Nice find and congratulations! Theyre wonderful looking machines. Thanks for the share!
Just found a 1968 Sears Lady Kenmore washer/dryer set!

I have the exact same washer and I love it. Mine needs some work on the timer and the inlet solenoids. I'd love to find the matching dryer as well. What is remarkable about these machines is that, unless I'm wrong, they were the only machines made in 1968 where you could load up all the dispensers and use any cycle the machine provided and not have to return to the washer until it was finished. Of all the bells and whistles offered back then I think that had to be the most useful.
Thank you for all the pictures, especially the ones inside the control panels. I haven't gone there yet but you've provided a good road map.

I need a bowl to catch my drool!! Avocado Green is my fave and a Lady Kenmore set at that. Congrats!
Ken, the 1965 Frigidaire WCI65 had dispensers for soak thru softener for 2nd rinse.

Outstanding set of Kenmores you've found. Congratulations, and may they bring you years of joy.
I STAND CORRECTED....
DOUG. You have had a Twice in a lifetime find.
That is amazing ....2 weeks in a row.
I'm not usually a fan of any of the avocado
colors, but that set is Awesome.
Best of Luck with all.

Wow, what a set. The pot metal dispenser door appears to be in pretty good shape. Certainly a pair worth holding on to.

Excellent find, Doug!
That is my favorite Kenmore control panel style. My friend Glenna D. got a very similar set when she and her husband Larry married in '66, except in Coppertone.

You have this set listed on eBay. I'd love to bid, but couldn't promise pick up in two weeks this time of year due to the weather. It's a beautiful set.

Saw your Ebay listing 
Man, they are in great shape.
So glad you got to these neat machines before they were just discarded.
