Nice washer, Dwight! If you post the model and serial number from the tag on the back of the washer, we'll be able to date it down to the month it was made. Togs - the paneling was applied at the factory! Check out the ad link from 68. CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK on eBay |

Well... If you need to know, yes! The whole basement was set up that way. Every wall had it! Now if I could just find the matching dryer... |

Looks like I no longer have a data plate. I see rivets by the hose outlet, but that's all that is left. Dang! Anywhere else I could look? |

Might it be Avocado? Captain, it is a beauty; a great "first" vintage washing machine. |

Oh Dwight, this is the beginning of the end! You think those consoles and combos take up a lot of room...? Very cool machine. Never seen one like it. And I love the fact that Whirlpool designed the dryer door along the same lines as the tailgate on Ford station wagons. Welcome! You'll love it here (be forewarned though, that it's a lot different than AK!) We actually have a few more AK retreads around--Chad Hauris, Cory H., Jason L.... veg |

Welcome!! Greg, that is one of my all-time favorite Whirlpool print ads. Granny taking in laundry and all the wonderful features of the Mark XII helped her waltz through so she could generate her income!!! I think I remember Jon LeFevre having the dryer when were were at the 2002 convention. But I don't remember if it was Avocado or White. |

Dwight - that is one heck of a cool find there, you will have sooo much fun with this machine. And that killer paneling - who would have thought? One heck of a way to get started - hope the bug doesn't hurt! Austin - I think I spied a florescent blub starter on the top portion of the back panel. Great engineering there - so easy to change (or rattle)! Ben |

Sometimes a date is stamped on the side of the transmission. I don't know if it would exactly match the washers actual manufacturing year or not. |

What makes the cool sounds on a whirlpool washer. Is it the tranny or the motor or something else. I wish I could create that sound. Very relaxing.... :-) |

I used to push the lid switch with my finger and if you timed it just right, you'd get a good "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRIND-click-clunk" |

Those base fins on this particular surgilator look HUGE. Can only imagine what kind of of turnover this agi. gives. KEEP THAT LID CLOSED! LOL. A true classic. |
