Here are some random shots at the warehouse this weekend while John and Smitty were working on the stairs and lighting. Of course work was involved so I was nowhere to be found.

The Yellow Whirlpool makes my knees knock. In a good way.

Oh W O W !!!!

A Kenmore 518, yes that's the first large capacity Kenmore. Holy moly (or as Radar on M*A*S*H said, "Holy Socks!").

If there isn't already a lengthy line or if it's even available, put my name on the list please! Wow would like to work on that machine. It's only the second one I've ever seen.

Kelly - I'm with ya on the yellow Whirlpool. AWESOME. Never seen a Cadet Blue GE range before.

Jason/John - tell Smitty I found a '59 Imperial for sale. Have him send me an email if he'd like some photos.

Round Shouldered

Gordon, thank you for pointing out the Kenmore. At first glance I wrote it off as a straight vane. I remember seeing the large capacity washer in the catalogue around 66 with the round shouldered agitator but never saw one in real life. If you have the good fortune to end up with it, I'd love to see and hear it run.

Very nice! Do I spy a Blue Whirly?I never seen a blue Whirlpool before, My favorite color. The electromic Kenmores are cool to with the oven window type door on the dryer. Keep up the good work ;)

What a Great Collection of equipment! I just wish I had some more room, I would love to pick up something new to have. But I don't want to get rid of what I have as I enjoy it.

Lovely stuff! I didnt know 24" belt drives went back that far. And the cadet blue is stunning. When can we all come visit?

Nice variety

Sure would like to see your warehouse whenever I get back to that area. My favorites are the GE range in Cadet Blue, and the blue Whirlpool washer. It looks to be their "Edged Sapphire" color, which was available for only a short time in the late 60's. The yellow WP washer is also nice.

The blue Whirlpool looks interesting. First time I have seen a washer in this color. The black set looks interesting too, I assume it is a Kenmore set? Love the dryer with the window.

Louis--

The black Frankenmore pair (Jason's) visited with me for a while. They are very nice and Jason tchotchked 'em up---the dryer with a window door.

The Blue Whirly looks even better in person. What a beautiful color.

The Black Lady is unmodified. The Black lady dryer is well, as Steve said, Frankenmore. The windowed door is from a Kitchenaid. At the time I built that dryer you could still get all the parts from WPL. A few years ago I tried to get the parts to build another one and everything was NLA.

has survived the trip from Ted's to the warehouse for evaluation.

Very eager to see what cycle gems hide behind those buttons. Comforting to know it's in good hands.

I don't know what is happening to these people Louis. It might be fumes from the Tide HE.

Is that Black Kenmore set for sale?...I'd be interested

Technically no. But I would sell anything for the right price. That washer is truly like new. Not a speck of rust anywhere, on anything. It does have a brand new outer tub. There was one small spot where the porcelain failed so I just bought a new tub while it was still available. I may have been the one to deplete the supply from WPL. LOL It has a new inlet valve and control board too.
So make me an offer I can't refuse.

The dryer on the other hand is not worth much at all. It works great but does not look good by any stretch of the imagination. If the dryer were to go anywhere the windowed door would come off.

Let me think about it.....now I love the window on the door, but not important...

this would be a great option for my one laundry room, when you come up my walkway of the house, there are picture windows that look into the rooms of the lower level basement, the other rooms are "staged" with furnishings and lighting to show them off, but I needed something for the laundry room, all my working machines are on the outter wall under the window, out of sight, all I would currently use these for would be just to plug in and light the room at night, and the black would stand out if I dummied up the wall with maybe white cabinets....so the window in the dryer would not be necessary....

but just the same....give me a price of what your looking to get out of these...it would be easier than insulting you which I don't want to do.....Thanks

Wow what an awesome assembly of washers in that warehouse, and thanks for sharing with us. That 518 Kenmore looks like it has seen moderate use. Gordon, if you get that, and I hope you do, I hope it will be easy to work on.

That 24 inch Kenmore is a rare model too. I am not sure of the year but that has got to be the same as the one that was in JasonL's video of the 2002 Annual Convention. Hopefully that one is in decent condition, and will be snagged soon.

Have a good one,
James

I think he slipped on the floor and hit his head from all those suds billowing out onto the basement floor and causing him to fall.
