1965...and the dawn of dryer sheets, anyone know?? so...were dryer sheets invented in latter part of the 60's, or more like the 70's? Seems like many Americans want to add something (!) to their clean wash...LOL.

soo...tempted...but lack the space...doesn't the control panel suggest that it is anything but BOL??? ...take a LOOK http://columbia.craigslist.org/app/2658392726.html

re: "small" find Whirlpool Dryer From the looks of your pics, similar in capacity to our 60's something Whirlpool Imperial Dryer (out on loan). Definitely agree with not overloading this beauty...guaranteed wrinkles. I wonder if the windowed door on our 62 would fit this 80's version. From the...

Beautiful!!! Congratulations! Enjoy them...PANK :-)

"Reasonable" offer is? I've gotten the usual responses...gee I wish it was closer, just can't do it right now...IF this were its twin (washer) it would have been already claimed. Is $125 too much to ask???

...drum shot, requested... so, anyone interested in adopting this pink gal???

update requested, Model, S.N. ... will have to take the interior drum shot tmw when I back the car out (be advised the drum shows LOTS/ 40+ years of use!). Here's today's pic of model and serial number...to the right is the piece of velcro used to keep the door closed.

Yes...Electric it is electric...another member said they are very interested as well...as far as shipping I've had success with both Creighters & Freighters and U-Crate.

Dual-wattage heating element?... ...DADoES knows more about this baby than do I, it does run quieter on 'Normal' (not that it is roaring loud on 'Super'). It is not as loud as say a Norge dryer. Probably not as quiet as a modern dryer but it's not bothersome - actually pleasant (to me). I...

request, close-up (3)...cycle selection ...where one can see that a button has been selected. The button stays in place after it is pushed. If one needs to check the dryness of clothes just open the door, then push the button to restart. One can also switch temperature mid-cycle by pushing a...

request, close-up (2)... When we first acquired her, I wasn't sure how to start a cycle. One turns the dial to the amount of time then pushes in one of the heat/air settings and it begins. Our favorite cycle for bath towels is P.P. at 40 minutes on HIGH, when it times down to 10 minutes it does...

request, close-up (1) of course! ...

While I truly appreciate this forum's founder, collectors and enthusiasts (and expertise so many of you share) I am not meant to collect vintage appliances, just be an admirer :-). In 2008 we acquired this beloved 1962 RCA WP Imperial dryer from Mark (LightedControls). It has been a FAITHFUL...

My experience...HOT start While we couldn't stand the noise our Nautilus really took anything you could load into it. Our example would heat up the calrod for about 7 minutes before introducing hot water into the chamber, it really made for an incredibly HOT pre-wash! We swapped it out several...

Chevy Caprice Classic website... IIRC that must have been an 'evening' episode...I think, but please correct if I am wrong, that there had been at one time a weekly evening version of TPIR in the 70's with host Dennis James (remember his tag line in the 50's? "Okay? Okay!" saw it on one of the...

Just saw the commercial of child in tub with Mom giving the favorite stuffed animal a 'bath' in the new Samsung with "Power FOAM Technology". Unbelievable what manufacturers will come up with next...it is already bad enough how the average Joe and Jane add way too much detergent just to see suds...

Experiment with Ivory Snow I just tried Ivory Snow on our towels - no softener - and instead of drying with Hi heat used Warm level on the Permanent Press cycle (which has 10 minutes air-fluff at the end) for 40 minutes total. About one Tbsp in our front loader = SOFT towels with a light Ivory...

Arm & Hammer "Super Washing Soda' You could also try using A&H's 'Super Washing Soda' which according to the package helps cut grease...also states on box "improves liquid detergent cleaning by 40%!". I've been using some to wash out sink basins weekly and have noticed, over time, a lesser need...

Been there...done that...got the Sales apron :-) My SO and I did this 10 years ago. We did the beginner consultant required 6 parties to (mainly) get a lot of stoneware (excellent, btw) and cookware (no longer have). By the 4th "party" it got to be a real chore. We do like their spice mixes...

personal exp with C&F... agree with Launderess. We have used them twice; both times the items were super-wrapped with bubble wrapped, the box they literally cut and formed to fit our TT washer and customized a pallet for the base (which was so sturdy/overbuilt we decided to keep it and use as a...
