Wow! That is a nice washer. I like the Maytag-esque central timer dial.

I sold that same washer a few years ago. Only one I've ever seen in Coppertone

is it original?

 That machine looks like it has been painted. Three reasons I say this: I don't ever remember seeing anything other than a white dispenser on any Kenmore of that vintage, and this one is brown. The second reason: IIRC, Kenmore appliances that were anything other than white were "shaded". And the third: the white "spills" look more like bare places where the original white is coming through....(perhaps the original owner painted it to "match" a vintage Coppertone Kenmore dryer???)

Solid as Sears?

 It has been repainted...look at the edge of the inside of the lid. We had a '79 Kenmore 70 series washer in white, and the one in the ad is otherwise identical except for the paint job...in fact, when we won a Whirly in 1992 in a Tide sweepstakes, we gave the Kenmore to my niece, whom I believe is still using it today! The Whirly was replaced by a Maytag Performa five years ago...go figure...

My Childhood Washer As A Teenager....

 "Funguy10"

OH MY GOD!!!!!

That looks very much like one of my childhood washers that I have grew up with later in my childhood. We gotten ours in August of 1978 to replace a 1967 24" Kenmore Single Speed. It even had the same three water levels and five wash/rinse temperatures on it. And it was a two speed/four cycle machine with a sud saver on it. The only differences between this washer and the one that we actually used was that ours was indeed white (with no paintover job on the cabinet) and that ours had a white Penta-Swirl agitator inside of it with an agitator mounted fabric softener dispenser on top of it.

Oh..... But what memories.......
