Pete -
Those scans are great!! Thank you for posting, especially the 1983 scan. I remember well the 1975 book, which I was fascinated by as kid because of the two similar but different washers. The '83 book has two models that I've never seen. It seems that models that don't make the Spring or Fall big books could find a place in the Christmas catalog, as this happened with the models on the 75, the 83, and the 85 Christmas catalogs (the dryer anyway in the 85 book). I knew the washer on the 1983 book was available, but always wondered what it looked like. This is the only 60 series Kenmore belt-drive to ever have a Dual-Action agitator. It was discontinued in 1985. The dryer on the other hand is BIZARRE. Usually in Kenmore thinking dryers started with timed cycles only - BOL had one heated cycle, next up two, then three, then Auto Fabric Master with one heat, then two, then the electronic senser models with the same two heats, then three, then Lady K. This was the scheme from the early 1970s well into the 1990s, maybe further. This 1983 dryer bucks that system, and goes back to one heat temp, but with the electronic sensor. WEIRD, and I never knew it existed. Interesting that they paired a 60 series washer with an 80 series dryer! That's unusual too. I tried to buy the dryer shown in the 1985 catalog. It was there on the sales floor when I bought my 1986 machines, and it was $10 cheaper than the dryer I bought, but the salesman scoffed and nearly dragged me away, saying that I needed more than one temp (this to a college kid who wore jeans and knit shirts most of the time). I've used the low heat setting on my dryer maybe 10 - 15 times. Gordon |

is a real surprise in that it has the button arrangement like the Whirlpool Mark X11--interesting. Again, KM variety is truly mind-boggling. It just never stops, hundreds of different consoles. Wondering if we'll ever see them all, or if we'll ever get them in order, fully organized and cataloged!
And Pete, I love the pre-Visimatic wringer. What a big happy doll she is! Thanks. |

Thanks for the scans! Here is a picture of a Canadian KM DW. Similar to the scan. Saved from Kijiji. |
