They look nice at first glance. Gas dryer has issues. $300 may be too pricey. 2 week old ad so maybe they're gone. Apologizes too if they've been already posted. In Los Angeles.
Not Lady Kenmores but still respectable

Oh WOW!
My childhood Kenmore set, but ours were turquoise. Lasted a family of seven until 1986. Suds saver too.
I don't recall my dad ever having to do a major repair on them. I remember the washer being very rusty.

Jeepers, is that the 'doeskin' finish on them?
Those appear to be older than 1968. Looks like 1963. Kevin in Signal Hill has a set in turquoise.
They are 1963
My mom got that same identical set in as a newlywed in October 1963...PAT COFFEY

I disagree. They may have been built in '63, but I think they are 64 70 series models. I can post pictures later, but the '63 models control panel is similar to my '62's but with a different dial set up.
I sent that same set, in Coppertone, to a friend, where I hear they await restoration. Mine had the opposite problem, the electric dryer worked, but the washer didn't. They were 1963, IIRC.

Ok. But I know based on model number mine is a 62 (2nd photo). But where does this turquise one fit in?
Mine is stamped 1963 on the case of the tranny. It is just like that machine except in white.
It is my favorite Kenmore ever.

They are a 1963 set, which was around for a couple of years. The turquoise one that with the console like your 62 is also a 63 model. Most times, there were 2 model groups within the same series ranking. The first was usually a standard model with the basic controls like the set above, and the second one was slightly more upscale, mostly featuring the alphabet style cycle layout on the dial as the turquoise model does. The washer that is subject in this thread has a model number that reads as 110.63047**, and the # for the turquoise one you show above is 110.63147**. If I recall correctly, the digit after the model year indicates the group within a model series. The turquoise model having the 1 after the 63 indicates that it is amongst the second group of 70 series models offered that year.

Hey James, Thanks for the clarification! I didn't realize there were two of the same series in the same year. Thanks so much!

Gas Dryer
Does anyone who knows about these think the Gas Dryer is repairable?

With enough time and money, anything is repairable.

Is the "Igniter" something that can be replaced on a dryer this old. Also, I remember a thread here some time back where a place that repaired timers was talked about. Does anyone remember that thread?

"Listing Expired"
I looked for the listing in L A & the link says "Listing Expired"! Does anyone have access to that listing? I wanted to contact those sellers to see if the washer and dryer are still available.

Did someone in the club purchase these machines (the 63-64 Kenmore washer & dryer)?
