I have always been interested in machinery and especially washing machines. My mom said the first word's out of my mouth were "fin fin" for "spin spin" She said I loved the washing machine. I somehow stumbled upon this page and realized I want to start a new hobby of collecing/restoring these vintage washing machines. I remember my Grandma and Mom both had 70's model Kenmore belt drive machines and I want that to be first. Since I am just starting this project and have a lot to learn I hope to find one that is in still pretty good condition that just needs minimal repair so I can get my feet wet so to speak. If anyone runs across a 70's or even 80's belt drive Kenmore that isnt more than a day's drive from Little Rock, please let me know! Thanks!

If you can swing a drive to Charlotte, I have a great many of these that could use a good home. Some models I would like to keep, but I have many late 70s/early 80s Kenmores and Whirlpools that I surely don't need. In a couple cases, I have duplicates of some popular models.
We can get you something running properly before you leave if you can come here to get it. Just a thought. Gordon |
