All I can say is the seller will probably shit their pants after this auction! And since they sold their washer and dryer, they will be stuck with dirty laundry! WOW, these are amazing! I bet their all porcelain like my '57 LK Set. The dryer is fantastic if you hook it up to a 50AMP line, its super fast, I love mine. | ||

...lid opens to the right; Westy, What's the big deal about that? My 1979 KM's lid does too because the washer sits on the right. Okay, so I drilled a couple a holes, repositioned the lid and bypassed the switch! lol! | ||

I thought all Kenmore filters were on the right side of the tub, too. But I don't think the photo is reversed, because the snubber is on the back right side of the tub where it should be. Nor is the K on the agitator cap backwards. Also, the lid opens to the right, which is the opposite of most Kenmores. Interesting! And beautiful. | ||

Yup. Whirly has been building automatics for Sears since Sears first automatic introduced in 1947 and still going strong today. I think the WP/ Sears relationship goes back to the late 19-teens-early 20's. | ||

Nope, here's the deal
The Filter is on the left because it's actually NOT a lint filter cartridge. It's the chrome covered return port for the brand new "Self-Cleaning" lint-filter, Kenmore's first. For a year or two after Kenmore introduced their self-cleaning filter (and we know now that it's not the first self-cleaning filter) they returned to filtered water back into the wash tub directly through a port on the cabinet side. Then they did away with that and returned it directly into the outer tub for years to come. | ||

need the smelling salts also!....
My best friend's Mom had a '59 all push-button with rapid advance timer! I didn't know what one would call that 'rat tat tat tat' sound it made as the timer moved to the cycle his Mom would select. Alas it was traded b/c of a blown water pump in 1970 for a solid-tub SQ. Does John have pics of his '59 posted? What a trip down memory lane that w/b!

Those are all really great looking washers!
And I know some guys don't like Kenmore machines because of the slower spin speed,and neutral drain. But you really have to admit,Kenmore had some VERY nice looking machines in the 1950's and 1960's. Their control panels were some of the best looking of them all IMO. Wonder who designed those panels? Anyone know the story?

&Seeing John's '59 LK makes me want to kick myself again for getting rid of my yellow one. Having grown up with a '60 Model 80 (same type of pushbuttons as the '59), I just didn't think it was all that special. And yes, both machines suds-locked all the time. I've never seen the '60 LK in person, just in the above photo. If only my parents had sprung one model up in the line. Sigh. The only difference in cycles between the '59 LK and the '60 Model 80 were these: 1) The white SPECIALS button had COLD WATER WASH on top and RINSE SPIN on the bottom. (The '59 had no rinse/spin cycle) 2) The pink SPECIALS button had WASHABLE WOOLENS on top and SPIN ONLY on the bottom. There was no control for the console/tub lights on the '60. The light came on at the beginning of the cycle and went off at the end. When I had my '59 LK, I used to turn off the lights in my windowless laundry room and load by the light of the w & d consoles and the tub light. Sigh, again... There is also a TOGGLESWITCH (Hi Tog!) on the right (I think) side of the console on both the '59 and '60 that adjusted the medium water temps to warm, and the warm water temps to cold (including rinses). AND, if I recall correctly, I believe the Light Soil Delicates cycle and the Washable Woolens cycles were identical. Warm wash/rinse, 2 minutes agitation, slow spins. | ||

I did not realize it was a "timeline" style machine! It reminds me a lot of my great aunt's RCA Whirlpool timeline machine, which I think was also from about 1958. | ||

Have a side bet on "Fifiesfan" being the snipper winner. He seems to have a knack for it and this set seems up his street. Seller must be besides themselves, bet they never dreamed the set would go for over one thousand. Has anyone been able to get the "story" behind these beauties? Are they the sellers? Did he/she pick them up off the street? Launderess | ||

I'm about to bust to see some clearer, closer pics of the control panels. That timeline is awesome! Wish I could read more clearly the cycles on it. This must have been the last model before the scrubber cap was introduced on the 59. I hope someone in this group wins them! | ||

Mark, Well done! Who was the second highest bidder? Was it a member? Glad also to see these beauties going to a place where they will be well taken care of, and treasured. Too many people doing "vintage" think they want vintage appliances not having clue what they are getting into. When they get a vintage item, then find out it needs work/repairs that cannot be done off the shelf it is highly likely the poor item goes off to the krusher. Launderess | ||

One has to remember eBay's bidding system will cancel out lower bids if a higher amount was pre-set by another bidder. Mark's bid was placed with almost over a minute left to the auction. The second highest bidder it seems kept "testing" the waters to outbid Mark, but could'nt get where they needed to be. In situations like this if one REALLY wishes an item it is best to push the boat out and bid the absolute maximum amount (without having to sell one's first born to raise the funds), is prepared to pay. Of course if the higher bidder has already entered a pretty dear amount already, things can get very interesting. In such instances one is actually bidding against eBay's computers who will enter automatic bids almost instantly. This leave a person doing manual "sniping" with only seconds to regroup and bid again. Have seen people try to outbid a higher bid already placed with something like 5 seconds left to the auction. Only to loose when eBay's computers did what they were programmed to do. With fast Internet connections becoming more and common, it does seem so much action is taking place with less than one minute left to auction end. Smart money used to say just enter one's highest bid early and leave it at that. But that does leave one open to someone coming along and bidding the item up without any intention of winning. This is hard to prove but still happens. | ||

It's Over
Job well done L. Congrats. Mark - Now call MS. Belknap and tell her what you did! (Private Joke) This is a great lesson folks. Find a local dealer/junk shop and keep looking. They will have some machines that you'd wished you'd payed $150.00 for. Irony, what is still available is still obtainable. Love, Steve | ||
