1963 Kenmore 70 Dryer

Yesterday morning I spotted this ad on Facebook Marketplace for this dryer. I messaged the guy asking if I could purchase it after work. He agreed. When I got off of work at 6 last night, I drove the almost 2 hours to the seller's place.
The dryer is in really good condition. The seller said it does work except on the "Air setting". I'm not sure what he means that it wasn't working. It still had some liquid in the fragrance bottle. I then drove the almost 2 hours home. It was well worth it though.

Justin, an aunt & uncle had that dryer. Parents of a guy my oldest sister dated had the matching washer.

Friends had that dryer; replaced it with a late 60s matchall. I think the matchall had soft heat.

Our family had that exact dryer

Bought new in late 1963, never had a minutes trouble with it, but it was fairly slow. It was a well built dryer that’s for sure. John L

I think that the basic WP top lint screen dryer is maybe the best product on the market, throughout all the years it has been in production. It dries well, has simple parts that are durable, and has maybe the strongest airflow that can overcome installation obstacles. Many customers can't wrap their heads around this format since it is on the cheaper side. People think that spending more means a higher quality, but I think it means only more features and fancier appearance.
