Avocado Green Kenmore Set in Norfolk, VA

[classiccaprice]

'60s Kenmore set locally. Thought somebody might be interested. A little much on price, but perhaps they could be talked down.

Not a bad looking set. Price is a bit high, but not outrageous, if they work.

Yuk Martin!

But, no, I like this set, and if it found it's way to Charlotte the machines could have free room and board, but I think there are AW.orgers who are more interested in these than I am.

There are about 8 or so Kenmores that I have yet to find which I would run toward with little regard for bug smashing (break out the goggles!), but this pair doesn't feel like one of those right now.

As I've said before, I done got enough for now...

Oh yeah...

To be precise, I think the machines are 1968 800s. The original iteration of this washer had the Roto-Flex, later updates had the Vari-Flex I do believe.

These are indeed 1968 800s, and were very flexible models. The auxiliary dial regulated speed, and the two levers controlled water level and temperature. The later Vari-Flex agitator version featured only one lever for temperature control, and the auxiliary dial became the level selector. The speed option must have become a cycle selection in the alphabet.

Andy: I do not believe the alphabet panels light up. That probably would be overkill as the console light on this model overhangs like a bonnet, illuminating both panels sufficiently.

Kevin: Good job in finding a set of these in avocado.

Kevin: Thanks for archiving so these don't fade away when the ad expires.

I like them, if only they were 5 years older... I made a rule no appliance after 1963! I still would like a Maytag A700 set. Those lighted controls... drool... That said I hope someone saves them.

"Well then! I'll PayPal you full price right now," hah hah...LOL...surely only a few miles is meant by that statement. Hope everybody @AW has a great weekend!
