Hoover 0910
This is a later version (76+) of the Hoover dryer. These are simple little dryers that are similar to a Maytag DE-50 in some ways. These units have a galvanized steel drum with round lint filter in the back that looks very close to the Maytag's. The Heating element is up front and halos around the opening of the drum again much like a Maytag and they provide a very soft, even heat for a small dryer. The only limitation really is their size, they are a very shallow dryer. There are not many moving parts in these, and usually they don't see a lot of use so I'd plug it in at least and check it out. The timer on these are funny, they are actually 3 cycle machines. If you turn the dial clockwise, it's in the "REGULAR" cycle and the heater runs for the time you set. If you rotate the timer counter-clockwise, the dryer runs in Permanent Press and does a cool down at the end. The area marked in red is the AIR/FLUFF cycle. the 90 and 120 marks on the timer should be marked in a different color (can't tell from pic), usually grey to mark the perm press cycle, the higher times are to compensate for the cooldown which I *THINK* is 30 minutes. It's silly really to give it a cooldown, it doesn't get all that hot and the drum is so small wrinkles are inevitable if overloaded which is easy. This was the mate to the Hoover twin-tub machines, but it was too small of a dryer IMO. You can generate enough laundry in a Hoover to fill a full-size dryer let alone this. That said, if you need a small dryer for things, it's a neat little unit. I'd take it if it were green, I have a yellow one already.
