Since I can only hook up about 5 machines at once, I have been trying to move a set in (and out) each month to use. These I bought from Jimmy a few years back. They are from 66 and just beautiful.
Feb set of the month

And one of the tub....
I am getting better about posting pics, Now I automatically take one of the tub as I usually get asked for one later!

Ooo, nice digs you got there Don! I can't wait to take a look at those in a few weeks. Maybe we'll even be able to swap in your 'new' set - hehe!

Love the detergent cup over the Scrubber Cap. Our '60 didn't come with one, but I appropriated one from a discarded KM and took it home. A beautiful set; thanks for the pics.
I'd like to see some detail shots of the control panels. Familiar ... but slightly different. The cycle description tags are spaced a bit further apart.
Awesome don. Yes, please detailed pics of the panels. I have never seen this set at all, even when I was a kid.

Oh, those are really nice looking 'Kenmo's. What a great set!
The two levers on the console---is one for water level and the other for suds-saving?

Close ups...
This is a very flexible machine, you can choose any speed combination you want! Auto is pre programmed, but you can override the pre set speeds with the right hand dial.

The ABC's of Kenmore
Interesting to compare the years and how the letters meant different cycles. A was always Cotton Linen White, and B most of the time was Cotton Linen Colored-The rest changed all the time. You can also bypass the preset temps and have a cold rinse or cold wash and rinse.

Don, fabulous set; I don't think I've seen the 1966 model Kenmores on here. Yours are just stunning! What is the model designation of these?
don, is this an 800 or 900 or don't really know. It's probably right below the LK. Can I see the dryer too please?
Boy Don does that set ever bring back memories. My parents bought this set new in 1966. Ours were in coppertone. My favorite set that they ever had. Replaced in 1978 with another Sears set. They never had one service call on them until the washer died. Thanks so much for sharing these.
Very kewl!
My aunt's Kenmore 800 (that's what I call it, but there was no specific labeling) was very close to this, but a couple years later. Same control layout for water level, cold water selections, and speed. The cycle order was different, and it had a 3-speed motor.

Dryer Dial
Always wondered why it didn't match the washer dial!

Don, I agree. I remember seeing this dryer & LK similar variants with this type of "dial" and didn't match the washer's dial. Thought it was stupid. And thank you for the pics. Does this drum's bulkhead rotate or is it stationary?

Hi Don
What a fine looking set, and plenty of options as well, love those play & wash combinations!!!
The panel looks like a textured weave is it glass in front?? I like how all these different styles of machines are being found, so many unique collections...
Cheers, Mike

are you sure they are a '66?
My parents had that EXACT washer and I'm certain that it was a '68. It was replaced in 1980 by a DAA Kenmore, which was replaced by a Hotpoint, which was replaced by a new Kenmore Elite. I remember the work my dad and I did on it. Belts, wig-wag, cracked softener dispenser.
