I just wanted to ask a quick question that’s been on my mind. How would someone go about finding other vintage machines? Is it just about luck, or is there specific places to look? I’ve always dreamed of owning many vintage washers but i’ve had very little luck in finding any vintage machines such as Frigidaire Jetcone or Unimatic washers, or Kenmores such as the one featured in today’s Picture Of the Day. If anyone has any tips or tricks to finding one, it would be greatly appreciated.

Patience and persistence will be the key to finding these vintage machines. I always wanted a Maytag A806 set from the late 60’s or early 70’s but never had the luck on acquiring one but I can’t complain since I now have my 1963 RCA Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII set in turquoise. I will still keep looking for a Maytag A806 set though.

I wouldn’t mind a Lady Kenmore but my 1963 RCA Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII is Whirlpool’s version of the Lady Kenmore washer :)

A lot depends on location. If you're out in the boondocks the pickings can be mighty slim and you'll need to expand the search radius and be willing to drive a few hours if necessary. |
