So the new laundry room is taking shape -- plumbing in the process of being roughed in (cold water for now) and eventually 220V for the clothes dryers. I am envisioning a wash-in in the future..!

Wow It Looks Great Todd, keep us posted as you make progress, you may have a little trouble installing 220 volt power however as there is no such thing in the US, LOL but please keep us posted.

Shaping up well, Todd! Looks great.

Question about photo #2: What brand is the washer with the tall console under the window next to the Whirlpool?

Looks Great!!

Something I'd definitely love to do in the future when I have the space!

Now a question--how about some more pics of the Kenmore pair in the 4th pic? I don't think I've seen that styling before. What vintage are they?

Thanks!

Looks like it will be a mighty fine laundry room, apparently with lots of room for future acquisitions!

That's a nice laundry room Todd! Lots of space to move around the machines! I wish I had something like that for my machines!

Your laundry room looks great. I'm sure you'll be overjoyed once you have everything in place and setup the way that you want it. You have some nice looking machines in your collection. Keep everyone posted on your progress. wink

Turquoise!!

That looks good!  Especially love the turquoise sets against the white walls.  Man I wish we had more room...I'd have a few more toys too!

Eugene, that is a Norge.

Thanks, Bob. I thought it might be a Norge, but something about the lid and cycle dial made me think of Penncrest or a Franklin-based machine like Wizard or Coronado.

That's a lovely laundry room, Todd!  I approve of the turquoise Maytags and Whirlpools.  LOL

 

Can't wait to see more - congratulations!

Hi Todd, You have some beautiful sets there. I especially like all of the turquoise sets. The white Kenmores are beautiful too. Your laundry is nice and sunny with lots of windows. I no longer collect but I am happy to see there are still collectors who restore, maintain and have fun with their machines. Take care, Dano

'66 Kenmore Set

washerlover's profile picture
This is for Mark, who asked for more pics of my 1966 Kenmore set. Another member on this site has the same set, same color. Of interest is the agitator, which is not Bakelite, but polypropylene. Unfortunately, I do not have the dryer hooked up so I couldn't show off its lighted console or drum. Enjoy!

1966 Kenmores

combo52's profile picture

Beautiful machines Todd, MOL and up KMs and WPs during this time period were about the best performing laundry pairs the world had seen up to this point in time. It is easy to see why between WP and Sears models that WP was already dominating the home laundry market, they were like the General Motors of laundry appliances during this time.

 

I have the exact same pair of fully restored KMs here on the east coast that need a home if anyone is interested contact me, thanks John L.

1966 Kenmores

Todd,

Thanks for the extra shots of the machines! There's something about the styling of that era that I really like...

John L.,

Well, I'm not all that close to the east coast, but believe me, if I had the room for a more serious collection, I'd definitely be talking to you about your set and finding a trailer to drag behind me...

What happened to the coppertone Kenmores?

Post# 826636 , Reply# 24   6/4/2015 at 20:01 (3,220 days old) by washerlover (The Big Island, Hawai’i)        
Not to worry...

washerlover's profile picture
The coppertone '64 Kenmores are alive and well (just replaced the washer motor but now the machine is squealing a bit when kicking into spin -- suspect it's the spin tube). In addition to the laundry room, there is a hall indoor laundry closet for my "special" machines -- that's where the coppertone Kenmores live. And there are also hook ups in the garage where my 1-18's currently reside.

Beautiful 1964 Copper-Tone Pair

combo52's profile picture

Nice pair Todd, nobody did the shaded Copper-Tone color as well as WP-KM, most other brands had too much contrast between the base color and the shading.
