Nice! Those are 1976 models likely built in 1977. Glad I have a few of these already. Lol

1st generation of the new black console with the center timer dial--the rinse option & soak/soak to wash option were seprate knobs. The next generationconsolidated those functions into one knob.

I can just imagine how many sets you are up to at this point. But I understand, it's good to have a spare 1970s Kenmore washer dryer set in the color of your choosing. Never know when the need may arise.

I have most of the colors in various models. It’s funny that I have 4 sets of the 1976 Kenmores like the ones posted for sale here and 3 of them are avocado. The one set that is white was built in early 1976 and the other 3 avocado sets were built in 1977 albeit being 1976 models.

The closest I got to those was a 1977 coffee color LK washer that I bought in 2005 from a guy who was selling his fathers items in Connecticut. The washer was in good condition and worked. I had to drive about 2 hours from Mass. to Connecticut to pick it up and he had it in garage filled with stuff he was trying to sell.

About a year before that I had found the top of a harvest gold LK 1977 dryer on Ebay. It was the entire control panel, the wiring, and the actual top and lint filter. It came from Oklahoma or Texas.

I can only imagine your collection. It must be heavenly there. lol.
