They didn't include a picture, but the asking price is pretty darn reasonable! CLICK HERE TO GO TO turquoisedude's LINK on Albany Craigslist |

WOW!
Don't I remember the seller of the $1999 set from eBay on here a few weeks back justifying his price because film production companies wanted them, etc.? If so, the 200-bucks is a good deal to have both for collection purposes AND as a source of income in film work!! Sounds like these would pay for themselves either way in no time! Gordon |

Gordon----your Icon picture, 60's Kenmore, looks EXACTLY like Mom's from my early childhood, I've never seen any other remind me so vividly. What year? Better Pics? But I also remember a cheap plastic measuring cup that covered the agitator top when not in use for scrubbing---my memories are over 45 years old now! Any model number on that old machine?
Thanks |

He sold them to a movie company who bought them without so much a wink. You might have missed his post explaining justifications of cost.
This goes to show, you cannot judge a book by its cover, there is a reason for everything. He seemed to be straight-forward enough and I at least believed him. Good for him, standing his ground, and getting what he wants I say. |

Akronman -
Not to hijack the thread, but the washer is a 1961 Kenmore 70 series. I have better pics in my photo album which you can access from the main screen/page. When I got mine (I think it was 2009) I hadn't seen one since 1974 when ours rolled down the driveway on it's side :-( in the back of a hauler's pickup after Sears sent him out after delivery of our 1974 replacement washer. Ever since that day, when I learned that getting something new can often have a bitter side, I try to enjoy the current stuff vs. always looking toward something new. I always wanted a new Kenmore as a kid, especially when in the stores, but I never considered what would happen to the old one.... Gordon |
