1970's machine is my guess, or LATE 1960's. Thought one of y'all might be interested! CLICK HERE TO GO TO westytoploader's LINK on Tucson Craigslist |

It's a late 60s machine. I think that white under the control panel is a light. |

I don't think it can be confirmed that this model has a light without contracting the seller, knowing the model number and referencing tech or sales literature, or direct examination of it. One of my dad's aunts had a 1970s avocado Whirlpool similar to this. I was just *sure* it had a light and the bulb had burned out. I figured out how to get the panel open, and no light or even sockets for one. Notice that the timer dial is yellowed. That could be an indication of the effects of heat over time from an incandescent backlight just for the timer. My grandparents Supreme 80 had a timer backlight like that. Or it could be deterioration from sunlight or normal aging. |
