that they sold plenty of other model Whirlpools and Maytags. My Maytag A613 I bought a few years ago for about 150 bucks and it was used. The washer was hardly used and the woman that had it "upgraded" to a Neptune. I wonder if she is kicking herself for it now. The A613 runs very quietly. Every time I use it I think of my grandmother since she had an A608. She taught me how to do laundry as a kid. She took my by the hand at 2 years old and what began as something that I should know has turned into something that I wont forget. She is gone now but that memory will always live with me.
She used to have a Bradford and Whirlpool wringer washers in the basement that she would use when she didnt want to use the Maytags. One washer would be the wash and one the rinse and my grandfather had taken the wringer off the Whirlpool and my grandmother would use the wringer on the Bradford. The wash would go from one into the other and then from the rinse washer into a tub with a hose attached at the bottom. She would fill it with water and the clothes and blueing and drop the hose to the floor and let the water swirl out of it. she had a hose that filled the water into the tub at an angle..hence the swirling. Ran the clothes thru the wringer again and out to the lines. It was a labor of love and alot of work.
