Very pretty. Some BOL's have a lot of class although we see that the metal used in the cabinet isn't as strong as the stainless steel used for the drum.
Early 70S SQ Gas Dryer
These were heavily built dryers but not really great dryers, they were slow drying and prone to blower bearing problems, they were also a bear to work on.
The rust on the upper back was from the constant burning pilot light, the steel cabinet is actually much stronger than the SS drum but not as corrosion resistant, LOL.
The front grill inside the drum opening is installed upside down, they have the dryers light opening at the bottom.

Thanks, but I think I'll stick with Gas-X when required . . .
Where is the lint screen on these? Underneath a la Norge?

If I remember well, the lint filter was in the door. It would be like a big round circle mesh filter that would slip in the round part of the inner door.
My sister had the Simplicity brand version of the Speed Queen. It had a baked enamel or painted grey drum. It wasn't stainless steel.

You had to be careful with these in cold locations. The steamy air can condense on the metal structure of the door and cause dripping.
