Brown (copper?) Whirlpool dryer

[justjunque]

Cheap Whirlpool washer and dryer.
Obviously, the dryer is older.
I see some rust around the door.
But, for the price, I thought someone might be interested.

Hi Tom,

What do you think of it?
Approximate year? Good model?
I think it's very similar to the first dryer I remember my mom having, except hers was white.
Is that a lighted part, at the base of the control panel?
I don't remember if Mom's had that. If it did, I never saw it light up.
They didn't see any need for it, so they never replaced the bulbs.

Guessing '66 to '69.

The console base probably doesn't illuminate on this model.  It may have an incandescent backlight on the timer.
