Must be a sweet dryer, as they're asking more than it probably cost new... Gordon, is this a mate to one of your early ones?

Two cycles. Were you suppposed to use the cooldown of the WNW cycle for air fluff? I can not clearly read the heats offered, but it looks like there is something after LOW. Could a KM dryer actually have "OFF" in the heat selections to give fluff? I do not remember seeing that before.

Sort of a strange juxtaposition of a rounded cabinet and squared corner control panel. Mom's 58 LK had slightly rounded control panel corners.

Tom,

That setting before Low is probably Air, like you speculated.

I have a 1961 KM 70 dryer, and a 1963 600 that both have a similar temperature selection. The range is something like Air, Low, Med, W n W, and Hot or High.

My dryers are both three cycle machines, but I believe the temp selections were the same on the two cycle models. Seems like Sears issued the same basic machines with the same features, year for year back then, just with revised panels each year.


That's a cool find Lawrence! This machine is a couple years older than my earliest Kenmore.

Gordon

Ross (Westyslantfront) has the mate to this dryer (or the model above this one).
