Thanks everyone! It's been a busy day, but I had a moment to plug the set in and see what worked, and what didn't work.
Good news - both rapid advance mechanisms work! The only issue I could find so far is the washer timer motor seems to be dead, but I'll do a full inspection later this week. I'll hopefullly post some more photos in the next day or two, but until then.... CLICK HERE TO GO TO swestoyz's LINK | ||

1959 LKMs Yes this washer would have come with the original style Self-Cleaning Lint Filter where the housing was made of cast pot-metal and it was filled with glass marbles that were about 3/8" in diameter. When the washer was washing you would occasionally here a stray marble roiling around tying to find a spot to settle into, but the real fun happened when the pump switched pumping direction and you could hear all the marbles racing around inside the metal housing.
This style filter was introduced on the 1958 LKM and it stayed in a metal housing until 1964 when it was changed to nylon with little plastic pellets. Some of these original metal filters would get pin-holes corroded in them or the insides would get so rough from corrosion that they would clog and get replaced and the replacement was the more durable Nylon filter. | ||

A few things:
1) The pair seem to have had little use! They're in great shape. Thanks for taking time to put up video so quickly. 2) The never-used '59 Lady K washer I brought home from the scrap heap in the early 1990's worked perfectly, save for the rapid advance, which was a bit slow and labored-sounding. Probably needed lubricating. The cycle missing from the '59 (as compared to the '60 Model 80 I grew up with) is Rinse & Spin. In its place is a "Light" button, so you can turn on the console and tub lights before starting the washer. The lights came on at the start of a cycle, then shut off at the end on the Model 80. You couldn't have the lights on if the machine wasn't on. The ultraviolet light even worked on my '59. It gives a day-glo effect to the suds during wash cycle. 3) The Model 80 dryer didn't have "heavy" and "normal" settings on each button. You simply had Normal, Wash 'n' Wear, Delicate, Air Dry, and Damp Dry. A dryness level control was housed in the console, next to the bottle of fragrance. The Model 80 didn't have a rapid advance set-up, as did the '59. The dryer simply started when you pressed the cycle button. The '59's cycle set up took me by surprise, as I was never able to plug in my '59 dryer. It was electric, and I had only a gas hookup in the warehouse apartment. So I learned something new, today! 4) As John mentioned, you can hear the "marbles" in the lint filter bounce around at the beginning of the drain cycle, which is great fun. Fortunately, you still get the waterfall into the tub, although it's located on the left, rather than right side (compared to the Model 80). 5) Don't put today's thick fabric softeners in the reservoir! It was meant for the thinner Sta-Puf-style softeners. Learned that one the hard way, LOL. 6) I'm jealous, Ben. Very, very jealous! What great finds. This post was last edited 04/28/2013 at 21:09 | ||

A TOL turn of the Decade Lady K
A Push Button Rapid Advance Timer
A movie first, with multiple demonstrations of the Rapid Advance In alluring Pink A working suds-saver A video demo of the Sud-Return struggling back to life dry. IT WORKS !!! Are I dreaming, or as Chris Farley famously said: THAT is what you would call...... a .......HOAX......? When you get her wet, the suds valve will be clanging like a church bell. Love all the sliders switches. So over-the-top- cool. Did I miss the story about how you found these and their history? Please tell or re-direct The Senator from Iowa strikes again. Thank you, Ben, the envy of Automatic Washer. | ||

Awesome! How cool! They'll make a sweet addition to your gallery of beauties. Did you say they came from St. Louis? I missed those (not that there's any more room at THIS inn!) Congrats! | ||

I've watched that video about twenty times, now. I just love that the dryer has a rapid advance, as well. And I didn't oversell the wonderful percussion solo that is the rapid advance on the washer, did I? It has wonderful, multiple levels of ticking and clicking going on.
Oh, and two more things: 1) Love the high-pitched spaceship-worthy "oooooooooo" sound made by the tub holes when the tub is spinning empty. 2) Ben, that bottle in the console of the dryer is not to be used as a Popper. Learned that one the hard way.** **I am s-o-o kidding of course. This post was last edited 04/29/2013 at 19:54 | ||

