Thought I had seen ever Lucy episode, was often sad about NY kitchens' lack of washing machines. Never new the washer episode existed. But even more astonishing in Robert's link is the machine on the left. The agitate arm, the indented upper tub both suggest a Lady Kenmore Visamatic. Is a full view of this machine visible in the DVD? Then endless shocks and joys at AW.org!!!!

I don't recall Lucy ever having a Frigidaire washer. My Three Sons and Leave it to Beaver had Frigidaire washers. In the original Lucy/Desi Comedy Hour, "The Star Next Door" featuring Tallulah Bankhead, both the Ricardos and "Miss Bankhead" have Hotpoint washers and dryers...the Ricardos'set clearly seen in the laundry room off the kitchen and "Miss Bankheads" in her garage. Imagine a star like that having to cart laundry out to the unattached garage...in Conneticut yet. I guess that little inconsistency was a tip off they were actually filming in California. People back east don't have laundries out back in a separate garage, do they? |

You know... it's funny how this thread started out as an open invitation for a mini GE/Kenmore wash-in in Long Beach, CA... but then somehow morphed into a discussion about TV shows from the 50's and 60's. So who else will be attending Mike's mini wash-in to help him celebrate arrival of the newest additions to his "family"????? |

While it was a GE night, the Kenmore did a great load of whites. We all just love the medium speed agitation at the 6 minutes to go mark, and of course the timed bleach dispensing at the 4 minutes to go mark. |

Here are the mini baskets: V12, V14 and Versatronic. They got bigger and bigger. Was a lot of fun to watch these do their thing. |

I never knew GE made 3 sizes of mini baskets!! And I grew up in GE Town to boot! What year is that Versatronic it looks like nancy smiths new washer she got around 1962 ish. I was wowed when I first saw it because it had the higher panel controls on the left side and if I remember correctly there were two rows of flip toggles?? I was also wowed by the fact that the whole panel lit up with light!! Is that right that they made a model with two rows of toggles? I even remember the smell of the new tub!! jon |
