This Kenmore is looking for a home. Looks hardly used. Missing the silver basket and the cover for the power cord and hoses. |

This was a post Roto-rack. I think the roto-racks went out in 1975. This had the triple level wash. Also had the 'power-miser' so I'm guessing mid 70's model. |

My parents had a Kenmore of earlier vintage but similar looks. It was a cheaper model with only three buttons that had flat fronts, and no black on the panel, all woodgrain. Probably a '75 or '76. They decided to replace it in late 1990 when a door spring broke and the lower front panel had developed rust at the top, which had become unsightly.
What I remember most is how dramatically quiet it was compared to the uber BOL late 60's Wardgidaire portable toploader it replaced.
Thanks for posting. I haven't seen a good money shot of one of those Kenmores before and I had forgotten what the interior was like. A fine machine for a smart buyer and a real deal at $20. |
