This one turned up today, in Chicago. I'm not sure of the year, but am guessing late 70's maybe? I drove to Anniston, AL this past Saturday (about 1 hour east of Bham) and found a similar one in a used appliance business. The one that I found had a copper/bronze backplate on the console. Same black "padded" hood, same timer/switch placement, same lamp over the timer, but a copper/bronze backplate in lieu of the black backplate that this one has. Never seen one like that before! Was actually somewhat tempting, just from a novelty standpoint. Lawrence CLICK HERE TO GO TO Pulltostart's LINK on eBay |

Those with the copper face are maybe TOL's. Not sure what the significance of the odd color but you don't see many around anymore. Could be somewhat rare. |

This particular rendition of the center dial LK wasn't around for a whole lotta years. The unusual abou it is there's a separate little knob for optional rinse as well as a knob for the soak only or soak to wash option. The later versions combined these two knob's functions into one knob. The 3-knob version was a response to Sears cost-cutting measure.

Thank You Appnut for explaining the extra knob. I should have read all the posts first. Instead I looked at the pictures for 10 minutes trying to figure it out. All the ones I remember had the combined "cycle modifier" is what I think they called it. Ed |

Those numbers sound like motor rpm's, not spin speeds. |

Wouldn't an LK of this vintage automatically be an electronic control machine? |

For a few years Sears called the electronic control model the "Limited Edition". Ed |
