Someone has a Kenmore Model 80 they want to give me they say it needs a $70 part machine looks very good and is probably about 30 years the junior of our Whirlpool Imperial 70 we are now using which works resonably well still and has never had to be worked on once. I just was thinking as old as our washer is it will probably have problems before to much longer plus the newer probably would cost less to operate and may be quieter. I just wonder if it would be worth messing with?
