Below is a picture of the laundry pair that I grew up with.
I'm wondering if anyone can identify the actual model and/or series that these machines were?
The dryer is electric and was purchased new sometime between 1967-69. It had only 1 heat setting and a timer (no "automatic" or "wrinkle-guard" features). It lasted until the late 1980s. My service memorise of this machine included the somewhat regular reconnection and replacement of those plastic-coated tension cables that kept the door from falling open and the fact that you needed to open the top to get at the drum lamp to replace it.
The washing machine was purchsed new off of a sears catalog showroom floor in the fall of 1971. It was a suds model. I have many fond memories of listening to and watching this machine go through its paces as it did laundry for a family of 6 on a farm (12-20 loads a week). I have later (and more mixed) memories of regularly tearing this machine apart in the 1980s to replace a pump, the belt, the timer, and water valve solenoids. I think we finally abandoned it in about 1988 when it needed its second new timer.
