Wow! That is a nice washer. I like the Maytag-esque central timer dial. ![]() |

I sold that same washer a few years ago. Only one I've ever seen in Coppertone |

is it original?
That machine looks like it has been painted. Three reasons I say this: I don't ever remember seeing anything other than a white dispenser on any Kenmore of that vintage, and this one is brown. The second reason: IIRC, Kenmore appliances that were anything other than white were "shaded". And the third: the white "spills" look more like bare places where the original white is coming through....(perhaps the original owner painted it to "match" a vintage Coppertone Kenmore dryer???) |

Solid as Sears?
It has been repainted...look at the edge of the inside of the lid. We had a '79 Kenmore 70 series washer in white, and the one in the ad is otherwise identical except for the paint job...in fact, when we won a Whirly in 1992 in a Tide sweepstakes, we gave the Kenmore to my niece, whom I believe is still using it today! The Whirly was replaced by a Maytag Performa five years ago...go figure... |
