GE Dryer

My bad

Thanks for the information John, I guess my perception of the appliances is mostly from what I've seen from Canadian members coupled with the glow of sanity and progressiveness our Northern neighbor has these days.

 

James, congratulations on your find. Here are a few pictures of some of the TOL's from 1967 that would have matched your dryer:

seems like older dryers are abundant

that's a clean dryer you should be able to get years and years of use out of it ! I came across a 70s maytag dryer for sale in green I'm thinking of buying it .

Say what? That machine is out of the wrapper, time capsule new condition, wayyy too nice to be put into use drying cargo shorts and underwear.

Should be donated to an appliance museum for posterity.

The '67 ads Ken posted don't mention the "Versatronic" name, so GE must not have used it until the next year. I'm almost certain my neighbor got hers in '68, before their youngest daughter was born in Jan. '69. I suppose it could have been a '69 model, but I think they got it in the Summer.

I think the reason Canadian models tended to have less features and used older styling was due to economy of scale. Far fewer machines were sold in Canada as compared to the US, so each model would have had fewer buyers. It seems that many times the Canadian TOL models have the same trim as US TOL, but with less or a different combination of features.
