I am not sure what year this is from…My mom had one of these, but in the mid 70’s, it was apple and celery green, think my parents purchased that one around 1975/76…this one I think may be from the early 80’s. It is model 116.29992, it’s in excellent shape, clean and everything is original. It has a 2-speed motor with performance indicator, 8.5 amps and 12 amps with Powermate. This was an Ebay find and I couldn’t resist it…brings back childhood memories…to a degree, not the same one we had, but close enough. This is my first video, hopefully it came out okay… ***Update this is from 1980, as this exact model # is featured in the 1980 Spring/Summer Sears Catalog, as Sears Best Model. This runs as smooth as my new progressive if not smoother…amazing that a machine that is 29 years old can run so well…
Nice kenmore Magicord
dude i love your solid state Kenmore. this one was made in 1979 and early 1980. this one in unique because of the amber light overload protection.
my aunt had one she bought it in 1981 from sears
thanks, I figured it had to be early 80’s considering the wood trim…and white/beige body…I know the 70’s models were mainly green or blue…but not 100% sure.
thanks, I appreciate the info…
thanks…
Very nice, beware the weakness in the hoses which tend to split near the handle though if yours hasn’t split by now it’s probably one of the better older ones.
these were great old machines. My Mom had one from the early 80’s I believe.
She used it at least 15-20 years with no
problems at all.. I enjoy your videos..
keep em’ coming..
I was wondering if you would sell this .
