WOW.... VERY NICE!
Oh a Sudsy saver... I think I know who is going to DROOL all over these and grab them when you are ready to turn them loose (hint: He's just across Lake Michigan from you)
OR.... Robert, can you and Fred put them in your carry-ons when you come out in a few weeks??

Robert,
Of course it's going to be a suds-saver seeing it is from a Minneapolis or even a Minnesota estate. Did you think that those thrifty Germans and Scandanavians would let all that hot water and detergent go to waste after just one wash? NOT!!! Does the suds return appear to be functional?
Great find!

I assume it does, the suds valve works fine.

Sounds like you need to keep this machine, and experience the joys of suds-saving.

Just once, just for me
Return the suds and I'll never ask again.

Robert already has a suds saver. The 1957 pink Lady K will save suds. That said, I don't seem to remember a laundry tub sitting next to it though....
Filter Light
This seems be a feature that Kenmore put on their machines in the mid-60s. If I remember correctly, it is wired to light whenever the agitate wig-wag solenoid is engaged. For those who may not know, whenever that solenoid is engaged it pushes the agitate cam into place which also flips the pump direction lever to recirculate water (if the machine has a filtering provision).

Self-Cleaning Kenmore with Filter Light
Yes the light was on when ever the washer agitate solenoid was energized, the light was a great way to show off this Great Feature. The only time that the light was a lie was when the suds water was being returned to the machine on SS models, as the light was on but the returning suds water was not being filtered as it was came back into the washer. The true back-wash SCFs were first installed on the 1958 LKMs and continued till the last belt drive KMs and WPs on some models [ only suds-saver machines on most models built after 1981 ]. This was by far the most effective filtering EVER used on any automatic washer, far surpassing the well known GE FF machines.
There was only one other TL washer that had a filter as effective as these WP built washers and it was a GE machine, it was GEs first automatic washer and Robert has the only one in existence. It is his 1947 GE that my brother Jeff and I rescued over 35 years ago and I traded it to Robert for a Westinghouse Combo that I gave to Jeff.

Those really are sharp machines. I love Coppertone. There is something about a black agitator and that scrubber cap that really brings me back to the basics in my washer enjoyment. It's neat to know that such nice vintage machines are still out there to be enjoyed.
I hope you enjoy them Robert, then I hope too that the next club member likes them as well!

I'd be curious to see how the console looks with the backlit dial lit up. Is the agitator plastic or bakelite? If plastic, I am betting that although a 1965 model, this was built in 1967; the only year of the plastic black Super Rotoswirl. Same for the dryer. Both the 1965 70/700 alphabet washer, and the 1965 800 were prolific models which continued through 1968. If what I am saying is right, how funny is it that someone buying a washer and dryer in 1967 would randomly pick out two 1965 models?
Congtats on the wonderful finds.

I have the parts list for that dryer..
...if you need it. I can scan it into a .pdf or mail it. I'd post the .pdf on here but I don't know how. The model number on the list says 110.650881 and it looks identical to this one although you say it's a model 800. I'm not sure if that's the same or not.

Nice scrubber cap! Very nice pair, I don't think I've ever seen this washer outside of a catalog before - love the coppertone!
Ugh, what a great looking set, in coppertone to boot! Greg is right, nice scrubber cap on this one, and the wash basket is just MINT.
