OHMYGOSH ... pay dirt!! Congrats on the super finds!! Lots of projects to do now, huh? The Kelvinator's dial is so cool ... sort of like the Norge Timeline AND it looks like it's a suds-saver model. It also has a light!! | ||

That little GE fish, is it the one with the 1140 rpm spin or the later one that had the "slower" spin. The 1954 AMP, as old as me. I don't know which one is the worse for wear. The Kelvy, congrats Mark. I remember when this was a POD for the first time. I was dying to know what all the things on the control panel were, it has such an ultra-modern looking control panel. You know me and control panel details. Bob!! | ||

That GE looks like the first belt-drive design since it has a removeable lid. IIRC the AW6's had fixed, hinged lids. | ||

The "Dial" lever on the Kelvy is the timer. It's spring-loaded, cranks downward to rotate/set the timer cylinder. Then 'turn' the lever knob to the right (or left, I forget which) for on/off (equivalent to push/pull on a rotary timer). I remember once when Granny was actually using the Kelvy (she still had the 1950s Kenmore and was using both of them), she completely forgot how to turn the Kelvy on, how to turn the lever sideways. She called my dad, and he and I both talked to her, and we had a terrible time getting her to understand how to do it. The timer is a cylinder with cycle markings that move across from left to right as it progresses. The "Cycle" knob (load size) is on upside down. | ||

Wow! What a haul! Can't wait to see some pics of the controls and interiors of the other machines. The Whirlpools with the red agitators are rare indeed. | ||

I've never seen a Kelvinator with a lint filter before! Does it work like a burp-u-lator? I didn't notice a GE-style water feed to it. And since it's a solid tub machine, the suds saver water must return through a hole at the bottom of the tub under the agitator, maybe? Very cool machine! Congrats for all the 'fish' you caught----we won't turn you in for exceeding the limit! :) Gansky--thanks for posting the pic of the '58 Kelvinators. I hadn't seen them before. | ||

I think the filter for that Kelvy is more like a "Splash-a-Lator" than anything else. I don't see how it could have been a very effective lint catcher---certainly not as effective at catching lint as all those little holes in the agitator! | ||
