Vintage Kenmore Washer year?

[bgadow]

We had a GE dishwasher when I was a kid, matching our avocado kitchen. When we got a new range & refrigerator in almond (a barter my Dad made with the GE dealer, probably for some repairs/paintwork on one of his service vans) Dad pulled the front cover off so he could paint it to match & we were surprised to find 2 panels with a different color on both sides of each, as I recall. I really liked the coppertone (guess that's what you call it, a 2-tone faded brown affair) but of course it didn't match.

Most of them had the panels in the 80's. When I got a new one 4 yrs
ago none of them had it. Black, silver or white was it. He had about 8
brands lined up & when I looked inside it was just 2 different guts in
all of them. Same with MWO's. I knew I was in trouble when I installed it.
It must have weighed 40 lbs less than my old KA DW.
I was right, its a POS & I regret loosing my old KA.
