This one has that control panel that reminds me of a 58 Frigidaire. Bet it looks great after a bath! | ||

Mystery solved Those control dials remind me exactly of the controls on mom's dryer when she had the ABC-O-Matic washer. I would have never guessed that dryer to be a Kenmore, But this washing machine controls convince me of it. The main dial of the dryer matched this exactly. Very cool find ! Thanks for sharing ! | ||

Ewwwww, that is one nastyass looking machine! And the neighborhood doesn't look that great, either! Geez, if Robert found it today and already did two loads of laundry, either A) it cleaned up REALLY easily or B) Robert needs to raise his standards! ;) Please, oh please, let there be some after pictures. Otherwise, I'm going to have nightmares over that tub! | ||

Calm down Veg (:
Oh that old Kenmore will clean up just great. With a paint job to the lower cabinet it will look just fine. I guess while they are doing all that they prolly will knock the mud out of the spin basket too... LOL! Great find guys!! It really shows how durable things were made back then,that it still works fine after sitting out like that. Rick | ||

Kool Kenmore! I`m like Veg, This one should get the dirtiest washer award! I`m sure you guys will have it looking like new in notime. But what about those stairs behind it? Are they up to code! | ||

UPDATE!!! Roanoke Robert has replaced the belt and the pump just for good measure! Here is the machine washing a load of clothes. Cosmetically has not yet been restored, but is in process. Will update when complete. Mark

Great Kenmore
What a great machine that was, I remember it well and it cleaned up nicely. When growing up the neighbor 2 houses up the street had that very same machine. I grew up with the matching dryer, and it had like 6 heat settings and an ozone lamp to boot, worked really well too. Enjoy it, the lighted dial looks great in the dark.
