Hi all, I have a Whirlpool LA5580XKW1 available free for pickup if anyone is local enough and interested. I believe it is from 1991. Pictures below, including of the rust on the rim edge. It is located on Long Island about an hour out from NYC. I believe it works just fine and can check this coming week if needed. Any questions or if interested, let me know.

best, E

Ah, thank you! I'm new to the forum and doing most of my research online which can be contradictory at times and also means I am unsure whether something like this is necessarily desirable. So 1982 it is! Thanks for the heads up.

1982 is more up for collectibility (with condition of course being a concern and major parts gone NLA) than 1991, being that it's an "old-style" belt-drive mechanism vs. the "newer" direct-drive.

*Belt-drive production ended 1986.  Direct drive was from sometime in 1981 through 2010-2012.

Belt drives are getting rare.

If I'm not mistaken this was the final panel style of the belt-drives.
