1967 Kenmore portable washer

[jeff_adelphi]

Another 67 Kenmore portable found. In near perfect condition. The owner thought it was a pain to drag across the kitchen to use, so they used the coin-op wsshers in the condo. basement. It was only used 2 or 3 years. I hooked it up and it runs like a new washer.

The only thing It needs are new rubber lid bumpers.

I loved the BOL Kenmores

Wow - can't wait to see this. I had the (nearly) matching dryer, bought from Starvation Army when I bought my first house and the gas dryer there wouldn't light. $7 and a lot of cleaning lint from the drum mounted screen and it ran perfectly for years.

"Portable"

Is this different than the later BD Kenmore portable unit?

It's a beautiful machine by the way, all compliments on that little jewel!

My Aunt had the previous model which had 1 cycle and a black agitator. Real nice basic machine.

Have a good one,

Hey Jeff....

That's a GREAT find. That's the one I want as well. Some of us have all the luck, don't we????

Enjoy her when you finally have her hooked up.

And also.....

Jeff:

If you decide that you don't want to keep it, let me know something, okay??? I'll take it off your hands. We'll work out a deal or something. That will be MY washer then (the Whirlpool and LG Front Loaders will be tossed aside for sure).

Don't need a dryer. I'll just use the coin operated dryers around the corner in my neigborhood.

E-Mail address is "[email protected]" if you decide that you don't want to keep it.

Thanks.....

CORRECTION.......

James/70series.... for the record, I found the green portable like this one in the AZ "junkyard", not Gordon. He was there with me when I picked it up to bring it home.
