Ready for some more wash action videos? Well it was a tough decision but I decided to also sell my turquoise 1964 Kenmore washer and dryer set. They are beautiful and work well but I just can’t keep everything and I’m more of a 40’s and 50’s guy anyway. I know there are plenty of belt-drive Whirlpool/Kenmore fans who would just cherish having a beautiful set like this. So below is the link to my next and hopefully last action for a while. I’ve gotten some feedback from a few members who would like to bid on some of this stuff but they don’t feel comfortable having everyone see their eBay screen names if the don’t win. So with that in mind, I decided to make this a private auction which means that whoever bids on the auction their eBay screen name will not be revealed, only their bid amounts. If the winning person wishes to share with the club their new set, that is totally up to them. Anyway, the link to the videos is listed in the auction… CLICK HERE TO GO TO Unimatic1140's LINK on eBay | ||

OH Sweet sounds! I wish I could get those beautiful machines but since I'm moving and all I can't. Did you get the whole cycle on video or can you make one for me? | ||

The sounds of my childhood This is an example of the old-school belt drive kenmores. The whine is higher and the wigag makes a louder sound than the plastic ones from the 80s. | ||

RotoSwirl What'd I tell ya. There's the Frigidaire 3-ring and the Kenmore RotoSwirl, it just doesn't get any better. I'd really like to hear that thing sloshing on low water level. "woo-slosha-woo-slosha... etc." Kenmore is magic. | ||

JasonL, I'm sorry but I already copied over that 8mm tape. Yes, you are correct this machine is early so it just does the fill and drain cool down. and as for you Austin, "I really believe that BD Kenmore machines have a slightly different sound than BD Whirlpools" And I believe there really was a horse in the Stephen’s living room :) Are you including the scrubber cap with the auction? No, the washer was missing the rubber shell to the agitator cap when I found it. Unfortunately I only have one left in my parts collection and I want to save that. I’ve given a few away over the years. | ||

Maybe it's not as high-pitched as I originally thought; I'll fire the '82 up later on because Robert's leading me to believe that the only thing that's "whining" is my head...LOL ;-) | ||

:-( Oh well, I was hoping you'd have the whole thing. Maybe next time. Not boring at all. | ||

Can't get the video clips to play-just get the "Winamp" player-but no playback.Anyone have any ideas how I could see the film clips-want to see it-the machines here remind me of the ones my stepmother had. | ||

35 minutes of joy I remember how the whine got louder as the tub drained and that sudden Whooop (sharply decrease pitch) at the end of the cycle. What a sad sound that was. | ||

A question....... I notice that when the machine goes from drain to spin, there is no pause. It just shifts into spin and starts spinning. The Kenmores I have known usually stop the motor and then kick into spin. | ||
