Part of the picture of the control panel is missing.
As much as I love this machine, I don’t like being held hostage to a pre-programmed cycle like today’s machines! I like the push-button design, but still like to be able to adjust wash time and any change of the cycle program...

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Those are the kind of Lady Kenmores that were verboten for me to even bring in the shop and test. I saw several of those same push-button models pictured in today's P.O.D. but the most fun I could have with one was my extra-long extension cord plugged into the base of the parking lot lamp. With a washer, your enjoyment level is severely handicapped without water. Still, anything with lots of buttons and controls just begged to be plugged in and taken for a test drive. Like any guy teenager that was more attracted to a Lady Kenmore than a pretty lady, I tend to remember most of the cool stuff. </span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Basically anything that had one of those "zillion wire" timers that selected almost everything was taboo. Used stuff was guaranteed and those parts were expensive to replace. Worse, a Kenmore-specific timer had to be purchased from Sears. </span>

1960 Lady Kenmore Washer
Hi Joe, You and I had the same addition from an early age.
There was one of these 1960 LKMs sitting in front of an appliance shop in College Park Maryland when I was in High school and I keep going by to see if they would sell it to me and the answer was always maybe. There was a really hot guy in his later 20s that was rebuilding machines at this shop and he always said he was excited about taking a crack at this washer.
Finely he sold it to me as he never got around to working on it, we brought it home and rebuilt it mechanically but never got the timer system to work.
Fast forward Greg In Nebraska found the matching electric dryer and I traded this washer for the only know Westinghouse Combination known a WD-1 which actually works. Greg still has the magnificent 1960 LKM Washer, It was the most technologically advanced automatic washer the world had ever seen in 1960.
