[turquoisedude]

42 gallons of gas used. Omg thats almost what I use in a year. Fuel is too expensive this side of the pond

That is amazing, I am envious, and I am SERIOUSLY GEEKING OUT over that delicious font on the window... I love the minimalist design of these: So clean, so uncluttered.

Here's to a long marriage...

Another successful pairing thanks to eLaundry.com where your laundry equipment finds a mate based on over 100 points of AW compatibility...

Not so happy here...

My W dryer is single and looking!

 

[qsd-dan]

Looks great, Kevin! I apologize for being out of town and unable to pick it up and store it for you.

 

[northwesty]

Kevin, I have these if you want to dress the washer up to look more like the dryer.

 

[redcarpetdrew]

Jerry, you need to sign up your dryer with eLaundry.com... LOL! That looks cool all lit up.

I plugged it in a turned it on before loading it in the truck.  I didn't leave it running long enough to see if it gets hot, but at least I know the motor works and the drum turns (but the rubber drive wheel on the motor does have a flat spot.   How fun to see a screw in fuse as part of the dryer!

 

Arbilab ~ YES!

 

Ralph ~ Yes we made it home fine.   Thanks again for your guest room, it was great seeing you and David.   And yes, sent photos to Heidi, but haven't heard back yet.

 

Andy ~ She is not going to move anything out, I won't let her!

 

Stan, Alr, Paul, Bob  ~ Thank you!

 

John L ~ Honestly I don't know if this one can be changed over to 220V.   The power cord is coming out of a small hole in the back panel that's only large enough for the cord.

 

Dan ~ Hey don't worry about it!  And THANKS!   

 

Brian ~ YES, THANK YOU!   I sent you an e-mail!

 

Jerry ~ I second Andy's comment, it looks really GREAT all lit up!

Thanks for the pic. How do I remember the yellow wheel so well? I spent hours sitting on the floor with a bent coathanger fishing lint out from behind that 'smile' panel behind the duct. Neglect that long enough and the drum will stop turning. At 50c/week allowance I figure my parents owe me $5000 (with inflation) in service calls on our slant Westys.

Evening wear..

Seductive night lights....mabye this would work if I take it to the bar for a hookup!

I don't know if she'll find her mate, but she's sure to make more human admirers all lit up like that. Just...lovely.

Kevin,

It just hit me - this may be a D4 model that was made only for use on 110v. If it is, I have the manual for it...

I can't wait to see it up and running!!

Thank you Paul!  

 

I'll have to take a closer look at it and I'll let you know!

800 miles - I remember driving to Marin county from Woodland Hills, thinking I'd make it one day(haha- never happened, slept at Big Sur)...so that drive you made is one I can identify with - great riding along PCH1. Congrats, on this fine looking dryer..the two look great. 1952- the year before my sister was born.

Does she sing "How dry I am" at the end of the cycle?

No, my dryer is a 1952 model. I don't know the exact model years the "music box" was installed, the dryer in the video below looks like a '55 or maybe '56, model.   I think it was installed 2 or maybe 3 years only.  
 
Does anyone know what year these were offered for sure???   
 
The link below the video is a thread from 2006 with very good photos of the actual "music box" and here is a video of it playing.

Westinghouse...

Congratulations Kevin, another machine and set....How many now??

Love those chimes, I think new machines should have the option of downloading your own tunes like phones etc...

Happy hunting!!

 

[revvinkevin]

Thanks Mike!! How many now? Too many! LOL

Hey Jon, do you know what years they put those music boxes in? Does Roberts have one?
