Please forgive me. I couldn't resist. I know I love the 50s Whirlys and the 60s,even some of the 70s, but I dunno after that. BTW, Rickr, your Whirlpool is fabulous. | ||

A Whirlpool belt drive machine, is what I want next. I would like to have a harvest gold one like we had in the 70's, but I will settle for any color. I really like the models with the plastic cycle dial. | ||

Hey Rickr, could you post some pics of your 50s Whirlpool? It is one of the coolest looking machines on this site! | ||

Thanks for the complement on the WP set. I have to say, that without kindness of other club members,these machines would not be around. Gregm saved the Whirlpool washer years ago. It came from New England somewhere, I forget. And Kenny (Goatfarmer) found the matching dryer a few years later, in a scrap heap. So you see, without these guys checking the scrap piles and hauling them in, these fabulous machines would have been bailed up and shipped to China. Here is a "before" pixs of the dryer, still on Kennys truck.

Very nice rickr!! How do you turn on the different lights? I would say that I like Whirlpool the best when it comes to console design. The way the consoles are slanted and all the chrome makes out for a sexy looking machine. | ||

Poolmore gripes
Pools like Rick's have made me appreciate EARLY Benton Harbor designs. In fact, I never liked either until i started reading threads here and saw pictures of beautiful vintage examples of these machines. The problem for me was and is, that the basic BD design of these machines persisted until the '80's. The washers occupied too big a footprint, did a lousy job of extracting water and, even though the dryers dried clothes well, they were IMHO inconvenient to load and unload, the lint filter was a mess and they always managed to have tiny portholes even though the cabinets were a whopping 29 inches wide. Bad design.
