Hey all,
Check out my new 800! Isn't she a beauty. I have the set in white, but I could resist a nice color change. I kind of think this is the prettiest control panel Kenmore had in the 60s. Does anyone have any leads on a matching washer? I figure it doesn't hurt to ask. Thanks everyone! |

Really nice! One of my aunts had one like that in Coppertone, but the control panel was different - no light. |

And the washer that goes with it was a very good practical model as well. Whirlpool Kenmore head by far the best shaded Coppertone color. In my opinion the shading blended better. It wasn’t such a harsh difference as with most brands between the edge color and the main color of the body.
Kenmore had a lot of good looking machines and a lot that weren’t so great. Looks like it was well taken care of given how much use it head judging by the drum ware. It will restore nicely that’s for sure. John |
