I was wondering what vintage appliance would make your holidays complete this year?

A GE V-14 Filter-Flo Washer (with the mini-basket) and the matching GE dryer, in turquoise.

 

I don't ask for much... LOL

Well, since I just got the dryer.....

A 1957, 58, or 59 Kenmore or Lady Kenmore washer would be a handsome addition.

(HINT HINT everybody!)

I would have to say a mint '57 or '58 Kelvinator set, any color.  But I know that's not gonna happen anytime soon. :(

If Santa could throw a harvest gold 1976/77 Lady Kenmore set like my grandmother used to have on his sleigh that would be great.

My top choice is a 1957,58 or 59 GE filter-Flo. I love the pink or sea foam agitator caps and the copper lint filter pan.

A 1966-68 Kenmore Model 800 Alphabet Set in Turquoise, a 1966-67 Lady Kenmore Set in Dorskin (or is it Doreskin), or a 1986-89 Kenmore Limited Edition Direct-Drive Set in Black.

the best present would be any 50's era washer with either a solid tub and a "whole cabinet" outer tub, and or a 50's era machine with an overflow rinse/suds kill portion of the cycle for soap, before the detergent era.. Everything I've got is either 60's 70's perforated tubs built for detergents, or else twin tubs and wringers, I don't have anything in between. Yet......

I just need some elves to come fix this '65 Kenmore washer I have dismantled with no clue as to what I'm doing. Is that too much to ask? =D  I've been fairly good this year. I think ...

Although I don't make a big deal out of Christmas anymore, I guess my requests would be:

1. Finally getting my Thor Automagic repaired.

2. Finding the dishwasher attachment for said Thor.

3. The Monitor 55 -- solid white cabinet machine with electric wringer.

If not those, I'll settle for another addition to my toy washer collection.

I don't have room,

so my desired Christmas gift would be replacement parts for my Cuisinart DLC-10E. (I need the plastic-- workbowl, lid, feed assembly).



However, if I had the room, I'd want a center dial Maytag set, preferably a 608 set.

Well, we're gonna have a sull suite of appliances here in my wish list.  I"m in a coppertone mood right now.  So this is my suite:  A GE Americana hi-low self-cleaning range complete with rotisserie, meat probe,  removable upper oven liners that goes in the lower oven for self-cleaning, and 4-6-8 burner; the largest bottom-mount Frigidaire Fridge ever made; A KDS18 & a Maytag WU504; KA or Maytag batch-feed disposer; and in the laundry prferably an Maytag 806 pair that includes if possible the last of the coppertone dryers that may have the dryness selector and temp 4-buttons to the right of the timer dial,  a 1965 or 1966 (I don't think coppertone was available in 1967) Frigidaire Custom Imperial; a Frigidaire upright freezer and a Lady Kenmore combo right next to the freezer.  Gee I don't want much do I!!!

The exquisite, exotic, very rare 1949 Easy Spindrier with the attached lid (Maytag-style) and bottom filling rinse cone, with glass fronts on the washtub and spinner.

I'd love a sharp Easy Spindrier but really don't have the space for it. Second choice, 1973 Panasonic twintub but best I can tell there's no such thing today.

Know what'd be spiffy AND realistically doable? I've actually seen one on fleabay. A 1952 Ideal spring wound toy dishwasher. Clear plastic tub with hinged lid, removable basket the agitator went around the outside of. Ideal also made a model Maytag wringer, but the reciprocating mechanism tended to fail. The dishwasher mechanism was rotary.

That's easy --a '59  Frigidaire Custom Imperial Washer and Dryer.  I'll make it easy on Santa I won't be fussy any color will do- even white!

If I only had the space-A Kenmore "Pregnant' Roto Swirl,A Norge 1950's Time Line or similar with the Big Black agitator and the shiney metal lint dish.Then the GE Filter flow with the Copper color lint dish.

Two things...

I'd probably want two things...

First, a mid 1960's vintage TOL or MOL GE Filter Flo Washer/Dryer set.. Preferably TOL, but then again, that's just me. When did they start offering the Mini-Basket feature?

Second, probably a Portable Maytag Twin Tub with the Twin Impellers or a Hoover Twin Tub. I've seen the Hoovers with a solid top which allows it to double as a serving table, so it would be a little wife friendly. :)

Actually, come to think of it, either one of these would be awesome. :)

A 1962 Frigidaire Custom Imperial that has been recently overhauled. Maybe the gas dryer that goes with it too.

I'm not too greedy, am I? Well we CAN dream!


Post# 558785 , Reply# 27   11/23/2011 at 13:45 (4,530 days old) by vintagekenmore (Spokane, Washington)        

besides a house with a washer/dryer connection. Probably an early 70s Lady Kenmore washer and dryer or a 1980 model 70 BD Kenmore washer and dryer...and the washer has to have the DA agitator like the one I had to sell when I had to move after my landlady sold the house!

A 1959-65 40" electric Frigidaire range in Mayfair pink. Don't know how long Mayfair pink was offered and if only certain manufacturers offered it, but that would make holiday complete to do all the cooking! Turquois would be my second choice and chocolate my third. Please correct me anyone if I didn't states the colors correctly. I always like to improve my vintage appliance knowledge.

So far for the RANGE:

daveamkrayoguy's profile picture
Yes, a nice glamorous 1950's to 1960's range w/ even a single oven cooking my turkey plus all the other fixin's including dessert all at once!

Pink sort of seems to be the color, though turquoise, especially if it's a double upper/lower oven, and not sure if it should be electric or gas, though gas I think I'd make a 1970's Caloric in harvest gold, 36" wide w/ the upper/lower oven & six burners (even though I think a brand w/ an over-sized middle 5th burner would be better!)...

Might think of more...


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!

Not sure I was good enough this year, but......

if I was, please Santa, I'm still hoping to find my mid-50's Hotpoint dishwasher (like the one in my avatar) with the reversible Roll-R-Rack and the lighted dial at the bottom. White would be sweet but I'd take any color at this point. If it's not too picky of a request already, I'd really love it if you wouldn't try to drag it down my chimney and scratch it all up. Please? Thanks Santa.

Well here is my Christmas wish list

xraytech's profile picture

First and foremost I'd love to get a very nice functioning 1966 TOL GE Filter Flo with suds saver and mini-wash and its matching electric dryer. This is the set my grandmother had until 10 yrs ago(you can refer to my avatar pic for picture) preferrably in white

But if that wasnt possible a nice late 60's MOL-TOL Filter Flo would suffice

 

Secondly I'd love a nice 1978 JCPenney MOL-TOL washer in white to match the 1978 electric dryer

 

Lastly I'd love a great KitchenAid portable dishwasher, a front load model preferrably in white but coppertone or avacado would suffice

Happy Festivus to All of Us!

I truly wish for two things this Holiday season. The first thing I desperately would like is to afford(financially & health-wise)to be able to travel beyond the NYC Metro area to meet & visit with fellow members in the USA or overseas! I do have a valid passport. The second thing I would love is to have a nice 1952-1956 Frigidaire Washer, or one from the late 60's with Rapidry 1000 that is in very good working condition, color unimportant.

Best Wishes for Health, Wealth, and Love during this Holiday Season, and the time to enjoy them all!

Jason

Filter-Flo AGI Cap Colors

Hi Jason!

It was the 1959 Filter-Flo that had a seafoam (turquoise) recirc flume and agitator cap and a copper-plated filter pan. My Mom had a '60 that had the black recirc flume and cap with a plastic filter pan. I remember that one of Mom's friends had a Filter-Flo with a pink cap and the copper pan. She was SOOO amused when I suggested a swap!
