Cool machine, but parts are unobtanium, alas.  There are recent reproduction tub boots available but boy, howdy, they are not free.   The machine in all likelihood "works" but it'll also be a leaker.  Been there, done that with my ABC-O-Matic and it still needs a tub seal that is NLA...

Kelvinator Set TV appearance

Just an aside:

This particular Kelvinator set made an appearance in the 1955 -1957 TV series, "Science Fiction Theatre." Episode 2, Season 1.

(The dryer played a small part of the plot, but I won't spoil it for you.)[this post was last edited: 10/13/2021-19:29]
