That poor machine, looks like it was left outside for years! I have seen that machine before but I cant remember what it was.

Robert....
What's worse than that, Evan's link leads to an Atlanta Craigslist posting and the seller is still asking $35 for the machine in it's current condition....he/she states that it can be used as a yard decoration, so I would say your guess about it sitting outside for along time would be 100% accurate!

Hi kenkart.
If memory serves, you were at our early meetings back in Naperville, Illinois.
As I'm still compiling historical information, do you have the history of Kenmore that you can share?
Thanks,
Alex Taber

It appears to me more like the first photo in the top lineup rather than the center photo, although I'm so tired right now, everything is running together on me!

Yes, it is definatley the 89.95 model. I disagree with Blackheart, it could be saved by someone who wanted to send the time and money on it. If I had said Time and Money, especially the money, I'd do it. I would love to see it once it's been restored.
Kirbykid, what are your plans for the 'rusty Kenmore'if you buy it?

Hi Hans
Thought that was you.
Yes that meeting was fun.
I've been out in the sticks of PA. Worked for the hotel from hell in 09/10, then the s.o.b fired me because I wanted to go to a club convention. Since then I've been a place where there is no cell phone access, and no internet till this past Sept..
As you know, the club just turned 30. You have been a part of it since we met in 95. As the saying goes, I'm still here!

I've got the time but not the money. I might buy it. But the motor is probably all rusted. It will probably be a money pit. The amount of money I would put in it is probably twice the amount for a restored one.
That vacuum now blends in WELL in its new habitat!$35 for that?You would have to PAY me to take it.

Maybe the seller could be convinced to sell it for significantly less? It could be restored and even a rusty motor could be saved with tlc. See if they would take a lot less for it just because of the condition. Never hurts to try.

All good info above.It seems to have become a 'henmore'with broken K.This shows how models using the same body could become good-better-best by starting with no wheels(as another did)then adding dolly,tool storage,handle and more.Would be a good project(at a lower price)for metal work and then Custom Paint Colors!!Just imagine your favorite custom car colors here.

I could quite possibly be the first one on the catalogue page, but if it is then the handle is also missing.

It is. And yes the handle is missing
