Greg, Thats a sweet Set of Whirlys. I do like avocado, always did. Looks like they have the darker shading around the edges, you sure dont get a savvy finish like that anymore. best of luck with them. arthur | ||

Wow what an awesome set! Congrats! I haven't seen a lot of Whirlpools with an infinite water level. Seems like Kenmore put them in more models than WP did. I'm looking forward to hearing what sort of mechanical shape these beauties are in. Incidentally, I have a similar (but slightly lower in the food chain I think) washer (no dryer to go with) that I got from Wisconsin for a site member in Raleigh. It was bought through ebay this summer. It is of the same generation and also Avocado. The intended owner has not been able to get the washer picked-up, so if anyone here is interested, please let me know. I had not intended to keep it and would be glad to see an enthusiast give it a good home. Right now it's hamming it up in storage with my Kenmores and the few WPs I have. Congrats again on the find Gansky! Oh, btw - I loved the Oxydol and Fab back in the day. It would be cool if there is still some scent left in that stuff. Gordon | ||

I'm assuming... ...this is the three speed washer with the lighted controls? | ||

You're lucky
That baby is NOT the water hog, only one cool-down on the combo perma/knits cycle. The double cool-down is such overkill anyhoo. Never use it. Had no idea there was such interest in this incarnation of the WP. I'll have to take some pix of its harvest gold twin. You'll know which is older/younger. I is too dumbe. See you scored a box of hen's teeth. How much for a cup;'D;'D;'D | ||

Great find!!
Very cool old WP Greg! Nice to still be able to find a "set" with the original partner from the early 1970's. That Surgilator will kick up all kinds of suds with that vintage detergent in it. Put at box two in there with a big ass load of towels, and see if you *might* be able to get it to suds lock... lol!! | ||

Wow, Greg! Awesome finds! We will have to hit the estate sales and thrift stores when I visit Omaha one of these days. I can smell the Fab with Lemon Freshened Borax all the way down here in Florida!! That was my favorite detergent as a kid. Have fun =) | ||

Here's another set in Portland, OR!
This looks like an even older set am I right? Wish I could take them but cannot. :-( Hope someone does. They look great! Jon CLICK HERE TO GO TO jons1077's LINK on Portland Craigslist | ||
