Oh my Dear Darlin" Baby Jesus...
That Philco Pair... I'm Verklempt !!!
The ABCs Everything... I have to go to the Fainting Couch now and catch my breath. It's not easy seeing all that at my age. LOL Beautiful Collection. I remember looking at you file when it was here at AW. And I'm speaking for many...Very Envious but delighted that you have saved all these machines. \ Fantastic. Eddie Please be well, and may all good things in life come your way. At one point this summer I did Kelvinate. I never saw more drama except at a Disco Club back in the 80's. If you ever want to "thin", or "relieve " yourselves of any of these magnificent Machines, please let me know ahead of the 15 million members here of AW.org. LOL. | ||

That Custom Imperial Pair
Is the only pair of machines I've ever seen that is in the same styling league with Maytag 906s and the 1966 Lady Ks.
That is the most glamorous agitator I've ever seen on a washing machine; not even Maytag's Powerfin agitator with the chrome lint filter or the Vari-Flexes on Lady Ks can match it. What year do these lovelies hail from? I'm guessing 1966 or 1967. | ||

Just think, many of us are the last of cursive trained and can actually read the panel. With some schools here omitting any writing requirement, you wonder if one day, on a Mark Museum tour(ok, somewhere in W-D Heaven) there will be this comment, "What does it say above 'two cycle two speed'?" There are many design hints here that present retro-influencing ideas. Oh and stop showing off these heart-stopping show pieces...it's adding to the lust that goes bust in a fuss. :-) Awesome eye-candy...ditto all the above statements.

Mark, they all shine like brand new. The "Contour Fill" plus the chrome just makes me happy! Thank You! Arthur | ||

I believe those date to the 1965 model year. I have a sales brochure that dates to 1965 and those machines are featured. And if I recall, the original owner of Mark's set posted pictures and had the "in service date" of 1/3/66 written on the use and care guide. | ||

Ohhhh Angus could you post the sales lit on those machines?! I have always wondered about the features and how they were marketed. My aunt had the next model down an Imperial that was from 1966 or so. I remember it had a speed knob that was numbered 1,2,3,4 and a temp knob the same way. That washer lasted until 1977 and then she bought a Whirlpool washer. I always loved the Philco washer she had and all it needed was a new motor. The mechanicals of the washer were still good and so was the agitator before it went to the dump. Such a waste.
