![]() Just got back from an overnight trip to southern Indiana to help my best friend set the posts for his new deck. It was 95 in the shade ... and I got a little red and sunburned around the edges ... but the hard labor was good for our souls.
On a much brighter note, I did get to play with the three machines I bought a few months back ... that are currently stored in his garage. The first is a 1956 Whirlpool Supreme that came from Louisville. Sarah (as she is now named) lights up ... but just hums a nice tune when she should be agitating or spinning. Alas, another gal that will require some attention up under her skirt. The second is a 1952 Kenmore flat top sud saver washer ... now named Karen. She is a little workhorse ... and did all she was supposed to do when plugged in (though I did have to manually advance the timer ... which will be an easy fix when I have time). I can't wait to do a frothy suds return with her. The final machine is the Lovely 1959/50 Lady Kenmore Combo. I'll be calling her Linda after the super nice lady that sold her to me. She looks to be in pristine condition and I was told she works beautifully ... but I did not have a 220 outlet to give her a go. Maybe when they all make the final move to Michigan in July I'll be able to fire her up! I'll try and post some more pics soon ... need to nap.

![]() That Whirlpool is amazing... I've never seen anything like it. That control panel doesn't even look real... I love the little Kenmore, too.
That Lady Kenmore looks like a TANK. Maybe it's the rectangular window, but it looks like a MEGA STOVE to me... Like it should be all appliances in one: Washer, dryer, dishes and bake a cake all at once. Still, what a find. I'm not much for combos, but wow... nice collection. I'm green with envy. | ||
