Actually its a 1970 500 series. The metal lid handle is a good guide for that (1971 and older).
Oddball model with a Pre-soak and Pre-wash, otherwise it was a near clone of the 1970 500 series with the waterfall filter, etc. that occasionally graces the POD. I had a beautiful one of these in my storage trailer when it got looted in 2009. Gordon | ||

Tom -
There was a variety of Kenmore models in the 1968 - 1972 period that used this console in various paint/trim colors, even two early 18 lb. large capacity models. I've seen white, cream, tan, tan/gray, gray or silver, and a charcoal gray base panel, and accent colors in corresponding hues, and also ugly orange as well as pastel green. Some of the 1968 models had the cycle-printed transparent dials, and they were in the colors you describe in that time period. I think these were good sellers for Sears, and I think there have been a few here on the site over the years. Andy and Kenny - I have no idea who this dude is in Charlotte to whom you refer, but that washer is actually NOT calling to anyone here that I am aware of. I'd take back the one I lost in my trailer, but not this one. You can put your Ladies K back in their places now Andy, :-) I'll post a couple pictures of similar models: First is a 1970 KM 400, from a recent Craigslist ad. Not commonly seen these days. This too may have been a model that sales people foamed at the mouth to up-sell.

Here is the same model as the subject of this thread on the left, alongside a standard 1970 KM 500 on the right.
The standard 500 was built in 1972 thus it got the new handle-less lid. Both these machines were stolen in 2009 and presumably sold for scrap, though I suppose some could have gone on to be used (doubt it).

That's pretty with the turquoise accents on the timer. Thanks for sharing and memorializing. | ||

I was planning on swinging by this sale Saturday afternoon so I'll post pics of what I find. That is, unless it's sold and gone when I get there, of course.
A friend of mine sent me a pic last night of a range in another house a mutual friend just bought, asking about value. It's pretty but looks rough, a bit like the KM washer:
