That is too cool Greg! What is the story? It is so cool that you and Robert found a unused Kenmore very close to one another. Love the instructions! You followed them well! Thanks for the pictures! Brent | ||

I've had about 4 of these models back in 1981ish, when I first started refurbishing appliances. Most in avacodo and with a sudsaver, but NONE were as beautiful and I'm sure as functional, as yours. | ||

This is the set from Craigslist - Long Island, NY. The seller didn't give any history of this set and had come down on the price from a few months back when they first appeared for sale so I decided that new, never used machines from the 60's don't come along every day...and here they are! This is the 67 Lady Kenmore dryer as I pulled it from the YouCrate container.

That classy looking washer will last a good 30 years or more with only minor repairs if that. That plastic filter thing in the rear corner developed a leak on my mom's machine and the replacement part was entirely re-designed, but I suspect you've got 10-15 years at least before you'd have to worry about that. Glad it ended up in a loving home, and the dryer is a beauty too.

WOW Greg!! So these are the ones you told me about awhile back! Both brand new. That is something, that people purchase these things and let them sit around for 40-50+ years. Just makes no sense to me, but it sure is nice to be able to see them as they were brand new, back in the day. The new washer smell is something that one can only hope to experience. Wonder if I will ever get my turn to hit that?? <: | ||

thanks everyone - it's fun to have people to share them
Thanks for the link to the original story on these - good to know. I'd forgotten that the seller had posted that, there are more of these out in the world - we just haven't found them yet. It was a bit extravagant, but we have only one life to live and as Roger always says, I won't spend my dying breath worried about money already spent! Inside the little brown bag that was stapled shut was the 2 prong plug adapter, grounding wire and clips and the front legs for the washer. I didn't use the grounding wire as I'm using a grounded outlet so I'll keep the bag and shipping bolts and foam blocks safely tucked away. I'll try my hand at video(s) this week and see what I can come up with... | ||

Oh Greg... Lucky you! They're stunning. I wish you could bottle and ship that new appliance smell from the '60's. M. | ||

Wow Greg, that is the EXACT washer I grew up with from 1969-1978. I remember going to Sears with my dad to pick out a new washer and (I was five) and this was the machine he picked. I remember him saying to my mom that it was on sale. It was delivered on a morning in December 1968. I still remember the new washer smell in the basement for weeks after it was delivered. I was so excited to see a low water level wash, our old Kenmore didn't have a water level selector, so this was exciting. Unfortunately the first time my mother did a small load using low I was being punished (can't remember what I did this time) and I wasn't allowed in the basement lol. Oh the torture! | ||

Greg---Wow, what a haul! I can't believe all the new old machines that are popping up. Thank god for people who buy appliances and never use them. Little did they know how much a particular subset of the population would appreciate that decades into the future. Congrats! Robert--- I had to laugh, because when I was little, the only punishment that really worked on me was being banned from the laundry room so I couldn't play with the washer. Our poor parents! Can you imagine what they must have thought, knowing that little Johnny next door responded to not being able to go out to play baseball, while we were crushed if we couldn't play with the appliances. | ||
