WOW! Someone took good care of them. I bet they need minor repair. Great find! Beautiful examples of my favorite brand. | ||

KM/WP transmition braces
I wonder if the braces were added as the capacity was increased Jimmy? A more powerful motor,and the increased fill height were the the only other changes that I know of. BTW: I swapped out the pressure switch in the 56 WP for a higher fill,and will do the same thing for the 56 KM I am working on now. The originals cannot be adjusted high enough. I have to have the tub FULL on my machines! No water shortage around here.... LOL!!

Fantastic!!! I am so horrified that they were almost crushed. It's like wheeling your old granny to the cemetery and leaving her there in her wheelchair, or something. | ||

Dryers need love too... Fantastic save! Could you please tell me more about the dryer; gas or electric. And perhaps some close-ups of its controls, panel, inside, etc. Thanks and congrats. | ||

What would be the best way to touch up the chipped porcelain top? That touch up paint the appliance stores sell?

Those mean old truck drivers They wouldn't like it if someone shoved them off a truck bed. Now you know how those poor appliances feel. | ||

How about a colour change??
Dwight, I had a little extra time this morning, so to Photoshop I went. I have been telling Greg that his set would look great turquoise,and he keep saying "pink" So here is his machine in turquoise. As long as the paint has been damaged anyway, and your new set is so perfect anyway... I would go for it and have these redone on turquoise. I just think they would be fantastic in that colour!

Nice finds Dwight, congrats!!! Judging by the picture of the underside, the washer is a suds-saver model. Interesting that you mention the lint bag...was it just the 1959 models with the lint storage system? | ||
