Definitely a beautiful machine. Family friends had one and I was lucky enough to be at their house once when it was being used. I recall being amazed at how quiet it was compared to our 1960 Model 80. Also thought the adjustable agitator was very cool. Can imagine how much pressure must have been exerted on those little adjustable fins, especially with a full, heavy load.

My unreliable memory keeps recalling the introduction of this design as the first Lady Kenmore offered in the new shaded tawny gold. Possibly today's pic was in the spring catalog and the gold models rolled out in autumn of the same year? I also don't recall whether the agitation during that enzyme soak was brisk or gentle.

Nothing else on the market at this time was as loaded with features and conveniences at this price point. |
