Loads Of Satisfaction - 1960 LK Dryer

[rickr]

Beautiful dryer Greg! Congratulations on finding yet another NEW machine. I would have to say you are on a roll.... <:
I am sure that the matching washer will show up one day, one never knows.... The pink 57 Lady's have been showing up lately, so keep your fingers crossed!

Now you know you must share the story of how you found this never been used dryer. <: How odd!!!

Here you go, Bob! A few pages from the OM - the cover & overleaf were the only things in the manual that applied to this model.

You've done something huge

I have never been interested in dryers, never once; they do nothing for me--UNTIL TONIGHT. Now you've made a convert. That thing is gorgeous and compelling and intriguing. How long did it take you to get to Kansas and did you see Dorothy?

No info on what is different between Normal, Delicate, and w'n'nW?

PS Gentlemen of the Club and Ladies

It's quite a night for our two Gregs, both showing pics of two NIB vintage classics from almost the same year, and both TOL's, with simutaneous threads. What a hoot!

Electric it is - 8900 watts of drying power @ 50 amps.

I don't really know much of the story except that the people who found it at an auction in Kansas knew that it hadn't been used since they are mid-century furniture collectors, thought it would be great in a new house they plan to build. Plans changed and they decided not to use the dryer. I suspect it was originally bought for someone and they never had wiring for it, or were line-drying devotees. A big thank-you to the Dudeks of Manhattan, KS for saving this amazing and beautiful machine!

Just read the manual

Now you'll have thoroughy and properly sprinkled laundry all automatically for your session at the mangle. You must be very happy.

Aferim!

Once again, you manage to find the only Kenmore I would ever want to own. What a beautiful piece of equipment! It looks incredibly heavy. Is it?
