While I truly appreciate this forum's founder, collectors and enthusiasts (and expertise so many of you share) I am not meant to collect vintage appliances, just be an admirer 
. In 2008 we acquired this beloved 1962 RCA WP Imperial dryer from Mark (LightedControls). It has been a FAITHFUL daily driver but now with three dogs, and their bedding, we need a LARGE capacity dryer. She is PURTY but she ain't a BIG gal, rather petite! (her capacity is about 4 cubic feet?).
We adopted her for $275 because of LOOKS and features (lighted console, porthole window) and the care shown by her former owner. The paint is not perfect but original. All cycles, the lights, and the two speeds are working. Timer starts and stops on all cycles, drum light works, all temperature settings work great; the door creaks but does close with the use of velcro (and has worked quite well this way for us). She does not have her front 'legs' you can see in the lower right of the picture a piece of foam used to balance her. The picture angle makes it look like the paint is scratched above the door handle, but it is not. She appears to have what may be her original lint filter, but does not have the fragrance bottle, just a blank space near the lint filter). Her very first owner (not Mark) must have kept her in a damp basement, the base of her body does have some rust which was touched up prior to our adoption in 2008. Her paint is not perfect at the base but the top, door and overall front appearance is nice. I would prefer she be adopted by an AW member. If you can make a reasonable offer --AND collect her before the end of September-- (I have NO storage) she can be YOURS! The 4-prong cord will be included. Other pictures available upon request.
