vintage GE portable washing machine
My parents had one of these in their coast house which came from a cousin. Fantastically reliable....just watch the lid hinges as they can crack and the timer may go.... ...if the timer goes, you just use it like a semi-auto. Fill and wash. Push timer in and advance to spin and start again and then do the process again for the rinse/s..... | ||

The Kenmore pair in the top picture are 1970 Model 60s, and in the 2nd picture you have an early 80s (1982?) Kenmore MOL washer paired with what appears to be a 500 series dryer. How lovely they look. Have a good one, James | ||

That first kenmore pair, that's the washer I picked out to replace the 64 Norge DispensoMat. I was so tired of preprogrammed pushbuttons, I wanted total flexibility and I felt this had enough featuers without going overboard (I knew I owuldn't get to pick out a Lady K). But my mom prevailed when she saw the 800, it had a bit more glitz to it and I think that's why she picked it. The washer above had timed bleach and agitator mounted FS dispenser. this one had enzyme presoak, preway, and the the other main cycles as well as 2nd rinse option for normal cycle.

Gold Kenhores
I think Bob is right - 700 series on the gold Kenmores. I had that washer (in white) for a while years ago after I sold my first townhouse. It didn't spin when I got it but a bent nail in the wigwag cured that problem and it worked perfectly. That was the second rinse switch on the left side. No light on the panel but for some odd reason, I always loved those timer dials - just the shape of them. IIRC, the 600 washer and dryer had the timer dial in the center of the panel with water temp and level knobs on each side of it but the same coloring and textures as the 700 shown. On lower end machines, the knobs were white.

I may be able to help a little bit here:
In the Spring/Summer 1974 catalog, slightly newer versions of those machines were available. They are upper 60/600 machines. The stock number is 22680, which means 1972 model, 60 or 600 series, 80 being the position in the line (a 22620 for example would be a less featured machine, lower in the line). That's probably the best 60-series they made at that time since few stock numbers ever went that high. It had a Roto-swirl, pre-soak and pre-wash, and a fabric softener dispenser, probably the permanent one that was part of the agitator cap. It does also have a second rinse option. Sears packed their MOL machines with features back then. The models in the catalog are slightly different in that the inset on the left of the panel was tan or taupe color, and some of that coloring was included around the control bezel. They also had the newer lid and door handle design of 1972. Since these aren't entirely identical, who knows if those machines had different model numbers or if the catalog shows just a later design drift. The machines were two years old in design by that time. But, if the catalog machines are any indication, we're looking at fancy 60/600-series machines. | ||

Oh, I forgot something....
On the same page of the catalog is the 700 series set, which is like the dryer in the thread that James refers to. The 700 series back then had lighted consoles, and the washer had an infinite water level, also a second rinse, the quiet belt, and a covered detergent dispenser up front in the right corner. FANCY for a 70/700. By 1976 many of the features of these machines were available only in the Lady K or 90-series models, and we were rapidly moving toward market focus on Large Capacity machines. | ||
