Well first, WELCOME TO AW.org, and thanks for posting.
If you can handle shipping from Charlotte and do your own clean-up, etc, I've got several machines in mind which could get you started. I have several late 1960s Kenmores that would appreciate being in your collection. I don't have much if any time right now to offer to refurb the machines before they ship, but if you'd like to do that yourself, contact me either on-site by e-mail or at my hotmail address and I'll tell you about what I have. In the meantime, the upper-cabinet blowers/short filters models were made until some point between late 1965 and 1966, though I don't know the exact conversion timing. These had belt-driven blowers, and the new style has a blower wheel mounted directly to the motor shaft at the base of the dryer. We call these "belt-drive blower" models and "direct drive blower" models. Some models which started out as belt-drive blower models were converted to the newer design, including the 1965 Kenmore 800 dryers. Again, welcome! Gordon |

The bridge tolls are highway robbery these days but I suggest venturing west of the Hudson river, the pickins' are slim for vintage machines on L.I. for some reason. |
