Speaking of Kenmores.... Year of this 70?

The 1963 Lady Kenmore had a push to start button

I have a 1963 summer catalog and you can see the push to start button under the dial PATRICK COFFEY

Wouldn't surprise me the high-end dryers had the start button first.

1961 Kenmore Gas Dryer

Here is a photo of a Kenmore Dryer I saved from the trash. It has a lighted control panel but since it does not say "Lady Kenmore" I know it is not TOL. Does anyone know where this unit fell in the lineup of 1961 offerings?

Steve, good question on the year of the SQ. This came up at one point and my mind is a blank. Maybe someone else will chime in?

It is one of their nicest panels IMHO. Attached are a couple shots of the washer-

1964 Speed Queen. This must have been a very popular machine for them. I've seen more of these than any other solenoid models. Porcelain tub? And you have the filter too!

Speed Queen!

This above Speed Queen was the exact same one my Grandmother had. I liked it and it washed very well. I just didn't like the loud seloinoid bangs!

ok, here we go....

Cadman: I have the same year as your washer, except mine is one model down from yours(model 600)with straight vane.

Spinout: you have the matching dryer to my 63 Kenmore washer600, except, my dryer is 1964 model 70. Timer dial is exactly the same. control panel on mine is slightly different.
