Ken
I would just inquire and if it's good, pick it up- how far away is it? How often do you find a matching dryer?
Though there are many beautiful washers and dryers, this 1956 style is a strong, beautiful statement. Um, that's my take.

You're right Phil. Especially with this one considering the age and that the redesign on the 56 Westy's were a one year only design. It would be a 10 hour drive one way to get it which I'm not interested in doing. Im going to guess shipping would probably be in the $300-$400 range.
Okay...Did some checking on UShip and got an idea on shipping cost. Not as prohibitive as I thought. Im going to contact the seller and see if they still have it.
Darn you Phil for putting ideas in my head! LOL[this post was last edited: 5/10/2018-12:53]

Good luck Ken! If you do get it, the problem with the drum not turning is more than likely a dirty starting switch in the motor (that was all that was wrong with my '53).

shipping
Transit Systems would probably ship that to you for $650 that is who I use and it comes wrapped.

Shucks
Shoot, Sheist, Shah-nuckles. I can't do anything right....put a bug in someone's ear and the next thing is their mortgage payment is delayed. Seriously, Ken - a ten hour PLUS trip I have done, but not that I planned it to take that long. I-85 from Atlanta to Charlotte was supposed to be about 4 hrs. It took six hours both ways due to construction and accidents. What a horrible drive!
Hence, a ten hour drive is a major commitment. $650 is probably the bigger commitment, for me. It sure is a beautiful dryer, though.

Found a hauler through uShip and the dryer was picked up yesterday. Should be here in a day or two. Here are pics the seller sent me yesterday.
See the avocado washer in the background in pic 2? It looks like a Whirlpool to me? When I spoke to him about the dryer he mentioned a washer he said was newer than the dryer but it didn't occur to me to ask more about it.
I asked about it last night and he said he planned on scrapping it today. I told him if he wasn't in a hurry to do that there might be someone here interested in it.

Yay Ken! Glad you could save it! Looking forward to seeing more pictures once it gets to you.
Whew! Ken perfect. So happy you sprung for it. Cannot wait to see more pics, and pics with both control dials.
Congratulations!!!

Congratulations, indeed. I didn't think you were actually going for it. I can't see the avocado washer other than the back three quarters.
uShip seems to be a popular choice here.

Ken -
Well, I love that 56 dryer Ken - but am I missing some details? Did you already have a matching washer to the '56 dryer you just acquired?
Thanks, I see the avocado Whirlpool Supreme 80 - are you buying that too? And the fridge? ?
