Not For Sale
I have often heard this also about an older cool looking item, sometimes they just like keeping something around for the interest it generates from customers, sometimes it is part of someones personal collection. But I have also found that almost everything is for sale, but you might have to pay some serious money to get it or befriend the right person.
Condenser dryers, Hi Mark, I think that only Hotpoint and Maytag ever sold a water condenser dryer in this country so they were not many companies that got into building this type of dryer. There were many Combos that were water cooled condensing machines as it was easy to do on a combo because you already had a water tight machine that was connected to water with a drain pump etc.
One company even made a GAS CONDENSING COMBO , yes MTs Gas combo used cold water to remove a lot of the water, heat and lint that was removed from the clothes load, this machine alsodid have a vent as you were burning 18,000 BTUs of gas as it dried so of coerce it needed fresh air to keep burning. I would love to try one of these MT gas combos out to see how well this worked in practice.
