And...she also runs well with the "Kenmore whine" and (aside from the hum of the motor) the spin is pretty quiet, with no rattling or bearing noise! | ||

Austin - that is pretty cool! Love the color, and the hidden controls. I would think that the alphabet would be cumbersome at first, but would be very handy once you got used to what each 'letter' means. Looks really sharp! BTW - what are the boxes in the back ground w/ Asian writing on them? Big into fortune cookies? =) Ben | ||

Great save there! Looks like it is in good shape for the year. Interesting design, I wonder if there is a way to back light the controls, they remind me of a friends 66 Charger Dash. You are getting a great collection. Scott | ||

Woot!!!!!!!! That's a beauty Austin!! I love the controls. That dial kind of reminds me of old Hotpoints that were sold over here in the 70s or so! Expecting action-pics and vids once it's all done :-) Take care! Jon | ||

Austin---- Yeah, its just as you described the other night. That is a great find! The most likely reason for the different color agitator cap is because the rubber scrubber cap is missing! You are not supposed to see that black cap! Anyway, can't wait to see her all restored to her original beauty! Congratulations! | ||

Wow, Austin, what an excellent find. I can't believe what great shape the tub and agitator are in! Did that originally come with a scrubber cap on the agitator? The hidden controls are very cool. I grew up with a 1960 KM and it had a 1/3 h.p. motor. Had they switched to 1/2 h.p. by 1967 (or whatever year your machine hails from). Congratulations!!! | ||

Austin, I am really happy for you! I know that you have been wanting a Kenmore for some time. I think this has really been a great year for you!! Have fun and keep us posted. Terry | ||

Wow - it looks pretty good overall from the outside. What a great project for you to work on, you'll have a lot of fun. These are one of the strangest Kenmore panel designs, always intriguing to me as a kid. I saw a set of these in coppertone a few years back at a sale, they were in the basement and hadn't been used in years as the lady had a stack set upstairs in the bathroom. Good luck with your new friend!

Nice Kenmore Mr Wiley Avocado too boot. I saw the companion dryer in white last April when I was visiting friends in Spokane. Interesting that they were fancifying the controls (at least the timers) in that era and then concealing them. I love the mostly metal Kenmores. Can't wait to attend a Texas washin! | ||

Well done Austin I ran into this model washer a couple of years back at a food pantry. Wished i could have taken it then. Anyhow, i'm sure you are going to love it. :) | ||

Well, Austin, you'll surely be able to wash your permanent press and cottons with confidence now that you have "dial by the alphabet". The knobs are pristine. That's sliding door really protected them. | ||

I just noticed something The timer looks backwards because it runs counter-clockwise! The markings are stationary on this one (as opposed to the whole thing moving on other machines). What a funky and rare machine. And I'll bet it agitates and fills during PP cool down. | ||
