David - That's a Penta-Vane agitator, a large capacity version of the straight-vane essentially. It was used 1973-1986. It is a bit more 'refined' than a straight-vane, basically not as splashy, or as much like spanking your laundry with a ping-pong paddle as the straight-vane is.
Retropia - The early to mid 70s had feature-laden models. Yes, for a 500 series the dryers were traditionally timed-dry only, but this one does indeed have wrinkle-guard and auto-termination dry. The dryer up from this one had a full-width door and an electronic sensor, but this is a very nice pair for a 500. That was rectified the next year, as the 60/600 series was far less than these - timed dry only, and a one-speed washer. Gordon | ||

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU JON!
Jon, your help is very much appreciated with this set!
Today Jon went to look at the machines for me, and paid the seller. I had overnighted the money to Jon and I had worked that out with the seller yesterday, and Jon graciously was willing to help. Thanks again Jon! I've always appreciated this era Kenmore, and I think this set may well wind up in my house laundry room, where only two belt-drives have graced before. Too cool Jon. Can't say it enough - THANKS! Gordon | ||
