Lawrence, me thinks this is a derivative of Toyota Kenmore.

Or maybe a builders package.

Mid 70s?

I found a video on YouTube of the matching washer, I think

Will,

Not a match.  Bob - you're more-correct, but the Toyota models that I've seen all included woodgrain.  This one is a post-woodgrain model, even the console cap is black.  Wouldn't that date this one well into the mid-1980's?

I’d say it’s an early to mid eighties contract sales model that had it’s wood grain top painted black at some point.

Toyota?

You have me curious. How does an American sized appliance that looks like other units from an American corporation get branded with a Japanese name?

A couple Kenmore models of this console design and a marketing feature set were offered as bonuses with purchase of Toyota vehicles cica 1983-1985.
