Guys, toward the end of that style of control panel, Sears started putting the DD mechanism in 70 Series model washers. I had a friend of mine I used to work with here who had one of those. Freaked me out when I opened the lid and saw the difference. Even more so when I turned it on to spin and heaerd the "clank" of the coupler engaging at spin rather than the krr-grint of the wig wag for a belt drive. The time was around 1984 or 1985.

Kevin - That is a direct drive washer. Quite a few 60 and 70 series black panel direct drive models were made between 1983 and 1986 with the old-style belt-drive control panels. 24-inch belt-drive models were still in production as well (ramp-up of the DD). The easiest way to tell a 24-inch BD from a DD from this era is to look at the size of the lid. A belt-drive's lid is smaller than the direct-drive's, with the DD's lid taking up nearly the entire top. Gordon |
