Sorry it has taken so long to get these, but here they are! The Laundry guide pops up and is illuminated by a 15w bulb that I changed to a 25w bulb! Mark |

Pop up guides! Clothes hangers! Lights on everything. Awesome machines. Curious, were these made my Whirlpool, and if so, did WP have similar models under their own brand? |

Mark those are just beautiful! Congratulations, there are a lot of similarities between the 1957 set and the 1958 set and yet many differences as well. I never knew the '58 set had a fabric softener cup that flipped over. Looking forward to some action shots, then I think we need a special Lady Kenmore Photo album, I will try and work on that soon.

Congratulations Mark, those are beauties. There is indeed a comparible Whirlpool. As a matter of fact there is even a promotional movie about it. It's in the Prelinger Archives. The link will bring you there.

Only this time no smelling salts, went straight for the gin! What a great set! WEll DONE! Am so happy a member rescued these units and that they will soon get the "spa" treatment. Love the clothes hanger rack for the dryer, how nice of someone to think of almost every single thing to make Mrs. June Cleaver's laundry day so easy. L. |

It looks like someone took very good care of these machines. I hope that it doesn't take too much time or effort to get them up and running again. They're stunning. Thanks for sharing. Mike |

Beautiful, Robert! How does the timer work on the washer? Is the timeline moved by the rotary dial as on Robert's easy? Les |

I think the agitation control is interesting. This is the first kenmore I'm ever seen with that feature. Usually the spped is incorporated into the cycle timer control. These are truly beautiful machines! Les |
