1963 70 series. Suds-saver to boot!

 

[revvinkevin]

70 series or 700's??

 

 

I have a pair of 1963 70 series and they DON'T look like that!

 

[hydralique]

These are all utterly gorgeous, hope you get the second set Kevin!

 

Small pet peeve: why do people advertising dryers almost never bother to note if the dryer is gas or electric? Many homes don't have hookups for both.

Very nice set. Nice to see in that condition and age and still going strong. Kevin, I hope you get them to add to your collection. Would have been nice to see a money shot or two.

Where are the water level and temp controls?  Does the washer just fill to the top, and are water temps dictated by the cycle selected?

 

[alr2903]

RP2813,  I believe the electric cord has hid the silver lever/s.  Look at picture 3 from the right in the original ad.  I can not be sure but looks like some print on the left bottom of the panel.  alr2903

These are definitely a 7-series of 1963 vintage. I've always considered them 700s vs. the 70 series that Kevin pictured. Actually there is only one digit different in the washer's model number, and both have a 7 in the series digit, but because the dryer has a full-width door, I've considered these 700s because they're perhaps a tiny bit fancier.

Washer is an alphabet washer with timer set temps according to the cycle letter.

The water level switch is on the left, a slider type just like in the same era Lady Kenmores.

You can see the water level adjustment a little bit better in this picture below of the same model, just under the first letter E of 'kenmore'.

Thanks guys.  I was trying to convince myself that a sliding lever was behind the cord, but just couldn't see it.

 

[appnut]

Didn't Robert find a matched set of these once?

 

[turquoisedude]

Go Kevin Go!!

 

[tennblondie78]

OOOOOHHHH!!!

I would love to have those!!! I would love a turquoise set like that. The "filtering" light is interesting. Don't know that I have ever seen that before. Good luck Kevin!!!

Delicate Cycle

I noticed that on the timer dial for the Delicate cycle 'F' there is an arrow that appears to point to the left. Any idea what this is supposed to indicate?

Which agitator can we expect in this model? Bakelite super roto-swirl?

 

[swestoyz]

Kevin, I take it the Mustang is giving up it's spot for something that came from Sears?

Lint Filter?

Does this model have a the manual lint filter?

Yes it is Ben!   In fact I have already kicked it to the curb! 

 

 

Brainard: Gordon will correct me if I'm wrong, but this is an upper end model and had a self cleaning filter, hense the amber "filtering" light.

This model has a self cleaning lint filter, that is why there is an orange light above the timer dial that says filtering….it glows orange anytime the washer is washing or rinsing to indicate that the filter is filtering. During the drain the filter then cleans itself……...PAT COFFEY
