Rob -
That is an enticing, however unusual set. I would love to know how they came to be combined. Here's what I can tell you. The 27751 model washer (in this case a 27754 because it's green) is a rare 1977 standard capacity Roto-Swirl equipped machine. Three levels (standard capacity machines from the mid-70s forward never had more than three levels with only one exception). The washer has an off-balance switch, and it came with an agitator mounted softener dispenser. GREAT washer. Black panel machines in standard capacity are rather rare. The machine has Normal, Perm Press, Knit/Delicate, and Pre-wash cycles, same as your grandparent's 24-inch. The dryer is a 1978 upper level 80-series large capacity. The 68841/78841 was the fanciest dryer they had prior to the 90 series. It has an automatic cycle with Wrinkle Guard II (I believe) and the electronic moisture sensor. Seldom did anyone match a standard washer with a large dryer unless people were just matching colors to what Sears had in stock, but a large dryer like this really did a WONDERFUL and quick job on a standard load. They dried fast and very wrinkle free due to the space available in the drum. Nice set - I think you'd enjoy them if they're still available. Gordon |

This set is giving me flashbacks of the Sears showroom floors during the late 70s. |

The seller e-mailed me this morning and said that these machines are in very good shape and work flawlessly. How cool, especially since they still have the manuals! I just may bite on this deal.... |
