KM Gas Combo Auto Dry System
Actually the gas burner NEVER shuts off until the timer advances to the cool-down period, the timer only starts to advance when the modulating burner flame reaches a minimum size which is determined by the user set dryness setting on the control panel. This was a great non-electronic system that really worked, it did a great job of compensating for not only load size but also exhaust duct length and ambient room temperature.
The Electric combos and the basic gas models also did not cycle the heat on and off, on those the timer just advanced when a user set exhaust temperature was reached.

UPDATE...........
This Lady is not well, but I suppose I wasn't expecting it to work perfectly when I got it unloaded (though I was secretly hoping).
* The water inlet valve doesn't close.
* The pump... doesn't.
* She leaks.
* The front diverter valve is seized and the solenoid smoked itself, during testing.
On the up side, it looks like someone has cared for this thing over the years. Material was put between certain thing to insulate one from the other. The entire bottom panel / base plate has been repainted inside and out with something black... POR 15 perhaps?? Who knows. A rebuilt transmission / compressor assembly has been installed at some point.
Well, that's the news from Lake Wobegon... where the women are strong, the men are good looking and the children are above average.

I know how you must be feeling, Kevin... When I found that '56 GE Combo in Syracuse this summer and it 'worked' when I first tested it I was elated. However, there were lots of other problems with it and I wound up parting it out...
Your 'Lady' sounds like it's in good overall shape, though - you might be able to score another parts donor machine and get her back in service again! You do seem to have a knack for finding these machines, after all...
