The one with the control panel cover has always been one of my very favorite Sears machines. Notice how much newer almost everything is that is surrounding these units? LOL
Nice finds!
I saw a similar Kenmore flip front,but a dryer,in coppertone,in a scrapyard last week. It had the flip top front,but didn't have all the buttons.Also had a coppertone 800 series washer next to it.They wanted waaaayyy too much for them.

That Thin Twin still has the protective film over the control panel.

What years are the Kenmore's? How long was the veriflex agitator made I don't remember it? Didn't these machines have a white agitator in'73 or so with a triple dispensor? What was that agitator?

The first one above is from the late 60s, which I think is about when the "Vari Flex" agitator appeared, the control panel pic below that is from 70 or 71. There was one final design of these in 73-74. The control dial was printed on the machine and there was a pointer, rather than the entire dial that turned like above. Maybe that one had the penta-swirl agitator by then?
nel is the same machine as shown in the first pic.
Oops, wrong
I forgot about the very first pic, only looked at the LK.

YES!!!!! Very snooty machines indeed! With some work and love, they can look and run like new. Thanks for the pix!
Kenmores are the VW Beetles of laundry. They're not the fastest things in the world but they're fun as hell, and they sold millions of them.

My keyboard Kennie was like the first one at the top, only maybe a year or two older. Mine had pushbuttons in a lighter gold, and the dispenser cover was brushed pot metal instead of plastic.

Does anyone have a pic of the pentaswirl agitator? That is the one I was thinking about, I believe that they were white.
These LK's are one of my most favorite washers of all time, I used to love going into Sears as a boy and looking at them, the triple dispenser was awesome!

I believe Austin could provide a picture of a PentaSwirl.
