As I've written elsewhere, I've got a temporary position in Mt. Carroll, IL (about 1:15 from the Quad Cities and 2:45 from Chicago)at The Campbell Center for Historic Preservation Studies. I'll be here until early November.
On-site, there are several vintage washers and dryers that they would like to get rid of. The conditions of the machines is mostly unknown, but I can do my best to inspect what you want me to. The prices are mostly free, however, a donation of some sort to the Campbell Center would be greatly appreciated. If you're interested in any machines, please reply in this thread and I can make arrangements for pickup. None of the machines are located in areas that are difficult to access. Pics to follow.

The exception in the bunch.
This 1969 700 series dryer is the only one of this group in regular use. In fact, it was running when I took this pic. I recently installed new drum rollers, a new belt, and am about to get a new idler pulley. If you want this one, you'll need to provide a replacement 29" top-filter dryer or give money sufficient to purchase one. Gordon, this is the one that I believe to be a perfect match to your '69 700 washer.
That's all. If I find any more, I'll post pics, Dave

Dave -
KOOL stuff! I love the GE washer - how surprising is that??? The first Kenmore looks like it might be a 66? James/70series would know better as I have not personally seen a 65 or a 66 70. The black on the knobs to me says mid-60s and they are styled exactly like the 66/67 600 series which I have some exposure to. 1966 would explain the black agitator, however after the last of the bakelite Roto-Swirls (1966), the 1967 Polypropylene Roto-Swirls were black too, then they went to gold in 1968 until some models had white in 1976 and later (while others remained gold). It could also be a post-manufacture replacement. That sort of thing happened all the time. The later 70s black panel 70-series is a 1979 model. You can check the model tag at the left front foot, but I would lay money down that it is either a 110.729701x0, or a 110.729741x0. I know this because the 'Energy Saver' notations began in 1979 and ran into 1981. There were few models like this in that time period equipped with three water levels and a penta-swirl. The two 1979 model 70-series, and a 1980 model 60 series but it had a manual waterfall filter and painted lid. The only difference with the two 79 models is the 701 has an off-balance relay and the 741 does not - a $10 difference in the 1979 catalogs. As to that beautiful dryer, I hadn't 'processed' your suggestion about that before, I'm sorry about that. I think that dryer is probably in good hands where it is. I have too many of everything right now and am in fact about to post a few dryers of my own that I would like to find homes for. I like my '69 washer but I think I have an idea of someone who might like it better and I'm going to inquire with him if he wants it. I would be interested in the two washers if they don't find homes!! I would gladly make a donation for you. Gordon | ||

About the timer knob - it is common for the 'finger/thumb' knobs that the 1970s and 1980s Kenmores often used to sheer or crack, and often someone would use other WP products to replace them - whatever was onhand. In this case, that knob is a Whirlpool timer knob. Some of those were metal and more durable than the plastic KM knob.

Dave, That GE FF looks interesting. Think you can stuff it in your car for me? I have no way to get to IL, but I can pay you for your trouble, if it is not too much. | ||

How much for the Programmed HD-18 Filter-flo?
That one, like nearly all the others, is available for the cost of shipping. Of course, if you find it in your heart to give the Campbell Center a small (or large) donation, they would be very VERY glad to get it. If donating anything, please request that it go to building maintenance (my department). The physical plant needs some serious TLC.
Sorry Melvin, but my car won't hold a washer when it's empty, and it will be very very full when I drive back to Cincinnati. I'll see about some more photos tomorrow. Also, I'm quite certain that all of these machines have been used and none has been kept here as NOS. I want to see these washers saved, Dave | ||
