Good thread Freddy!
As I don't have many washers and dryers with lighted consoles, I did include a few other appliances! |

Looking back at past pictures is a trip down memory lane.
How about the rarely seen germicidal lamp? |

Rescued, stolen by a scraper then rescued right back with the assistance of the Sparks, NV. Police. A rare rescue and victory.

Awesome! Please keep them coming! I am enjoying all them alot! Thanks!
Kevin, I would kill to find something with a lighted console or service lights over here, I have a thing for appliances with "commodity lights" in consoles, tubs, drums etc(is "commodity/service light" the right term?). I think they are great features, I really enjoy their usefulness alot, they're also so charming....so....can't find a proper word...but hope you know what I mean.. All I have with a service light is my beloved mixmaster....and the Proctor silex percolator that I only use in special occasions with guests etc...otherwise it stays safe in the cupboard. I am going to put a few pics featuring the mixmaster power plus kneading hot dog buns dough, which is the only appliance along with the percolator with commodity lights I own (not the daily driver avocado Silex Made Montgomery wards in this pic) I actually am very ashamed to post it...please don't judge... this is all what I have to share which is near to the subject :( This post was last edited 07/04/2014 at 17:18 |

Here's some pictures of the lighted-panel washers and dryers in the collection. I am proud to say that I have a few Canadian-made machines among them!!
I have GOT to get some of the 'orphans' out of the shop or out of storage... |

Anyone got a photo of a 62 Frigidaire Custom Imperial Washer? Those had great lighted consoles. I love lighted consoles on appliances. They make machines look so much classier. |

Now those with incandescent lighting.
I had to include a picture of my favorite fridge and of my newly acquired Miami Carey range hood. I always liked these hoods with glass panels on the front! I have searched for a while to get one and finally got one when I got a second Maytag A806 in a house that was about to be demolished! I still wish I'd find one that's a bit older than this one but that's OK for now! |

Here are a few more photos of machines I once had in my possession.
The turquoise Maytag pair is near Reno, NV in the hands of a wonderful Maytag Repairman.
The last photo is a friends laundry room with 3 1960's GE sets and a '66 Lady K set. |

Thank you Kevin for posting the photo of those 62' Frigidaires. I always thought those were the best looking washer & dryers. That's the set I grew up with! |

Allen, my pleasure. David, thank you very much! Phil, yes both the Frigidaire set and the Whirlpool set after it are Patricks (pdub) in Oregon. All of those after that are at Robert & Fred's in Minneapolis. Freddy, a mixer with a light for the work bowl, how cool is that! I've never seen one of those. Kevin |

Well, at least what I had photos of handy. The first is our '63 Frigidaire Deluxe. The white dryer is our '63 Maytag DE700, which was swapped out a year later for the '62 PDE701. At some point, I need to get pictures of the matching PA700. |

These machines I saw while at Don's (Jetaction) place over Memorial Day weekend, all very neat indeed!
We did do laundry in each of the washers, and ALL are suds savers BTW! I would have liked to watch the Speed Queen do a suds return, but it wasn't possible in the time I was there. The dark, narrow oven door on the GE range while hard to see, is stainless.

There's not a machine pictured on this thread that isn't absolutely gorgeous. And you've all done a spectacular job at restoring/maintaining them! I continue to hope that one day I'll luck out and find a machine like one of those. I could admire them for hours.
It's a pity that appliances have become so dull over the years. You would think that what were TOL features back then would be standard features now, and that lighted consoles and tubs would be a simple tweak. There's no character in new appliances like there was back then. |
