Very nice machine, I had a chance to play with one once. Really wish I would have been able to afford to buy it at the time!
Anyway..........
Question: The ad claims 14 different cycles, yet the controls look to only give you 12.
How do you access or program cycles #13 (Super Wash-cold) & #14 (Super Wash-warm)?
Does this system allow pressing two switches at once to get these extra cycles?
Thanks, Kevin

The POD is definitely a 1960 Lady K. I believe it worked this way:
1. Engage the Super Wash button followed immediately by the main cycle of your choice. Washer will automatically advance to the main wash cycle following the prewash. 2. The machine has a liquid-only detergent dispenser which dispenses the contents at the beginning of the main wash cycle. You could use Tide powder for the prewash, then Wisk for the main wash. Our Model 80 had the same 12 cycles without the self-cleaning filter, detergent dispenser, or Super Wash options. Quite a bells-and-whistles washer for its day. Stunningly stylish, to boot!

1) A pic full pic of the top & console. 2) Details on Super Wash. Liquid Detergent toggle has positions for dispensing 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 oz., or M for manual (2 oz. each press). Fabric Conditioner has 4, 2, or 0 oz. | ||
