All, I really feel weird speaking for Robert here, but I think there may be three machines involved. If memory serves me, the unused '57 is an 800 or just a step down from a Lady K. Also if memory serves, the Pink Lady Ks were recently used and shown as such at a gathering/wash-in. It's the white '57 lady that may have the rotted centerpost. It looked like it was ailing in the restoration pics, so my guess is this is the one we're talking about. Please excuse me if I've spoken out of turn or have my facts confused. G |

Not quite, my original 1957 Lady Kenmore from the Abdereen farm which I restored and used for about five years until the pink '57 Lady Kenmore set came along. The farm machine was used for parts to restore the pink Lady Kenmore. Then the centerpost gave way in the Pink '57 LK and it was out of service for about six or nine months. Then brand new 1957 Kenmore 800 came along which I washed about 30 loads in it to throughly make it not really new any more. I took all the brand new parts from the 800 and put them into the pink LK to restore it to brand new condition.

Hi! Did I read this correct,you took the brand spanking new machine and parted it out to repair another? The one that still had the packing supports underneath? |

If thats the case,then watching the video,which was great is like watching The Dark Knight,Heath Ledger and the 800 are dead,what a shame. |
