Our 68 or 69 Philco Duomatic had that control panel, but the buttons were all black and the areas above them were a dark turquoise. They lit up nicely when the control panel light (full width behind the plastic lens below the buttons) was on. Our control panel devoted 4 buttons to the wash. The settings boiled down to: hot/warm, warm/warm/, warm/cold, cold/cold. The dryer puttons were: Normal Dry, Perma Press, No Heat and Dryer Off. On the left of the big dial was the load size dial and on the right of the big dial was the dryness selector dial. Perma Press Dry had an interesting cool down. When the load was dry, the main heat shut off, but an 1100 watt heater stayed on and so did the cold water condensing system. The powerful blower recirculated the air through the drum and the cold water condenser which gradually cooled the air. The 1100 watt heater kept the clothes from getting damp. Periodically, a chime would sound to let you know the clothes were in cool down and ready to be removed. Three minutes before the dryer shut off in the Perma Press cool down, the water valve closed and the water in the sump was pumped out, but the machine and the water shut off at the same time at the end of normal dry so it was safest to keep a small bowl under the washer lint trap so that the cup of water would not spill into the machine and onto the floor when it was opened for cleaning. That machine dried clothes perfectly. Once set to the dryness level the user preferred, there was no under or over drying and the clothes came out so soft. I wish I could have saved it, but the parents vetoed that. I never had the opportunity to use one of the vented Duomatics, but they were faster than the condensers. Instead of a solid drum back, the drum back in the vented Duomatics was heavily perforated.
