I "fixed up" several of these Whirlpools for resale. They were always among my favorites, although they weren't the favorite of the store's. That timer that selected everything and had a zillion wires on it was very pricey to replace under the 90-day warranty. Most Lady Kenmores with similar timers were taboo. A Kenmore-specific timer had to be purchased from Sears, not a parts house. You really can't blame Sears for attempting to protect their then precious brand. |

They'll end up taking less for it. I wouldn't be surprised if they got their hands on it for free or next to nothing.
It's beautiful and I've never seen a Whirlpool that's as feature-rich as a Lady Kenmore, but it makes sense. 1959 was IMO the peak year for excess in all aspects of American industrial design. To wit:
I hope it finds a good home. I don't think the seller will let it go to the krusher. |

Really nice washer. The ad says it's a '59 model, but the booklet shows slightly newer models after the cabinet restyling took place. |

I’d buy it if they’d subtract $500 from the price |

In the right hands something maybe could be made of the thing, and it should scrub up well. But not $600 and sold "as is"; seller will soon learn that bit of reality.
As upthread, they likely got the thing for pennies or nothing and are seeking to make a killing. After all it is *Vintage*, and they've heard about people spending *huge* sums for old appliances. |

Beautiful 1960. And pink.
Anyone know what the blank button over the timer does? My 61 is a suds-saver so it's the return cycle. CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK

I wish I could get this vintage 1960 Whirlpool Imperial Mark 12 washer, but $600 is way out of my price range.
They should consider about lowing the price since the seals will more than likely will need to be replaced, and these old Whirlpool/Kenmore belt drives are good machines, but replacing things like the tub will be a huge ordeal, and if you bump the air dome, you will have to fix that since it can cause the washer to leak. If it were paired up with it's matching dryer, maybe it would be worth $600, but even then that is a little too much. -Sean |
