Good chance. Sears sold many of these, and they are some of my favorite models. They are out there, just have to look around and patience.

Off topic:
One of my fond memories was the Kenmore pair in the hall closet of a rented condo I shared with some friends in 1979, when I was about 27.
For my 27th birthday, we threw a big party, like 30 friends.
The washer was loaded with ice, and beer up to the lid, with a trash can next to it.

So after the fun and booze, the next hungover morning, all I had to do was start the machine with some hot water, and spin out the melted icewater.
Some bottle caps were apparently tossed in there, no problems.
