sorry hmmmm, gheez, forget to mention above that maybe with that model one would sure think it was a '59, but I have a '59 Kenmore and it doesn't look anything like that ......... | ||

Turbo wash? 75 amps? I think maybe 7.5 amps. 75 amps could run 2 electric ovens! | ||

I doubt it's 1959 either, but it COULD be. Maybe a 1958. This had to have been a pretty basic model. Not even a water level knob. An aunt of mine had a very similar looking washer. Timer face was same color. And yes, her's had the same color tub. Only more expensive models had the white porcelain tub. And that agitator cap is original. My aunt's had the same narrow straight vane agitator. Her's did have a water level knob too unlike this one.

The straight vane agitator and darker colored tub was used on lower end models, although this has the "modern fabric" cycle. I do know that '55 models had the back opening lid so it could be late 50's. Also the timer knob is similar to the LK '58???? | ||

Austin, First let me say I'm rootin for ya! Next, if by "Jubliee" kitchen wax you mean the liquid in a bottle, it has been discontinued for ages. You are not the only one searching for it either. Seems to be a cult out there and every now and then bottles show up (old store stock/estate sale). SC Johnson has a spray version, don't know if it will suit your purposes though.

Does anybody know how long KM continued these lower end "Frog Eye" models?Maybe when they squared off the cabinets in about 61? Anyhow,i always thought those black straight vanes had very good washing action. | ||

frog eye,or bulls eye
My mothers first automatic looked like this,but it had a water level control knob next to the water temp knob. I think hers was a 1957 mol model. I think the first two numbers after the "110." are the model year for Kenmore. This would indeed be a 1959. I have heard people call these the "Bullseye" and "Target" models. The older ones with two knobs in the front of the cabinet look more like the "frog eye" models to me. Thanks, Rick | ||

I agree Rick; two "eyes" bulging out at an angle from the top of the cabinet...LOL! I'm hoping the black hex-drive Surgilator that Don sent me will work with this machine... | ||

KM/WP pilots Hi fixerman-that's very interesting. I guess I would expect them to be slightly different back then. Thanks for the info-David | ||

Kenmore Washer This machine reminds me of the washer my aunt had, but I think the one she had the lid opened from front to back also it had a large agitator in it. This was many years ago so I could be wrong. | ||

I Feel Your Pain Too
Kenmore1978 is on the money with this one. Austin your final bid was one hour before the auction ended, which gave GEFilterFlow man time to revise his bid. Was hoping you would see my post and go back and snipe, but guess you got busy with other stuff. In situations like that, especially where you see a dedicated bidder coming back time after time revising his bids to be the highest bidder, you really have to snipe in the last few moments with the highest money you've got. Don't sweat it though, your time will come, of this I am sure. Launderess | ||

I don't see anything "bitter" about the conversation on this thread. It reads to me like everyone is saying "oh well, better luck next time." There is nothing bitter about lending some "emotional" support to a friend that lost out this time. | ||

I don't feel bad at all despite losing this auction. Why? Well...you'll see ;-) --Austin | ||

Hi Beth, Usually I just ignore the "n00bs" for a while. Saves a lot of steam ;-) | ||

Camaraderie Bethann claims there's camaraderie in a club where people admit they "ignore the noobs for awhile"? Apparently there's camaraderie only after the "noobs" have proven themselves "worthy"? And, who is in charge of deciding worthiness? Bethann? | ||

People, people! 'Tis the Holiday Season. Time for loving each other to pieces, not for bickering. We're all sorry for Austin. We're always sorry for a member who loses an auction. And not that I'm saying it's right, but I don't see any harm in a little sniping. I do it, and I lose anyway! The unfortunate truth is that's what a LOT of people are doing on ebay. We really are a fun, friendly gang here. You gotta keep in mind that humor is sometimes hard to get across in a short post. But I believe we all generally post with tongue firmly planted in cheek. So let's get back to enjoying ourselves and posting them pictures! Nothing like starting the day with a little "appliance porn"! Ow. Bit my tongue. Veg | ||

Quote: My only question would be, and not for the sake of continuing the John and Blanche Bickerson routine, what happens if two or more club members are vying for the same auction win? John and Blanche would be proud! Actually, what happens is one of two things: depending on the two parties involved, they either A)duke it out or B)slap each other silly. Dang. There goes that tongue again. Veg | ||

E-Bay bidding Wasn't rooting for anyone in particular, just advising how E-Bay works, it's a fact of bidding for anything on E-Bay. | ||

sniping That's like having a duel with robots. I would never use software like that, I'd try it the old fashioned way with human reaction time. If I miss it, so be it. | ||
