Updated photos on the 1963-64 Kenmore 600

[70series]

AWESOME!

So far, so GREAT! I'm glad I took another chance spin through this thread. The sights and sounds are something to behold for sure. I've looked through all the short clips, (and will continue to do so) and am looking forward to the full length one you post. Thanks so much for sharing.

Have a good one
James

Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo

I've always attributed the woowoo noises to a resonant sound made by the belt and amplified by the cabinet.

The older Maytags make the same sounds only lower in pitch and even from what I've heard the new Speed Queens make such noises.

But yet, it's the Kenmore whine that is the sound of my childhood.

I agree Jason....

This is the sound from my childhood too! Machine runs good excepting the noisy solinoid on the Wig-Wag during the spin cycles. Overall I'm very, very pleased with the machine and glad to have found this one.

Randy,

we had the next step up from your 63 600 ,the model 70 at our summer home when I was a kid (my mom had gotten it and the matching Soft Heat Gas Dryer as a newlywed) and I remember it making the same wig wag noise as yours does...like you saiud child hood memories...PAT COFFEY