" I just love that the dryer has a rapid advance, as wel
When I first read Ben's post, I thought, Oh my God, this machine has TWO rapid advance timers. You gotta be kiddin' me.!
Then during the movie, I understood. Even if you're not a dryer person, isn't this the bomb. Identical Buttons, just as many as the washer. The later Keyboard Dryers were such a disappointment to us inveterate Buttoneers, when opening the garage door, Oh no, only three, or is it two. Never knew they made an equally tricked out dryer. How wonderful. Amazing. This place just NEVER EVER gets old. This dryer could turn a person. | ||

Ok, ok, ok....
I know, I know. You guys have been waiting on baited breath, and I've been holding back the goods. Since I got back on Saturday things have been CRAZY busy. BUT, I got around to shooting some photos of the machines last night, and let's just say - even I'm pretty impressed by the way things look.
First off - a big thanks to everyone. This set is certainly a dream come true. I've been on the hunt for a '59 Lady K since I first saw one years ago, here on AW. I don't know if it is the styling, the buttons, or something else, but this machine really caught my attention from the get-go. I originally had picked up a '59 Eighty from Jetaction years and years ago, but I still was yearning for a true Lady. The story on this set actually can be tracked back to AW. A fellow posted this set about 3 years ago, after finding them in a second hand junk shop in the St. Louis metro area. He had been the first (and VERY lucky) responder to a Craigslist ad. Mr. Modtomic is a collector of many sorts, but I had actually been following him prior to his revealing on AW via his blog: mistermodtomic.blogspot.com/... So, when he posted the set after following his blog for sometime, I was impressed, but more importantly, I had never forgotten this set. Back in February, while down in St. Louis procuring the '56 Hotpoint, I had contacted Mr. Modtomic to see if he still had the Kenmores, but and more importantly, to to see if he was willing to sell. Long story short, after making him an offer, we made tentative arrangements for me to come back to St. Louis to get the set in April. So, after waiting three years to see this set, after driving 6 hours along US 218 and US 61, here they were, in the flesh, in his garage. I had never seen a 1959 Lady Kenmore before.

NSFW Who doesn't appreciate a shot underneath a Lady's skirt?
Ok, I've got to be honest. I was expecting the worst. I really was. But when I saw how clean everything was on the bottom side, I couldn't believe it!
Notice check valve number 1 where we normally see the '60 and later sump.
Also, they got away with a 2 port pump on this ultra-crazy machine. Amazing!

All in all guys, these are pretty solid machines. I plan to do a full tear down of the drive assembly on the washer, do some preventative maintenance to it, and get it up and running. Right now, I know that the washer timer motor doesn't advance the timer, but the all important rapid advance mechanism, in both machines work. I'm looking forward to working on these in the next year or so, and I'll make sure to share the progress along the way.
I hope you guys didn't mind the extra amount of photos! I just wanted to share with everyone the 'as is' state of these machines, before I start to dig into them.
Enjoy!

1959 LKMs Thanks for all the photos Ben they really brought memories and while these both need work [ especially the washer ] the really great thing is that they are in very original condition which is always better than finding an older appliance that has been jury-rigged by many different people in an attempt to keep something working. The only repair I spotted on the washer was the newer 1970s water pump and the dryer was serviced at least once as evidenced by the two labels that Sears Service applied [ my 59 electric dryer has the same two labels ]
The overall styling of these machines was truly a very well executed and a brilliant design, it is still my favorite LKM washer and dryer design ever. My other favorite LKM designs are the 1964 and they hit gold again in 1965, from there the 1968-9 has always been a favorite. I also liked the first and last of the garage door LKMs 1970-1 and the final great BD LKMs the 1974-5 machines.
You will have fun with these Ben, I don't think that the timer motor will be that hard to find for the washer, let me know if you have any parts problems, John. | ||

Wow, Ben, those are very impressive machines! I particularly like the fabric cycle selection switches - very 'retro futuristic'!!
Silly question: is there a solenoid that will release the fabric softener into the tub? I am sure the wiring diagram for the dryer is out there somewhere, too. Congratulations, these machines were definitely worth the wait and effort on your part!! | ||

WOW BEN, THOSE ARE AWESOME!!!! CONGRATS on finding and bringing home your dream machines! Thanks for ALL of the photos and the story behind this beautiful pair too!
SO beautiful! LOOOOVE the pink!
I had a chance to play with and shoot some short videos of one about 3 years ago. Had the chance to buy it too, but he wanted more then I could justify spending at the time.
What an AMAZING FIND! CONGRATS again Ben! YAY!
Kevin
P.S.... I LOVE the continuous end of cycle chime! | ||

