almost but not quite Hi tuthill, Thank you for the welcome. That machine almost does it, however it does not have the console light though. | ||

I have a very similar Whirlpool - 1969 model, same color, console light, six water levels, I believe it to be a Supreme 70 or an Imperial. I am running off to a 10am meeting, but when I get back I'll check my computer and see if I have any pictures to provide, otherwise I'll try to get one at lunch today. It's in working order, just needs TLC cleaning. It does not have the woodgrain panel. I would love for you to have it if it would make you happy. Gordon | ||

Gordon, does the Supreme 70 of this vintage have the brush type filter? The console lights on Whirlpools are great, especially the arched ones like the Imperial Mark XII pictured above. Have a good one, James | ||

Supremewhirlpol - I paid $40 for the washer on ebay last year. The person I got it for never picked it up. I'd like to recoup my investment, that's all. As for shipping, you may want to look at shipping options with Craters and Freighters, You Crate, or some individuals. Look at UShip.com - they have moved a number of items for me at a low price. James - This machine has a self-cleaning filter IIRC. The Imperial Mark XII (top picture) is slated to become a club member's at some point next month or so. I presume we'll be learning more about that baby later this year. My source in Arizona has it stashed away with my name on it, and we're going to go out there on an adventure to grab it. Gordon | ||

Rusty Baseplate, Centerpost, and Outer Tub I have seen much worse, the base-plate can be stripped and painted in a variety of ways to save it, likewise with the center post if it is not too deeply pitted. If the CP is deeply pitted you can get a thin Stainless Tube sized to slide over the old rusty CP and weld it at the bottom and you will never have to worry about it rusting again.
The outer tub needs to be really striped and cleaned to assess what how to preserve and protect it, but again there are several ways to do this.
It may be possible to find better used parts, but unfortunately it is probably easier to just fix these since they are not beyond saving. | ||
