1960's Almost a Lady-K! $170

This is just down the street from me...if I wasn't getting one just like this from Combo52, I would offer them $50 for it..note the cracked plastic on the control panel and the worn finish on the drum

70's 'Garage Door' Lady K!

$50!...this looks very clean...and includes the drying rack! If I had the room and wasn't too lazy to make a 80 mile round trip today I'd be on this!

Dryer #1 is like early 1980s due to its "smaller" door to allow for installation in bi-fold doored laundry closets.  I may not be able to see something, but #2 may not be a LKI.  #3 is an 800 or 900.  Last dryer is LK from 1974.  Amazing thee dryer rack is still there.

#2 has the Sears Best and Lady Kenmore nameplate on it, though its hard to tell from the pic..back to the 80's with this one!

Neat dryers, especially dryer number two, it looks hardly used.

Dryer number one hails from Spring 1983 to Fall 1986. If we had a drum pic in the ad, I could give a closer date. The tan painted drums lasted until early 1985 or so, when the dura-white drum was introduced.

I really like dryer number two. It looks like it has been sitting a lot, as the drum looks unused, with no wear and a bit of surface rust. These don't get surface rust if they've used even infrequently.

Dryer number three looks incredibly well used, almost no drum or bulkhead paint left!!

Bob is right about dryer four, they don't seem to incude the dryer racks very often. I have a pair of these if anyone is interested. Just let me know.

#2 probably is from late 1970s.  Pushbutton moisture level / time selection was on Whirlpool's dryer match to the LFA series (1978-79) first electronic control washer.