"Follow the Yellow Brick Road, " Indded: this is OZ
So many twists--links--in the road. What an adventure. First you see a drawing of the marbles filter, a genie bottle full of "glass balls," really cool and satisfying, but primitive after you see the real thing when Jimmy cracks open of the genie. Amazing.So thoughtful of them to engineer and complicate the filter flo just for the customers' viewing pleasure. And too bad they stopped; they had it right the first time! LOL
This was fabulous Ben, but the ruby slippers light on the console had me at first. So, it's an empty rinse agent dispenser light, correct? You say you can't smell the magic liquid vial in dryer. Why can't you smell? Stuffed up from all the pollen in the air? Same here. Thinking of the Good Witch's magic dust that put Dorothy and the boys to sleep. Thanks for this fabulous day trip, Ben; it was really wonderful. "CRAZY busy," indeed, pulling back the curtain, showing how the Wizard works. | ||

1959 LKM Fabric softener dispenser This was a really clever dispenser system, and interestingly it was only used on this machine and for only one year. I believe it to be the first reservoir type FSD ever used on an automatic washer for home use. As Ben showed us you open the hinged door on the top of the console and then open a little white plastic lid and poor in up to several cups of softener. The FS goes into a plastic bag and there is a micro-switch under the bag to scene when the bag is almost empty and this switch turns on a little neon light to remind the user that the reservoir is almost empty.
To use this feature the user can select anywhere from no FS added up to 4 oz. When the washer is filling for the rinse cycle the solenoid is activated and the selected amount of FS runs through a rubber spout and goes through a depression and hole in the tub cover and is immediately mixed with the rush of water coming into the machine for the deep rinse. [ if you had decent water pressure WP built BD washers filled at a rate of over 9 gallons per minute, MT and most other automatic washers only filled a about 3 1/2 gallons per minute ] so the 18 gallons of water needed for a full fill deep rinse would take less that two minutes to fill.
As I mentioned earlier we had one of these neat washers as our families only washer for a few years in the late 1960s and we used this feature and never had any problem with it, although Eugene is differently correct that this FS system was designed for the non-concentrated FS, when I got our machine the rubber spout was completely clogged with blue concentrated FS. | ||

Rick - I believe Greg has mentioned to me that he has used Hoover C bags in his '60 Lady K dryer. So I suspect something along that variety would probably function better than new (hopefully!)
John - thank you for your assessment of the set and explanation of how the dispenser works on the washer. I do know that the 1959 Model Eighty also has an automatic softener dispenser, however the output is fixed while the Lady K is measured upon the user's selection. I haven't had a chance to dig into the Ladies yet, so I'm looking forward to examining the washer more closely! I'll certainly reach out to you if I have any questions.
Mike - I dove into the archives tonight and found some exploratory drawings and service explanations of the '59 LK dispenser. The little white dispenser you see in the photos fits into the opening on the top of the hard housing shown in the diagrams.
While this thing is cool, the '60 is even more complicated, and appears to magically clean the dispenser tubes!

Hey Arthur, I don't know the history of the set prior to Mr. Modtomic's ownership, but I suspect these saw low use, even with the hard water deposits on the wash tub. The guests were impressed with the pair. They sure do make a statement!
Rick - I had forgotten completely about Mark's pink Lady K set. I went back to the archives and it hit me when I saw the post. They are '58's!

Mike - I believe the dial on Mark's '58 washer still activates by a push/pull. The chain-driven timeline tape replaces a pointed indicator traveling along a 360 degree plane, but the mechanism still works the same.
Phil - it might be awhile before you guys get to see some action videos, but check out the test video I posted earlier in this thread of push button timers.

Good heavens!!
Sorry to drift off-topic, but that 'Think Pink' number HAD to be the inspiration for the 2000 Eatons Department store re-launch ad!!
Fast forward the video to about 1:55 into it and you'll see the finale of three commercials that were aired in November of 2000. Hardly anyone saw the first two ads and when the third one was aired, it confused people even more... The similarities to 'Think Pink' are pretty remarkable.
