Thats a real clean looking old LK. Those were great washers and will be a wonderful addition to your collection.
Very Nice!
Congrats on a nice find! It is a fun machine and very self-reliant. Love all the automatic-ness!

Congrats on the LK and thanks for the video. What setting did you have the Vari Flex on? It was really creating some action. The timing was great the way the recirculation ended just as the video did. This seems to be the week of great videos. First Dick S's and now this.
Have a good one,
James

Roll Over
I saw the longer video, and was really surprised by the roll over of the Vari-Flex agitator. What cycle where you using Jed?

Thats' just way too cooool!!!!
Ditto everything above. ... And BTW,how did that beautiful piece get past Roberts'Radar?? Like Jon said,love the "Automatic ness". Gives me goose bumps imagining it; as I "hear" it going through all the functions ooohhh!!!
I have a 1972 (70 or 80)series KM with similar features,ie, solenoid detergent disp. bleach & fabric softener disp.,on loan to another member currently so he can "play" with it. It's fun having these great members we can share our "toys" with since we don't have an abundance of "great finds" on the west coast, as you guys do in MN. Ha Ha!!LOL. CONGRATULATIONS & ENJOY!!!

A nice token......
From your visit to Mpls Jed! Was hoping to join you and Robert but was cutting up the rug at Elsie's last evening!

and from someone who isn't a Kenmore fan...
I must admit, I always loved this machine. It almost takes the prize for over-the-top could you have any more bells and whistles on one machine. Gotta have the color-coded buttons (and still wonder why, with 14 {count 'em},buttons why they just didn't lay out 3 wash temps, 2 rinse temps, 2 wash speeds, 2 spin speeds and 5 options?). Doink. And someone please explain to me why you need a "SPIN ONLY" button when the cycle control dial is only 7 inches to the right? Looks like Sears designers were trying to make a Maytag A906/GE WWA9500 hybrid. I'd love to know if that button is actually connected to any wires.
I always appreciated that you could have real working bleach, softener and powdered detergent dispensers on the two or three TOL Kenmores. And they never quite let Whirlpool follow in suit. And nothing beats that wood-grained garage door over the control panel! Is that to make your Sears Best Lady Kenmore even more lovely than it already is or is this so we can install our laundry pair right in the living room so it blends right in with the walnut-veneered panelling? Congratulations on a great find this machine is going to give you years of fun!
...and can we hear more about Elsie's?
