still seems to be a lot of '60s whirlpools around-one should turn up soon or someone here might have a spare one stashed away they could offer. |

If you can give us a picture as to which design you are looking for, that would be helpful. |

Coincidentally, if you throw the email address "sale-b4fhn-2713457361@craigslist.org " from craigslist into Google, it will find the listing for you.

NO MORE APPLIANCES !
So what was I doing looking in the first place? I couldn't pass them up. They had been in the same house since new. The house sold and the new owners were "remodeling" so out these went. I have the manuals, receipts, etc. from when they were new. I don't have a money shot to post but will take some tomorrow. |

It is definitely getting harder to find these vintage appliances but they are still out there. Usually as others have said they can be found at estate sales and on craigslist but rarely will you find them in a used appliance store unless they specialize in vintage items. I would say just be patient but be persistent in looking online and you will come across something. When I was actively looking I would scan craigslist twice a day. You'd be amazed at what you can find. If you settle for something but it's not what you want, later you may find what you were looking for and then you'll be mad you didn't wait longer. Don't give up!

I am in the process of restoring my 1965 WP pair of TOL, LMA9900s which are very similar looking to yours. Mine are also white but the washer has the Suds-Miser and the dryer is gas. The dryer lint filters were all short at this time on KM & WP dryers as all full sized dryers were the same capacity. But the one interesting thing about our dryers with the super speed setting was that the lint filter was actually an inch wider on these machines than on the less expensive WPs or on any KM models. |

Thanks Peter and John!
That is interesting about the lint filter. I didn't think that all the models at that time would have had the smaller drum but it makes sense now that you mention it. Thanks for the background info on that. John, Do you think the timer control knob was replaced at some point on the washer since it's solid chromed metal amd the dryer timer control is all plastic with a metal cover on the knob? Also one of the little matal covers is missing on one of the dryer knobs. You wouldn't happen to have a spare knob would you? Patrick |

I just found this thread showing pdub's machines that are similar to those I just got a few weeks ago.
Neither my washer or my dryer have a model name like Supreme. CLICK HERE TO GO TO PhilR's LINK |

The under-appreciated (in a world where GE, Kenmore & Maytag rule!) Whirlpool washer thread gets a (another) 'Bump!'...!
And there's the soon-to-be-modified (Hot Rod-ed!) Sapphire Blue... My fav' is in Reply #8, White w/ the push-buttons in a horizontal array; and why did Whirlpool do away w/ separate Speed Controls?
Now what's the ad I often see as P.O.D. doing here?! (Reply # 24)
