Belt driven Kenmore not at all bad.......
When I was hanging around with my washer sales lady at Sears, she showed me a belt driven Kenmore( the Lady Kenmore of course) with all of my favorate electronics godies....when the program was up to the neutral drain,....it was like music to my ears..........really.......for me,i thought that it was a choir singing,it was such a beautiful machine......even when it was draining out the water..........I was so sure that it was the next best thing to sliced wonder bread......I like your dream aout the Jukebox.........very nice metaphor.........
