"when are you going to dig it out of the mothballs"
Kevin - there are a few MUST HAPPENS before I can get that machine out of storage. First and foremost is to freshen-up a pair of LK machines for a member from the mid-west. I can't work on my stuff until that is out of the way. THEN, I would like to finish a couple machines that are at home already, including the almost done 1965 alphabet 70. After that, who knows, something will strike my fancy in storage I am sure. I think if Andy nudges me much further on the 1968 900s we'll have to make him a Maytag Man bobble-head doll, so that washer may have first dibs on a trip "to the spa" as Ron in NC says. I would also like to breathe life into a 1963 KM 70 in Coppertone that is a real basket-case. I love total re-dos, so we'll see what time brings. I also have four or five DD machines that heard there was a convention of WP-built washing machines in Charlotte, and came to stay. Those need to be fixed and homes found for them. They would get out of my way and into the hands of folks who need them.
Malcolm - I noticed the same thing on the timer dial. That would be really interesting if the machine stopped after the pre-soak. Thanks for including the video of Rodrigo's. That is one of my favorite KMs - definitely in the top 5. That model had a one-up cousin with the same timer as this machine. It also has a short gap between the cycles from what I've seen in catalogs. Maybe Joe remembers what his washer did?
Its good to know that a few others had or had seen this model. I shouldn't be surprised, Kenmore sold too many machines for something MOL like this to be rare.
