There is a craigslist ad for a '55 Kenmore washer and a Tappan stove in the Houston area. I e-mailed the seller to see what he meant by "needs minor work" and he replied that there was a short in the power cord. If he held the cord in a certain position, it worked fine. He took the cord off to replace and never got back to it. I sent another e-mail to feel him out about the price he is hoping to get, waiting for a reply.
Can anyone tell me what a fair price to offer would be? I might try to get this, but if anyone else wants it, go for it - I've got enough projects to do around here! CLICK HERE TO GO TO 58limited's LINK on Houston Craigslist This post was last edited 10/03/2012 at 19:34 |

In upstate New York had the matching dryer. In fact it's still there in the barn next to her Speed Queen wringer washer. |

Confused...
Ok Mom & Dad had a set like this white background, gold letters, neighbors had a set black/dark grey background gold letters, which I think denoted different model years but I have not seen one like this with white background gold letters and a black/dark grey frog eye? Does this denote another model year? |
