Hey John COmbo
It's completely apart in the basement( which is how I was able to carry it from the garage inside single-handedly!)
So----any advice for additional felt gaskets you want to throw me will be appreciated. It seems like the lint filter housing is the source of most lint. Also, this had a 3 inch vent attached to the back, not the required 4. That must have held up the airflow for decades and sent lint all inside the cabinet. My 1960 model was the same before I replaced the lint filter with excellent new stiff felt, the exhaust air escaped under the filter door, heated up the top of the machine like a griddle. The 1960 is now only warm to the touch, barely, but I will gladly take advice on firm good gasketing, and then go back to the 1960 with the same results.
Also----Felt as opposed to closed cell foam? What are the different uses, for the overall washer-dryer hobbyists like us?
Thanks in advance, now it's downstairs with a vacuum and some rags and brooms, all that lint!! Oh, the interior lint includes mouse turds and about 30 dead bees.
So far, all wiring and the heater element look great, just need de-linted.
