$250 for a rare machine is a good deal and that’s what I paid for my 1963 RCA Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII set

I used to have that same machine but lost it in the purge of 86 a dark period in my history. If I am correct that seems to be missing the blower solenoid. |

OMG! I wish I had seen this sooner. My sister lives in Cordova. I could have popped right over with my brother-in-law's truck and got that baby! |

Here’s a few more pictures of the Lady Kenmore combo that arrived this past Monday. It hasn’t had any cleaning, yet.
Thanks Robert for posting this and allowing it to be saved! |

Yes I understand the scrapping as there is fixing to be a big event around my place. I hope to get rid of approximately 5000 pounds. As the washers and dryers have become more disposable I’ve focused more on other aspects of the service world and have mostly turned down the washer and dryer repairs.

As a very young person working while in high school and college I saw tons of appliances, especially laundry, traded in and scrapped. This was a very large, high-volume store that's still there. 5 full-sized delivery vans busy 5 days a week. The section of the parking lot where they were stored had to be cleaned out every week. I like to think of this as the "golden age" of trade-ins. I attribute this to 3 developments in appliances...avocado green, harvest gold and shaded coppertone. Self-cleaning ovens helped. Washers & matching dryers came in regardless if one was still working perfectly. I wouldn't be surprised if both working laundry and refrigeration models were traded in just because people wanted to make a fashion statement, even in their garages. White, yellow, pink or turquoise meant you tried to keep your dinner guests out of the kitchen. At least with this store, they maintained a resale floor so not everything was scrapped. Reliable washers and dryers were rebuilt and sold thanks to a couple of low-paid part-time people like myself but I had nothing to complain about. I was having fun and getting paid for it. Unfortunately the more bells and whistles an appliance had the better the chance it would end up on the scrap truck. Any combination was dumped, and I saw many of them. A few of the other items the are "prized finds" today that were automatically trashed were GE wall refrigerators (lots of them from the Eichler home developments in the area), early Foodaramas and V-handle Philco fridges (the 2-ton door would occasionally not latch properly and fall on the owner's foot...ouch!).

Sean, there's always a market for used cars. It's beneficial to many people who want a nice newer car or truck, but can't afford a brand new vehicle. Unlike many newer junky appliances, motor vehicles under 15 years old are rarely scrapped unless wrecked or needing major repairs. |
