John I even remember you mentioning that Whirlpool had some standing pilots on their dryers back the 60’s and 70’s but those Whirlpool dryers that had standing pilots I imagine turned into major rust buckets even more so than the HOH gas dryers.

So when and if I get the HOH working correctly where do I ?
So when and if I get the HOH functionality working correctly, where do I then look for applicable electronic ignition parts (I'm betting on this site someone might be cannibalizing an old unit) and what mfg or models should I look into since I'm sure there is more than one way to skin a cat? I love the idea of updating these units. The concept of just throwing things away makes no sense to me. Plus I like the project. Way cool.

Converting A MT Gas HOH Dryer To Pilotless Ignition
Hi Bill, I did this once on 1959 HOH dryer by using the gas burner assembly from the next generation MT gas dryer, it is not that hard to do if you are pretty mechanical.
I still have the dryer, it is a pink machine from around 1959 ? And it needs a new home soon or I may just part it out.
We rebuilt it mechanically, new front felt seals belts etc, it might already be spoken for I will check, but it must go.

Do the Ricardo Montalban "rich Corinthian leather car seat"s come as part of the parting out?

Re; Montalban
Did he also do the tv adds for that car? I don't remember. I was working so many hours from 1986 through 1990. I didn't watch much tv. My company was really "on the grow" then. We were opening new and remodeling existing locations every month.

No, I kinda remember the adds running during "Love Boat". Yikes, does that date me or what? I think the adds were strictly for the 1977-78 Cordoba.

It was the mid 70's that he became spokesman for Chrysler, as I know I hadn't been out of high school long when those ads appeared on tv. It was about the same time as they were running the commercial for Plymouth Volare with Sergio Franchi. Seems like yesterday that these ads were running.
