A few weeks ago, Tyler brought this up from North Carolina for me, I’m going to use the cabinet from it to turn my 1959 lady Kenmore electric dryer into a gas dryer when I rebuild it.
This machine actually still works. We hooked it up and ran it. It needs a good servicing to be sure but it’s going to get parted out really only going to use the cabinet and a few parts from it if anybody happens to need control panel parts or something specific to this machine speak up now.
Late 50s top-of-the-line appliances were quite rare because of the economy being so bad in the United States at this time and the manufacturers of both cars and appliances had sort of gone out on a limb with these really fancy models that were also quite expensive in their day, so there weren’t many takers, which makes them very rare today.
