Thumbnail Cap
That Thumbnail cap on the bakelight straight vane always reminded me of the chrome crown that the Speed Queen agitator wears.

Thanks Lawrence! Yes, I still have a 'collection'. The machines in the trailer were about 1/3 of the stach.
Malcolm - I used to think exactly the same thing about the old Speed Queen caps. The screw in the middle of the ones on commercial machines always annoyed me because they interrupted the beauty of the chrome.

Gordon,
You have some very nice Kenmores there! It's good you have a proper place to store them. Do you have any combo machines?

Gordon, I think your 1967 Kenmore 600 is very similar to my very first washing machine. It was well-used with several previous owners by the time I purchased it, but worked just fine for many years. I remember dutifully cleaning the lint filter after each load.

1967 Model 600:
There it is....Mrs Brunner's washer; the one that belonged to my neighbor who used to invite me over to do wash. Each time I look at those photos I am reminded of the aroma of the Sears Roebuck powdered detergent she used. I always thought the lint filter was an interesting configuration with the turn latch. The black straight vane on this one does look well preserved. Hopefully the motor issue is the simpler of the two possibilities so the repair is not very costly. That is a great garden variety model. Very basic and not lacking any essentials.
Have a good one,
James

1969 700
Hey Gordon. I'm working until sometime in November at The Campbell Center for Historic Preservation Studies in Mt. Carroll, IL. They have the matching 1969 700 series electric dryer without a console light. The dryer is not only in fine working condition, it's in regular use. I put new drum rollers and a belt on it, and I'm about to do the belt pulley. It can be yours if you want it, just arrange shipping and a replacement 29" dryer. They have some other vintage goodies that might be available that I'll be posting about later.

Dave,
Thanks so much for the offer of the dryer. I think I have someone in mind who may be acquiring that washer of mine, so I'll let him do the inquiries on the dryer.
I saw the pics of those machines you have - VERY cool. I would like a couple of the well-loved Kenmores.

HI Jed -
I have a couple tub shots of similar machines, but here is the exact machine.
This agitator is VERY unassuming and doesn't look like it would do much with the shallow vanes, but WOW is that not the case. I am using a 2-speed 60-series machine with the same basket and agitator and I actually choose to either run shorter wash times with it, or use something else if I think my laundry is going to be rough-housed too much. I have even used the Delicate cycle for medium-fill loads.

Do you have a tub shot of the '81? or equivilant machine
Oh Jed, you should know that once you've seen a tub shot of a Kenmore washer, you've seen them all....
(Ducks and runs FAST!! )
LOL

(Oh dam, I thought I would beat Gordon to the punch!)

Mister LOL Kevin thinks he's being funny, but he wants me to come out there and fix his half-dozen Kenmores. If you've seen one Kevin, haven't you seen them all? In that case, I should fix only ONE of them? NO?

D'OH!
Ouch! Well I suppose I'd better retract that statement if I want ANY help from that AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL person who is the most kind hearted and giving individual I know, Mr Kenmore himself... Gordon!

(Umm, was that enough a$$ kissing Mr G?)

No need to kiss a$$ with me Kevin, the truth works just as well. What's that you say? Oh, it was the truth, well OK then!..... LOL
Trust me - we're going to have a Kenmore worth-a-thon in Long Beach, SOON.

Hey Gordon,
I was just looking at this thread again, and as always, am amazed at your collection of Kenmores and your knowledge. We've chatted before about my 700 that I grew up with like the one in the first pic. I thought it was weird that you mentioned the one in the pic doesn't have a console light, and the one that Kevin got did. I've also seen some 700's with a florescent light. Ours had 2 small incandescents, one above the dial and one above 'alphabet" What was Sear's thinking on this.
p.s. I know I owe you an email, and I promise I'm going to get to it one day soon!
