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.
 
You have great taste!

A 3 speed belt drive would be nice with Heavy duty fast/fast, normal slow/fast, delicate slow/slow, hand-wash extra slow/slow, handwash plus fine delicate intermittent extra slow / extra slow, hang dry fast/slow. Permanent Press II, Ultra Clean, Auto soak and Pre-wash. Hot/warm, warm/warm, hot/cold, warm/cold, cold/cold and ATC hot/warm, warm/warm, warm/cold, cool/cold, cold/cold.

50/50 mixing valve.

I think the control system on a Kenmore 90 series washer on a belt drive would have been ideal.

Minus the slow spin speed and slightly worse suspension the original belt drives rival direct drives in many, many ways.
