Meighan:
Hi, and thanks so much for giving us appliance collectors a chance to help!
Some more information would be helpful, for this reason: Appliances come in all kinds of different styles, to suit the taste and income of prospective buyers. In addition, there used to be new appliance models each year. So: - Are the characters wealthy, middle-class or working class? - What exact year is the script set in? - Are there any special color requirements? Believe it or not, there are a lot of people who look at movies and TV and know, instantly, that appliances are right or wrong for the period of the story *. Hopefully, we can help - there are a fair number of members in California and neighboring states. If budget permits and the need is there, other members are all over the U.S. Thanks for asking! * Here's an example of what I'm talking about - the Mad Men set of Betty Draper's kitchen came in for some discussion lately: CLICK HERE TO GO TO danemodsandy's LINK | ||

Hi Meighan,
I have a number of machines that may fits your needs, however I'm in the Los Angeles area... so unfortunately this may not work.
Just a thought.

Thanks for your reply! The scene will be set in a middle class home in Los Altos in 1976. I don't think we are looking for any specific colors right now. Thank you again! | ||

Don't forget, Sandy.
There was also a big deal about the Draper's apartment laundry room.

Meighan:
You're in luck with Kevin - he has a very extensive collection.
The fashionable appliance colors in 1976 were: WHITE - No explanation needed. COPPERTONE - A deep chocolate-y brown, with edges "shaded" in a darker brown. A little passe by '76, but still available. AVOCADO - A medium green, with edges "shaded" in a deeper green. Still acceptable in '76, but moving downscale from its late-'60s heyday. HARVEST GOLD - A mustard-y gold, with edges "shaded' in a deeper gold. The most fashionable '70s color. Putting together an entire set of major appliances (range, fridge, dishwasher and possibly a vent hood and a washer and dryer) in a vintage color can be challenging. White is much easier. | ||
