Oh Jeff......RISK IT!!!!
Jeff, When I moved to Dimondale/Holt with idiot Corey back in 2000, this is the exact set that I had in white. They came in to the store as a "trade" with literally NOTHING wrong with them. I had to replace the belt, the hoses, the lamps on the washer, and a new belt and cord on the dryer, and later still all the lamps got done as well. I traded these around 2002 ( READ: STUPIDLY) for a set of Maytag 806's that weren't nearly as cool because they had a larger capacity, and yet again idiot talked me out of them, because the dryer started taking a little longer than it did previously to dry. Jeff, you and Michael should run to get them...I know were not as close as we used to be...but I can promise that you will NEVER regret EVER getting them, as they are IMHO the living end of 1960's Kenmore-Whirlpool ingenuity.... Go man..... Chad | ||

Agitator orig?
I do have one minor thing....to add... Is that agitator original to the machine? Maybe It's been that long but I remember the agitator being white...??? Wait, never mind... on further thought in the "wayback machine"...the original was a squash orange color, and I changed it to a newer white Surgilator because I thought that it made it wash better. And It gave me two different kinds of agitators to play with... yeesh I'm only 30....is my memory "that" bad? Chad | ||

Look like 1965's to me. Just need a scrubber cap for that agitator and take care not to break those (by now very brittle) option buttons!. They look to be in great condition and are easy machines to restore anyway. IMO those were the very best dryers ever. | ||

Honestly... Such paranoia
Just go get these, if someone is close to this location and has a home for them! If you show respect to the people that live around there, they will show you respect in return. If you act afraid of the people there, it will piss them off. And rightly so. I would go for these myself, but I own them in the 800 Series. I bought these for $10.00 at a church sale and spent close to $1000.00 on the restorations in 2003. The Lady K's will make someone a nice set.

Nice set of 65 Lady Ks. It looks like the scrubber on the Rotoflex agitator was replaced with a standard black cap. They look to be in perfect condition. Whoever had them, took care of them. Have a good one, James | ||

Yup
This seems to happen everytime I find a machine on Craigslist. There's another person on here who did the same thing. He posted two never-used Kenmores on Craigslist. I posted about it on here and, all of the sudden, they want at least $1,000 for something that had little worth to them before. I noticed they are back on Craigslist again too several months later. Really too bad. Jon | ||

Hey Jon keep up the good work with these posts, I for one am happy someone is on top of this. About half of the machines I own came from other states and involved shipping but it was worth it. | ||

Situation 1: Person is trying to sell a machine on Craigslist for $50. Someone (possibly from this site) emails him and says "Wow, that's a great machine. You should check out automaticwasher.org. Someone there would LOVE to get their hands on that one! Seller checks out website and suddenly decides he should raise his price to $500. Situation 2: An auction on eBay is offering some pastel colored washer/dryer set. People start emailing seller about auction, claiming that is their "dream set", and "what I wouldn't give to have that". Of course these comments show up at the bottom of the auction and anyone that reads them now thinks there's a goldmine in their basement. Remember the $2K Maytag set? All this attention given the sellers only makes them think they have something that is worth more than it is. There's nothing wrong with alerting us when there's something interesting on Craigslist or eBay that one of us may be interested in. The issue is when people start emailing the sellers, drooling all over the place, even if you have no intention of buying it anyway. Just leave the sellers alone and let the person who is serious about the purchase deal with them. | ||

I love you, Jon
You are one of the best Gentlemen we have. You're kind to everyone. Because of what you and Laundress do, two rare, and long longed-for, machines came my way, very inexpensively. I just shook my head in disbelief at how the best people get attacked while the worst are never challenged. And while I was itching to go after the rude queen, I was afraid to because now that Robert is closing down Automatic Washer, we'll all have no where to go but Vacuumland, hoping that wonderful Fred will welcome us there. You're the best, Jon, and I'm not alone in thinking so. Giant warm bear hugs to you, my friend. Mike | ||

Thanks so much for the kind words! Because of you I got a really cool mini-basket for my machine. That was so very nice of you! So which machines did you get? You know I sit around so bored all the time and I see thousands of them all over the world. Which ones did you get? :-) Believe me it does make me feel good to help someone out! Jon | ||

Pumper, read the PAY DIRT thread
Jon, A mint Hoover Twintub never used with minimal rust on the cabinet and a Glorious Norge Behemoth Semi-automatic Wringer, also never used. And you know what else you're getting: a fabric softener dispenser for your turquoise/green GE.--just because I want you to have it. Also, the truth is painful: I rarely use it, I know how much you wanted it, and it WILL fit; I checked. | ||

Good news on the dispenser...I just got one this weekend! I went to Mark's warehouse and he had a couple of them. I bought a few other great parts too. Thanks so much for thinking of me though! That's really sweet! So hang onto that dispenser because, even though you may not use it, it's still nice to have all the parts. By the way, I did see a Hoover portable dryer in the warehouse in coppertone. I don't know if it's Mark's or not or if it's even for sale, but you may check that out. I may be going back there in a few weeks to pick up a few more things so if you need it let me know. Jon | ||

I sent the guy an email after his post above, and recieved no response. I suspect these machines will not just be set out in the alley like the ad said. I'd just like to kn ow how he got tipped off to this site. | ||

Another thought I had...
This might be a good reason to think about a membership fee for this site. I bet even a $5 or $10 fee would stop alot of this from happening. I know on several occasions I've seen this happen. Someone has old machine for sale that they think is worthless; someone tips them off or they find the site; price goes way up and we get taken advantage of. Maybe it's not that big a deal but it does make me pretty angry when I stew on it for a while. It's just bad business to do that to people. Sorry...thanks for listening to me. Jon | ||

As Toggle Would Say -
You can't screw me unless I lay down first. Some people have lots of nerve, shopping their old tat around here as if we all just fell off the turnip truck. Suddenly their rusted, clapped out stuff is worth $$$ because they stumbled onto this site. Well, let it said right now, we're not sitting around here waiting to be taken by every schnook with a smooth line and or sad tale of woe and misery. | ||

Well, let it said right now, we're not sitting around here waiting to be taken by every schnook with a smooth line and or sad tale of woe and misery. Wow I haven't even looked at this thread before. But now that I have I should probably delete it. But first let me say I agree with what laundress said, so guys my advice here is to let this 1965 Kenmore set go to the crusher, we've seen quite a few 1965 LK's over the past few years anyway. Don't be taken to the cleaners and don't condone this kind of behavior. and don't insult our fabulous members! | ||
