Great videos! I haven't seen a KM Combo in action since the late '60s.

Awesome Video Jon!

I got the message from your Norge clearly!
Wow! What a Combo play land you have there!
I had no idea you had a Lady Kenmore Combo! Did you get it working, or have to rebuild? I love the color. I just knew it was going to go into high speed spin any minute, then your coffee kicked in and you ran.
Thanks for the video!
Brent

glad you liked it

Robert thank you I could never get it to embed before. I will try that when "Dr. Frigidaire" does his thing next time.

Terry yes it was 1950's Sunbeam Vacuum Coffee from the Glass Beehive model!!!!! And the coffee was 8'0'clock Bokar Blend! Yum! For $8 its cheap for the depression!!



Brent and Gene- that KM combo has been a 16 year work in progress! John Lefever and I have been working on that ever since I hauled it off the Junk Pile here in Chatham in the 80's!

It has had everything done to it and yet it still needs more! But I love it! And I keep giving it more when I have already given up on machines with half the work in them! So I must really like it no?

The wash action, all the dispensors everything about that machine was well executed. All they needed was the Bendix suspension patents!

Excellent!

What a great video. Like Terry, I loved the Bendix going into spin ... the familiar "click", "whirrrrrrrr" brought back memories. Any chance of a Bendix featurette during one of your future coffee-cam sessions ;-)

Washer play land indeed!

Looks like you had a great time doing your laundry. The Kenmore is a beauty!

I feel like the flying nun though going through your basement. I thought I was going to bump my head!

You know your head clears my ceiling! That was good coffee.


Nick-yes as soon as I get two more 220V outlets installed we will have total Bendix madness Saturday!

The only problem with so many machines running is no matter how much laundry I can generate it's all over in 20 miuntes thats one of the reasons I have to tap my flying nun procedures!!

Wow! You could sell tickets to that roller coaster ride!

I do have a question about what is certainly the least exotic of your line-up:

Is the window on your Maytag Neptune a custom job or is it something I can order for my machine?

Thanks,

Marty Kaplan

~it's all over in 20 minutes

European machines have their advantages!

Ofcourse if you dry in a Bendix the fun also lasts longer.

Total madness Saturday sounds great!

well

Louis you have a point!


Martin, the door can be ordered it is the commercial dryer door, I tricked the machine out 5 years ago. Now I need to get in there and get the light to come on.

Oh well, maybe too much coffee and a whole lot of fun. The sound of the LK Combo is so distinctive and of course the sound of a Bendix in full cry is truly vintage music.
Thanks for sharing your good time!

Jon,
I did not know you had labored over the LK Combo for so long!
I just love them, and think they are a rare art form.
Whirpool did all it could do, with there hands tied with patent restrictions to make it work. And they did in many ways.
Happy Combo'ing.
Brent

the Norge has bitten me and I am starting to enjoy that familiar tub sloshing you don't get in a front loader.
Sighhhhhhhh..........

Great Video! Thanks!

Have added this one to my Vintage Appliance Videos collection. Nothing like the sounds of multiple machines of either the same or different makes running at once.--Laundry Shark

Hey Jon, Little wonder....

....you need SO MANY DRYERS to keep up with that rocketing Norge. Gotta love the topsy-turvy shooting.

My head loved twisting round n' round to follow. What fun! The cup of tea currently being drunk, alas, was not so skilled.

Flyin' high on English tea 'e is, that jolly Bloke.

Love a shot of your lighted red, white & blue mega, roto-dialed Bendix in your next whirling Oscar.
