Well, today i went to an estate sale in Pine Grove Mills (5 miles from my home) and found this beautiful working 1968 Kenmore Dryer, I bought it for 5 dollars. You think it's worth it, lol?

Unfortunately My friend Rich and I found the matching washer but alas we did not get to it in time, so it is heading to China as scrap :(:(:( But i beleive if i amass enough dryers there will be nothing else to find but the matching washers. HEHE | ||

I love hidden controls!
Several years ago, I saw this washer & dryer set at a sale. They were in the basement and hadn't been used for a long time as they had a stacking unit on the main floor. Coppertone too! The dryer we saw today was the similar vintage "Match-All" dryer with the small raised aluminum panel at the back, controls under a flip-cover on the left side of the top-back. | ||

My Aunt,Natilie from Dundalk(Baltimore County),Maryland had the same model and color as well as the matching washer.She also had the matching gas range , a Philco-Ford refrigerator(bottom freezer),and a Whirlpool frost free freezer that replaced her 1945 Kelvinator chest model.The Kenmore set replaced a 1956 Westinghouse space mates pair that were pink!

Thats a great find, Graham, so glad you got it! Those were not a long lived design for some reason, but were so interesting to see and they work great. Is this gas ot electric? | ||

Steve, yes, it pays to keep all the unique pieces. Chad, Graham had seen a photo of the washer but thought it had been krushed. Luckily there was a misunderstanding between the owner of the warehouse and myself. He scraped *ALL* of the Maytags (sob) but had moved all the rest (4 Hamilton dryers, GE dryer, Norge washer with that burp-o-later agitator, 1958 Kenmore dryer, Frigidaire filtrator dryer, Hotpoint dryer, MW Windsor dryer, the 15 1-18 w&d and this Kenmore washer). As time permits, I'm getting the keepers out of his way. I had to rent another storage unit - ugh! Jimmy, I hope that you're feeling better. Graham, of course the washer is yours. Besides, you need more washers anyway. How interesting that both pieces are Coppertone! | ||

TrainGuy: How about a shot of the interior, what's it got for an agitator? | ||
