1967 Kenmore portable washer

[jeff_adelphi]

Yes this portable has the large lever on the back to raise or lower the casters.
This portable is much larger then the later style, both in cabinet size and tub size. The tub is only a little smaller then the standard size washers and the agitators are the same size.

I believe, though I am not 100% certain,

that the Whirlpool versions of this size/capacity machine were/are considered "convertible" . I have never seen a
Whirlpool that didn't have water level and wash/rinse
temp selection. I recall my next door neighbor in San Francisco had a slightly newer version of the Kenmore with
the level and temp selections; it was the "Lady Kenmore"
model. Shall Revvin , jeff_ , and frontal have a contest to see who completes the "rainbow" ?

I had the same machine for a while in the '80's. Gave it to my best friend to use. It stopped spinning, and we all know where it wound up.

The machine was immaculate. The only difference with mine had to do with the lint filter. It was the older version, black plastic with a slit in it where a chrome piece came out from and then you turned that piece to lock it in. The filter was the exact same one as on my grandmother's '63 full-size Kenmore.

Wish I had that machine and my grandmother's. Oh, well.

Awesome Find!

It is showroom fresh Jeff!
Fun!
Did they have the dryer, or were they just hanging out the clothes to dry?
I bet it even smells new when running!
Thanks for the pictures!
