It has seen better days, but again - backup for parts?
AD Reads: "Nothing like vintage Sears gear, yall! The dryer works just fine, but the washer needs rotator maintenance. Other than that, this pair of classic beauts are chuggin like it's 1977." CLICK HERE TO GO TO ovrphil's LINK on San Francisco Craigslist |

somebody has gone and switched out one of the control dials on the dryer. Perhaps it was the temp control dial. The one there certainly doesn't belong to that machine. |

This set looks a lot like the one my Aunt Eloise got when they built their new house in '71. |

Are you referring to the far left knob that is all chrome? If I was to guess, I thought it was the other one (pictured)

Yes, the left-side auxiliary knob on the dryer (presumably Air/Heat) is the wrong style. The water level on my grandmother's 1970 KM 70 broke and the replacement was for the 800-model ... was indexed properly to match the level control and worked fine but didn't fit the console -- literally, as the 800 has a recess into which the knob(s) fit.
