That's the gas version of my April 1978 GE dryer.

Bob, how do you compare this dryer to the others you have used and owned?

I really liked the capacity. It dried well and sensor was accurate enough. The signal was either on or off, no variable (the little buttons). the signal would buzz for the last 2 minutes if turned on, which was great when my first house laundry was in the garage. It had one major flaw. Not only was Regular/Cottons temperature high, but Perm Press/Poly Knits was too. Although the Poly/Knits cycle on the timer didn't dry as aggressively as the PP/Regular cycle. the other part of this major flaw was low temperature was timed dry only. To my dismay, subsequent versions incorporated low heat as auto or timed. I liked the LK better for its variable temperature and always auto dry, but the LK drop down door prooved to be precariou9s for me at times and would almost fall in. I loved the Matag Dependable Care for its flexibility and side-swing door. The capacity was smallest dryer I've had thus far.

Thanks for the descriptive lowdown.

 

I used to see these often for sale in the early days of craigslist when they were everywhere and sort of regretted not picking one up, tear it down and rebuild to learn it's mechanical functions, and put it through its paces. They don't pop up for sale much these days.
