...that is...if the drum volume is the same as the 60's models, which is the same as the ones from the 70's. I remember helping my grandmother shop for one when I was a kid, and that's what the Sears catalog said about their standard capacity dryers. A friend of mine also has a 1965 Kenmore dryer that's still going with only a couple of repairs...she's quite proud of it. Other than the control panel, it's very similar to the late 70's model in my grandmother's house (which is still going strong with only one minor repair). |

the back of my '64 Kenmore 70 High speed drum is enclosed, with grated holes that rotate with the dryer drum, the heating box and exhaust fan are BEHIND the enclosed back portion of the drum. To me, the drum itself, seems narrower, not as deep as the 5.9cu.ft large capacity drums that are common now days. Am I wrong? Rich |

They didn't rate lb. capacity by the time I got interested, but I do remember that the large capacity machines from that era were about 3" deeper than the standard capacity machines and had an advertised 6.9 cubic ft. drum. The salesman at Sears showed me the difference between the two back in 1980 when my granny bought her dryer. Her dryer is the large model and has that little ?outcrop? of about three inches from the back. The standard capacity dryers didn't has that little extra bit of space and were advertised as 5.9 cubic ft. Evidently, my friend's dryer is a 1965 model or so. Would love to see a pic of a 50's or pre 65 model. :-) |
