Something followed me home....

What could it be.... This was on Craigslist since before thanksgiving, I watched it contemplated etc... I had some health problems
and kinda just let it go, the other day I saw it was still available and decided it was meant to be. It was 25.00 cheaper as well which really helped;0)...may I introduce the 1985 kenmore 80 Series in toast. It is in such good condition it doesn't even seem real...Need to send a big shout out to toploader55 (Eddie) for originally posting the craigslist ad in shoppers square!
Here are some pics I will post a couple of videos soon[this post was last edited: 1/12/2015-14:32]

What a beautiful washer!  I love the 'Toast' color - too bad it didn't survive longer.  Congratulations on your great find.

Gorgeous!! That is definitely a treasure!!! I'm still on the lookout for one with the SolidState control panel.

I would love to see a video of the drive system working while it switches from wash to drain, and then drain to spin.

toast

I think this is the color that looks best on these 80 series…to me, it gives them a distinction that white doesn't impart. But enough of my aesthetics babble….

Congratulations, it looks good and you look happier now that you decided on it.

Hi Scott.
I wondered if you ever got that machine. I was tempted myself. But that sure is a clean beauty.

Ever get the KitchenAid from West Barnstable here on the Cape ? I haven't seen it on CL. I hope it didn't meet it's demise.

Low Mileage

Not a lot of miles on that machine.
Good save!
