It had been a pretty long day, so we had a late supper in Ogden; Phil left to return to his place and despite the excitement, I did manage to sleep...
But on Sunday, I took advantage of the sunny, warm day to check out the dishwasher! Look familiar? Yep - it's a 1965 Lady Kenmore like the one that became the 'Roto-Rack with a View' dishwasher that Robert expertly re-engineered AND like the never used 220v model that Kevin(revvinkevin) bought from a storage unit and which John (combo52) has now!

Ok, last post for tonight - the name plate and model number isn't all that clear, but this Lady's numbers are: model 110 6504901100 serial 80471C542
I found a tag on the machine to confirm that this is a 1965 model! There is a matching dryer to "mate" with the lady... I am going to have to do some legwork for that though!!

OH GOD Two beautiful ladies indeed. I sat with held breath seeing the Turk from behind, wondering what year she would be. Bingo. The Gem. How I'd love to have extra-slow for stuff that I want to keep forever but needs only a freshening. And a ROTOFLEX. I am truly green with healthy envy. Good for you, Paul--good for you! | ||

1965 LKM Washer WOW Paul the 1965 LKM washer and dryer was a great example of high well designed style, it was always one of my all time favorite styles from Sears. I hope you get the matching dryer, but at least you got the hard to find machine. And yay another rebuilding project, you and Phil can bring it along on your next trip to Maryland. The 1960s KMs and WPs are much easier to rebuild than the 1956 WP was,but it should be gone completely over to replace seals and arrest any corrosion that is always present in a washer of this age. Your serial # shows that this machine was built in WPs Clyde Ohio plant on the 42nd week of 1965. [ still by far the worlds largest automatic washer factory ] | ||

 Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ! What a great score, loving the dishwasher now you can exchange the GE mobil made Chris would like that it's quieter lol. Kenmore design at it's BEST I alway's loved that machine I was going to pick up one in philly my friend had but did not work out by the time I got my buds together to get it and to break it down, and THEY MOVED. Ha my luck at times lol. It was a mess anyway just at this point wanted parts, Gary is right about the buttons be careful . ROTO-FLEX AGITATOR is my faverite and one of a kind design. ROTO-RACK both in Turquiose was ment to be. So happy for you with the washer ! Paul enjoy them both, can't wait to see where you put the washer !

OOPS! For the record, the avocado dishwasher I got here is NOT the same as Robert's 'RotoRack with a View' model - not even close!
My apologies for the confusion...
It is the same as the 220v model though. Getting old does things to one's brain... LOL
Oh, and I made the mistake of telling hubby about the viewing door Robert built - he took off looking for the chainsaw and was SOOOO disappointed when I said no... | ||

Back for more! Reply 26~ STUNNING! --The close-up of the telephone book tabs. Agree with Gary's point about how delicate and fine they look. Imagine if the double tab for Spin Only had the last one for Suds instead. I'd need oxygen.
To Jon's point: this may have been the first year for the extra slow option.; all the Keyboard's have it. Was lucky enough to experience extra slow for 2 years. Was so much fun warping the speeds up and down from hi to extra slow, and staying there for the not-really-dirty clothes to loll in the gentle bath.
About you looking so good: You must have been beautifying to properly receive these glorious queens. Hyacinth would be so envious. | ||

Mickey -
Actually the '64 Lady K was the first year of the three speed machine, and the first year of the 900 series. Previous Ladies (1963 and before) had been two speed 800s, and that is one of the things that distinguished most 800s from initial 900 models in later years. Its remarkable how few of the '64 model we see, and so many of the '65. Sears made a huge deal about the '65 Lady K in ads and in their catalogs, as they debuted the Roto-Flex agitator. Paul - That is one AWESOME looking washer!!! Congratulations, I hope it works out great. It looks to be in remarkable condition. The dishwasher looks almost unused. Fantastic, I wish you the very best of luck with both machines! Gordon | ||

Dang! Born a year too early
The 63 is not only the last LK without 3 speeds, but also has the last center post that won't accept the Rotoflex or Variflez, Holy Grail Agitators for me. Oh well, sometines ya win, sometimes ya lose, and I can dream about a trade some day, but who likes this one better than the 64 or 65? They are so much more beautiful.

Paul Here is the machine that I tried to rescue a few years back. I think this is the one for the motor that I could not get after they left. But as you can see the buttons which Gary talked about they all almost have gone. In the thread below you can see why you can't or should not hit the button from the tip top.
Thanks just excited you got that washer and in your color.

Thank you all!! This is all very exciting - but also somewhat frustrating because the washer and dishwasher are both down in Ogden and I won't get to play until the weekend!
I can't wait to get some water in both machines, but alas, because they are stored in a unheated building (for now), that's going to be a couple of weeks off.
I did a very brief spin test with the washer - the motor ran, the basket spun, but I thought I heard some unhappy noises (possibly due to belt slippage but I am not certain of that) so I shut it off. I think this machine may be visiting Beltsville for a once-over... LOL
I must admit that I am going to be focused on how to get the matching turquoise dryer - please don't let me forget that I have to pick up a couple of dishwashers still... LOL
Oh and the subject of 'appliance neutral' acquisitions was raised by hubby... However he did not agree that getting rid of the 2001 MagicNorgeChefTags in the city to be replaced with either the 60s Maytag set OR the 56 Whirlpools was the way to accomplish this... Fortunately he's lost count of the the dishwashers.... | ||

love your pics
paul! that lady kenmore dishwasher is beautiful! it does look like it had a charmed life! probably won't need a rebuild at all! seals are still plentiful if it does! i buy em on e bay for 2.99 each!
the only thing i have found on my kenmore dishwashers is that the supply tube to the top spray tube gets brittle and cracks with age. this has happened on 2 of my machines and a replacement tube is a ridiculous price of around 60 bucks on "part select.com". hopefully yours is not brittle yet! it is a very classy looking machine and in avacado, my fav! the washer is fabulous too, never seen so many buttons! i'm glad you finally got a turquoise washer that you wanted! enjoy them!!! have fun!!! | ||
