No shipping, no days off, wedding approaching. Why do the good ones always come up at the worst possible times :-( Yes, I want them. But I can't take 2 extra days off to go get them. |

These are close to me so this set is doable. Only a couple of hours to travel for pick-up. Too bad the dryer is gas, but I'm lucky to get any opportunities is this 'burg. |

Aunt Bettie Jean used to have that washing machine!! I envied her. But we had a 1958 Frigidaire, so I was much better off. But at the time, I thought this machine was sooooooo modern and cool!! |

Yes, I did see those when I was there. I had a pair exactly like them once, only my dryer was electric, and I had the matching Combination washer/dryer too, which was gas - all 3 in one laundry room. |

I "saved" the same pair from the Krusher when I first started out collecting. After getting them home and looking under the hood, there was no saving them, they were way too far gone. I beheaded them and sent the rest to their ultimate desinty... I'd love to have this pair, but it appears there are many people going for it...

Tell me more about this modulating burner. Sounds like it woud be akin to the Robershaw modulating (gas) oven-burner mechanical thermostat, where the flame size varied down to minimum bypass flame. For our international friends, a typical gas burner for a dryer today is rated at 22,000 BTU/hr. Each stove-top burner on a cooker (as a size comparison) is 9,000 to 15,000 BTU/hr, with 12,000 being typical. A 12,000 BTU/hr air-conditioner can cool about three to four rooms (depending on climate) and time-of-day. |

Joseph, Do you by chance know what year Whirlpool stopped using this type of burner system? I wonder why they stopped, and went to the common type's that are found now? Brent |

From what I understand, it controls the flame, like the way you control the flame on a gas stove to keep a certain temperature. |

It was I who did the "Buy It Now" and ended it. I got the middle of the line washer from 1963 so this set will go great with it. |

When I looked at it last, there was no buy it now option. What a shocker. |

Yes it was a shocker, I was checking it to see if any bids were on it and there was none, I refreshed to check something else and the "BUY It Now" appeared. It was early afternoon when I checked. |

The last time I looked at the listing was a 11:30 am yesterday and there was no BIN. Twarted again. I guess I'm destined to never own a vintage washer. I'm accepting my destiny. Congratulation and enjoy the set. |

Where the BIN came in, as was totally sure it was not there when I posted the link. Guess sellers really want things O-W-U-T out before they move house. Congrats to the winner, Versatronic,don't think of it as "thwarted", but just wasn't meant to be this time. Something is coming your way, I know it and it is going to be big! L. L. |

Congrats Glenn! beautiful machines. Versatronic, I was pulling for ya man. Maybe Glenn will consider your attempt, play with his new machines awhile, then offer them to you, or perhaps needs to make room for others he may have that will be in the way? Talk to him. You are such a good sport anyway. I just sold a Maytag A806, due to a posting on the club, someone who wanted one real bad and never had one. He is getting it now. Steve |

Thanks Steven and Laundress for the encouragement. Maybe next time. Lightedcontrols did offer to fix me up with an as-is 806 so perhaps I'll try to schedule a road trip to Virginia later this summer. |

Very nice collection of Kenmores. I can remember 25 yrs.ago when a friends mom had that exact LK 800. She always had the detergent measuring cup on the SRS. Those 700's are are also beauties. |
