Siemens Spin Dryer

Hi Adam, Very cool, are you trying to buy this ?

 

If it is still in running condition it should be an easy restore.

 

Old old do you or others think this is ?

The link didn't work for me, but I found it on eBay Kleinanzeigen, here's the link.

No idea how a 120V spinner ended up in Germany (it's in Bavaria). Perhaps an American military wanted to take it home to the USA? Who knows.

I think this must be a spin dryer from the 50's or early 60's. The motor is only 90 Watts, not a very powerful one for a spin dryer.

I googled a bit and found out that in parts of Germany 110V was a standard until somewhere in the 50's. With the 50Hz on the tag that should imply that it was intended for that market.

This is a similar model for 220V

I actually own the 220 V version

I’ve currently gotta restore my spin dryer, it’s the model without the lid and switch, The reason being why I have to restore it it’s because the original paint at the top of the spin dryer is peeling due to putting boiling hot laundry into it, I have now learnt that that is not a good idea, so at the moment I’m not planning to buy another spin dryer,But I decided to share this for others to have a look at and if they’re interested they’re welcome to purchase it with the link
