Could anyone tell from the picture if there was a detergent dispenser on the side of that lid? I see what looks like a shadow, but can't tell.

Detergent dispenser, yes. One of the toggle switches on the panel is for Second Rinse, the other is for automatic advance from soak to Normal cycle (or soak only).

So, what'dya know...
These just somehow managed to find their way south a bit today from Auburn, CA to south of Sacramento. They just might be coming to Chartlotte eventually too,

Hawt Dayam!! I'm thrilled Gordon!!! The rendition that was what I grew up with was the POD on the 10th or 11th I believe.
KM 800 Pair
Congratulations Gordon, I always loved this pair, it did everything you needed a washer to do and quietly also. I have really good customer of mine that had this pair until just a few years ago in white, she finally replaced them about four years ago with a new KM DD washer and KM matching dryer.

Aferim!
Glad you got them. Can't wait to see the money shots; does anybody have an idea what kind of agitator is in there? I still would love a huge Kenmore agitator thread.

Nice set, Gordon, congrats. Was thinking of you last night as I was installing a Super-Surgilator in my '68 Kenmore, I couldn't take the Roto-Dizzy any longer LOL!
Ken, it's a gold Super RotoSwirl

The harem grows...
I wondered if you'd get them, Gordon. Very nice. Does this mean the little 24" washer's days in the ready line are numbered or does it still have a special place there?

Bob, Jeff, John, Ken, Greg, and Andy...
Thanks so much for the replies! Bob, your e-mail was a RIOT! I wish it were that simple for me, lol.
When I first saw these online, I tried to ignore them for a few days, then when the ad stayed up, I called the seller two weekends ago. VERY nice folks they are, and that may have clinched it right then. They are a couple who bought the older home in Auburn, CA from a very long-time owner and now elderly gentleman. He lived there by himself for many years, so the machines apparently have not laundered for a big family, etc. He was probably the original owner of these machines. They came with the house, and as so often happens, the new buyers wanted something more "up to date" -- I didn't even ask what that is. This same scenario is how I got my coppertone 1965 Ladies too.
The price was cheap, and being western machines, they look very un-rusted and well preserved. I figured I had to rescue the machines, which is bit unusual right now, because I've not been in a collecting (or should I say "add to the hysteria" mood). I called my hauler, and he was going to be in the area and driving right past our plant in CA, so it just came together.
I'm not sure if I'll be "married" to this set long term, but time will tell. They may really get me when I see them, or I may be willing to trade if someone has a desire for these. In the interim, they are rescued, and now 'in the family', so to speak. So that's great at least.
Thanks again, I'll let you all know when they arrive in Charlotte. I am still under that self-imposed ban from bringing anything new home, at least until I finish lingering projects.

p.s. Andy - "does this mean the 24-incher's days are numbered as an active machine?" REALLY? Um, no....I really enjoy that machine, in part because its a neat Kenmore, and because its in such nice shape, but also because of how I got it, so no, it's in the house rotation indefinitely.
