Belt drive Kenmore washer + Whirlpool Dryer

[DigAPony]

Looks like a BD Kenmore washer and Whirpool gas dryer.

Interesting about the dryer, it appears to have a little pocket behind the control panel for an instruction manual.

Asking price is firmly in bargain territory as well.

Looks like they got the idea for the Bac-Pak from Westinghouse. Our '55 Laundromat had the "Laundrofile" in a hard plastic cover in the back.

"Laundrofile" is certainly a much nicer name than "Bac-Pak". The latter sounds like something intended for high-school kids, while the former sounds like what we are: Laundrophiles!

The file-feature debuted on the LDA series (1976), of which is the the dryer in the ad (below for archives).

KM 90 Series

Not a LK. It is 1 model down from the LK. Main differences are the LK has triple dispenser and 2 layer white porcelain tub. Nonetheless a beautiful machine and we don't see many of them.
