Thanks John, will do. The front felt on this one is intact just a few of the staples have given it up although I would love to have a spare front felt either that or I'll look more into msc and there hi-temp nomex type felt along with some appropriate thread. I should be able to fabricate the staples. I'm a aircraft mechanic/inspector by trade so I have plenty of stainless safety wire. I might even make little pads so the wire doesn't pull through the felt. The only thing that worries me right now is the amount of corrosion on the wire terminals but on the bright side I have a spare to work on.
I did a full load of wet laundry in it last night and and it took exactly one hour, the bell chimed and the dryer shut off and the clothes were definitely dry. The only thing it didn't do was run through the cool down cycle, any thoughts on that? I don't have any operating or repair manuals for this machine but it seems pretty straightforward. If I have to buy one I will but it will definitely have to wait until after Christmas.
