Those towels look spanking, sparkling clean. Jane Wyatt would be so proud!!! I've never known a Kenmore that had the detergent dispenser flush during rinse--and I"m not talking about the later triple dispers found on the last of the keyboard LKs either. Our Kenmore 800 did do that nor have I seen any other LK do that with the bleach & fabric softner dispensers located on the front left. Beautiful set and thanks for the pics. How did the dryer do?

Beautiful! Those pictures were awesome. I was also surprised that this Lady had water flush through the detergent dispenser just as Appnut said. I also did not think a Kenmore model with the seperate fabric softener dispenser would need to do this. You did a fantastic job restoring it. Have a good one, James | ||

Why didn't you have spin pictures? That is a very fancy washer if it has detergent, softener, and bleach dispenseres. | ||

Now THAT ....
....Is a WASHING MACHINE. The '65 Lady K pair is the only set that would tempt me to switch from centre-dial 'Tags or a Maytag 906 pair. I had the Lady K washer back in about 1980, but never did find the dryer. Sold the washer, and have regretted it ever since. Somewhere in the Collections pages is the ultimate - a Lady K pair of this vintage in glorious turquoise. I occasionally run across the pic on my hard drive and begin drooling. You're a lucky boy! | ||

Just a Thought:
The more I look at this pair of Lady Ks, the more I'm taken back in time. One of my high-school teachers used to sponsor student events that were held at her parents' house; they were quite wealthy people. Their kitchen was outfitted with the latest and greatest Kenmore everything, in coppertone. Off the kitchen, there was a laundry alcove, equipped with this identical pair. The kitchen was papered in a brown/cream/red plaid, even on the ceiling. For the late '60s, it was some punkins. I had a thought about your timer cam drum, based in experience with broken gears in Volvo speedometers. Plastic parts of this kind can be machined to order; Delrin is the usual plastic of choice for the purpose. It costs a bloody fortune, but it can put an obsolete part back into existence. While you're good for right now, this might be a good thing to remember if you run into repeat trouble (God forbid!) later on. Any good machine shop should be able to advise you on this. However, when I said expensive, I wasn't kidding - it would be in the hundreds for something like that, because it's all precision work, much of it done by hand. A Lady K matched pair would be worth it, though. | ||

Oh what a beautiful washer. Just wondering, with all the agitation at the bottom,how would this washer handle a really heavy load like jeans or a comforter? | ||

Man, this washer is one beautiful piece of work. The dryer is sweet too. Its hard to believe that manufacturers use to put so much mechanical detail into their machines. | ||

So nice to see you again, Mister Normal ;>
You helped me get that forbidden shot of the Kelvi post-overflow rinse. Thanks for providing cover. Can't believe you have the dream machine. I would have talked your ear off even more, had you mentioned the Holy Grail Kenmore, with a Suds-Saver, no less. So how do you like a taste of heaven on earth, Mister Frigiman? You can't post a pic of the most coveted agitator in existence without a lenghty dissertation or a video. I've heard that the clothes skate to the center post and fly down, As far as I know, no one has the Rotoflex in operation except you, Jim. So how 'bout a disseration, Baby!? ;'D Power fin won't do. Go for it! Your photos are fabulous. I can't be the only one drooling. | ||
