Hi everyone, I'm back from a very long trek across Canada to pick up these beauties! They were located near Toronto, Ontario but I had them shipped to a friend's in Winnipeg where they awaited my arrival. Here's a preview. They are in very good working condition, only a small timer problem with the washer which is getting attended to this week. Eddy CLICK HERE TO GO TO eddy1210's LINK ![]() |

WoW! Those are real beauties. I wish mine had a console like that! What are the two toggles towards the right of the timer----speed settings? I can't see, the ones to the left are water temp. controls. -Steve |

Well Louis, I actually have 2 complete sets, this and the A-78 from '69. The others I have are singles: the A-49 (your favorite) the A-53, A101 (reversing motor) and a '60 dryer as well. This new set is my pride and joy! Steve, those toggle switches are for wash temp (hot or warm), rinse temp (warm or cold) then agitation time (11-7 or 4-2) and speed (hi-low). The wash time toggle just turns off agitation and creates a "soak" period during the wash cycles so that the total agitation equals that amount. It's a real cool machine. A nice surprise was the lighted timer dial when it's turned on! |

Thanks for the nice remarks everyone. Yes Greg and Mark, the Dryer's controls light up too when it's on. It also has an ozone bulb inside! Bob, the two toggle switches on the dryer are: the left one is for Heat: on (up) or off (bottom). The right toggle is for temperature: high (top) or low (bottom). No auto dry, the timer dings when the load is finished.

Very nice set Eddy! You`ve got to love the control panels with the lighted controls and toggle switches. Have you tried them yet? They really look to be in good condition. Thanks for the pics, Don |
