This will need a serious cleaning
and of course....it has a suds saver. 95% of my machines have a suds saver option. For some reason I just find them, maybe becuase I will use it!

Another Big Yay for Minneapolis Estate Sales
Yay, ohhh it is a 1963 model Don! How wonderful and $15 no less, love that. And it even still has its original detergent measuring cup over the agitator scrubber, that is too fabulous. A little cleaning he will be beautiful.
For what ever reason, suds savers automatics were very popular here, I see them all the time as well. I suspect it has to do with the fact that so many houses here in the city were built between 1920 and 1950 and most came with cement cast double basement sinks from back in the days of wringer washer.
Love the little light that says "Filtering". Its also good to know when the machine is Filtering.

Oh and Before I forget Don, in just in case...
And She's Off.....
Well so far so good! There is nothing wrong with this machine, does everything it should. Gave it a bit of a cleaning and will do more of that when it is a bit warmer. The measuring cup has never been off of the scrubber cap and the rubber is still very nice! Gotta love that! Will tackle the surface rust spots in the tub at some point. Fun machine with a tub light and all. Robert thanks for the download, and for your help earlier today. Start warming up for our "show tune" date next Sunday at the Eagle! ME, MAY, MAH, MOE, MOO, Now repeat.... "The Rain in Spain......" LOL

Very nice, Don. I love it when people don't use the "features" of their appliances, I'll bet that scrubber cap is too cool!
So much for keeping the garage in order this Spring ;-)

Great find at a great price. Glad to see some else also use the suds saver. I am in the process of looking for a washer with a suds saver. Until recently when I found this site I never thought of looking at estate sales for a washer. Good luck with your washer.

Congrats on that beautiful Lady Kenmore. The best looking of all Lady Ks. I am not sure what my dream machine to pursue would be if I begin a collection exactly, but this would be one of my options.
Not to get off topic, but as far as the link Robert posted of the 1963 Owner's Manual, it looks as if most of the models in the lineup were Suds Savers, at least as far down as the Model 70. That 70 series model was the washer in the movie "The Birdcage", along with the matching dryer. I've never seen one in person, or on the web site, with the exception of that manual. It's a cool washer, especially since it has the recirculating manual lint filter. Did that one precede the 70 with the backlit controls?
Again, gorgeous LK. I hope you post videos of its first wash.
Good Luck,
James

Another great LK find! Congrats.
Having read through the manual, I'm amazed that the Delicate cycle has a HOT water wash. Our 1960 had a warm wash for that cycle.

Don,
Was the suds-saver option used by the previous owner? It would be a shame not use something that fun .

The control panel looks almost exactly like the one on the gas Lady Kenmore combination I grew up with.The service tech went and spliced the wiring for me so the interior light came on along with the panel light during the cycles.He was great and Sears didn't know what they lost when they began contracting out to different service companies instead of keeping their own.He knew our combo inside out.We had once a year maintainance on our contract with Sears.He'd come out and replace whatever parts he thought were about to go and made adjustments on it to make it purr like a cat.He let me watch and showed me things that no other service tech would have done.I'm sure he knew from my watching his every move that I had an interest in washing machines.
