S'gorgeous. Where is Auburn? (it would be CA. wouldn't it?)
Do any of you Kenmores have an idea what a money shot would look like? Would this machine have that weird Panty-Swirl agitator? I'm so tempted.

This is the "2nd generation": of the Kenmore 800 like my parents got in 1970. this is like 1972 or 1973. Super RotoSwirl; the major differences are cosmetic--missing the medal handle on the lid and now the notched lid; the "auxiliary" knobs were now pointing to graphis on the control panel rather than mniaturized versoin of the big timer knob with the plastic little dial. Electronic sensor dryer with 3 temps; Wrinkle Guard III. 3rd from LK.
Auburn
A (Harvest) Gold Country town about 45 miles north of Sacramento on I-80.
Handsome machines and nicely priced. Too bad they didn't provide money shots.

Dan, they're calling you...
They're saying "Dan, come to the Kenmore side of the force. The neutral drain system wants you..." LOL!
A nice looking set at first blush but I'd want to see what sins lurk under their skirts...

I always like to see the pics. Lots of buttons and dials here, I wish I could see the controls close up.

Is this a lighted control set?
I love the way the white stands out on the timer when the light is on!

Yes it is....
1972-73 Kenmore Model 800 Set...
The first ones without the curved arched metal handles on the washer lid and dryer door. And the first ones with notched lid and door.
Like "Appnut" said.... #3 in the Kenmore line that year, and two steps below the Lady Kenmore set.

I had a washer like this which was a 1973 model - in Avocado, that was part of trailer full that were stollen from me a few years back. That is one of the machines I would have enjoyed tinkering with.
These are 800 models. Hard to say for sure just how many models under the Lady K this is - it depends how many were active when these were made. Sears had the 800 that was patterned after the '66 Lady K just below the Lady K, then several 800s from '69, '72 and '73 all at the same time that looked similar to this one.
I have a money shot from the machine I had - I'll find it in the archives and post it here, though this machine could have a Roto-Swirl OR a Vari-Flex, we'd have to see the model number for sure.

Here's the one I had - at least I have some pics of it. Model 110.7304811.
gnarly money shot. I am fairly sure there was a Vari-Flex model during this time as well.

Full Featured Bliss
This is a great full featured set. And the fact that they are a SET makes it that much better. A prize for any club member.

It looks like the posting is down, I sure hope someone in the group got these and if so, I hope they post lots of pics. Our next door neighbor had this washer and I always loved sneaking into their garage when the machine was all lit up and running. Beautiful set!!
