When I was out in MD, I took some pics of appliances that John would like to sell to make room in the warehouse. I'm posting them for John L. / Combo52 (combo52@mac.com) so you will able to get more information and discuss the details with him directly.

Let's start with a Kenmore Wringer washer - sorry I don't have a picture of the whole machine, it is a Visi-Matic wringer though and looks to be from the mid-60's and in nice condition for it's age.

$50/OBO

Now we have a Speed Queen wringer washer, one of the last ones made in the early to mid 80's. This was just removed from a customer's home, still being used for the regular washing. (replaced by a SQ front-load for the curious cats ;-)

$100/OBO

Now, a Frigidaire Skinny-Mini. 70's vintage, Syncro-Swing mechanism. This needs a washer timer, but John thinks he has that on hand and will sell it for $350/OBO fully operational or less if you want the project.

MAYTAG A3MP

Maytag A3MP washer. Dials on top, needs some work on the top panel (many were affected by rust this way) but thought to be working. As is. $200/OBO (sorry, money shot is all I have of this one too)

This is rare - an under-counter GE combo washer/dryer up for sale. Machine is very restorable but will need main bearing replacement for certain. Great project machine and a great price for a super-fun washer! $150/OBO

1966 Whirlpool Dryer

Very nice dryer - fully rebuilt. Needs some minor cosmetic work but is the rare Doeskin color. John has the correct timer dial for this machine and it will be included.

Finally, we have a beautiful pink Whirlpool washer. This is one of two that John has so if someone is trying to make a matched set of this model, get in touch with him. He's not tested this machine to it's probably safe to assume it needs some restoration work. No price has been set on this one, shoot an email to him if you'd like more information.

WOW! That pink Whirly is a beaut! What year is that? I am going to guess 1960??

Too bad that I have not room either. One can never have too many classic belt drives though. I would LOVE to restore that machine. The "summer home" is calling me however.

Thanks for posting the pixs Greg.

I guess we now know where Maytag got its clam shell console design from for their 06-09 series washers/dryers.

Why does everything always have to be so damn far away? If I were closer I'd love to have that AMP.

another "childhood" memory

twintubdexter's profile picture
I remember several of those Whirlpool washers. Most of the time all they needed was a pump or a new wig/wag solenoid. But the store didn't like them on the used sales floor because of their complex (and costly to replace) timers. A lot of the Lady Kenmores were like that too, a timer that selected everything but the water level (and sometimes that too) with a zillion wires on it. They sure were nice machines, especially when the matching dryer was traded in too.

That pink Whirlpool is unique for sure, and it seems to have all of the bells and whistles. I love how it has the Maytagesque shape to the console, and the numeric version of Kenmore alphabet dialing system. I wonder if this timer click stopped too, or was that exclusive to Kenmore. The lid handle sure is long. I am betting this is a 1960 washer, or perhaps 1959? I would not be surprised if this was the top Whirlpool that year whichever one it is.

Have a good one,
James

Skinny Minny

I am looking for a skinny minny to torture- not an agit-tub, but one of the frigidaire built things- do you have any of those laying around to give away?

That Whirlpool washer in question is from 1960.

70Series, yes, that RCA Whirlpool has a Lady Kenmore-esque locking timer. I remember seeing this machine at the 2002 convention and asking, as I did not know that type of timer was ever used on Whirlpool branded machines. Funny how automatic washing was so automatic 50 years ago, and now you have to make all the decisions yourself! Sigh.

I'm pretty sure a Mark VII would have been their top of line, and it looks like they introduced the self cleaning style filter later than Kenmore.

Some of these still need homes or they get crushed! There will be a video of all the action.

Thanks Scott:

I agree. It seems like features on today's washers are not what they were on those of yesteryear. Good thing this club exists.

Have a good one,
James
