What do we have here? Why it's a measuring cup that fits over the agitator cap------ how convenient. Even has quarter cup incremental markings. Those Lady people think of everything to make the housewife's job just a little bit better.

ROTO-SWIRL with scrubber cap Six fins of fun !!! Looks a little phallic. Those engineers must have been thinking about the lady of the house again.

Dryer interior. The interior looks brand new. No rust or scratches. I think she hardly used it. Note the large electronic sensor strip

Very Nice Save. Handsome set. Do the buttons on the dryer offer a temp selection? | ||

Wow Jim
Nice find! I love TOL washers and dryers you never have restrictions with TOL!! Coppertone is the best vintage color I like it better than pink or turquoise. It reminds me of Root Beer. Congrats to you and handsome Lou for hauling those up from oblivion. I know what that is like! Last weekend Greg & Steve and I did the same thing with that 400 pound Combo and at the top of the stairs there was only 1/2 inch clearance. Clever idea the rug trick , I've used that before. Its amazing how a simple rug can beat out a nice steel handtruck sometimes. But when its an addiction -its NEVER a problem and there is always room --right?? | ||

heat selection MY mom had those machines, only in avacado. The heat selection was automatic...coming on high, and then gently tapering off as the load dried. Sears called it "Soft Heat". It worked great and you only had to choose the dryness level. That was controlled by the dial on the console. | ||

What a great set. Hope you're able to get the washer back up and running with a minimum of fuss. | ||

different buttons? Wow, this is interesting, where is the enzyme soak or cold rinse? Maybe this one is more "top of the line" than mine? | ||

WOWO!
These are my dream Kennies. I actually had the washer (in white) around 1980 or so, but the dryer never surfaced- it seems that many LK customers got an attack of budgetitis when it came time to choose a dryer and bought a 700 or something. So I never did complete the pair. One of my high school teachers used to borrow her folks' house for student get-togethers (like cast parties for school plays- Mrs. Givens was our drama teacher), and her mom had this identical coppertone pair in a very snazzy kitchen with plaid wallpaper. The coppertone went with the plaid perfectly. The mention of the aqua pair makes Baby drool. That is my dream colour for this pair. | ||

Don't Go Down There! It's Dark!
As Bugs Bunny would say! *LOL* Neat save and a wonderful find! Had sort of the same problem when I went to pick up my portable Whirlpool dryer. Poor me assumed how heavy a portable dryer could be, boy was I wrong! Complicating matters was like your situation, the stairs were narrow, made of wood, and all in all not to sturdy. Makes one wonder how they get things down there in the first place! L. | ||

You hit a grand slam, Jim!
1st base- Lady Kenmore 2nd base- Coppertone 3rd base- Roto flex and the Slam--SUDS RETURN YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAY--ALL THE WAY HOME !!! The roto flex is so rare and elusive; no one would part with it, but if someone would loan it out for a week, --we still don't know which members have one--I could make a video showing its action from an empty tub all the way to full, using the Visi-matic, with the roto constantly flexing through out the whole fill Congratulations, Frigman Jim. You and Lou will be so happy. It's a dream machine for me too. I once rented a place called the Fleckenschteen with an Avacado Lady, but yours is the VERY FIRST machine I've seen with a suds-return. Never knew they made them. So lucky. Good for you. Mike | ||
