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..!

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.

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

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!

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. |

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... |

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.
