the fabulous "Contourfill"

Philco called its washing system "Blades of Water" and its agitator was the "Flex A Wash" What a glamorous washer!

I redid the dryer last week, making one good complete dryer out of three that I had. They are as hard to find as the washers, but are a very good dryer and run especially quiet too.

This is the Philco "Sens A Dry" 4 cycle dryer. Got to love the marketing names they gave to all their designs~!

Porthole glass door with original factory sticker still on it.......

Drop down front panel, to access lint filter. Notice the safety switch, that keeps the dryer from running with this panel open.

Philco lint filter. Not one of their best ideas, as its rather cumbersome to access and empty.......

All done, ready for bed, and Philco night lights in the laundry room! thanks for looking! This is one of my favorite sets.

Great looking set, thanks for the paint tips! I find the relationship between Philco and Ford interesting. It seems to be a "me too" type thing to the GM-Fridigaire thing going on at the same time. It's too bad that Philco appliance division didn't survive to this day...that's a really nice, well-built machine you have there. Were they yet another casualty to WCI?

What I also find curious is that the "blue oval" Ford logo did not appear on automobiles between 1938 to 1986, when it made it first re-appearance on the Tarus. Ford however had no problem using it on other things

Wow! You'd never know this machine sat outside for 25 years now, it just sparkles. The paint tips are great, your paint shaker idea was brilliant.

Beautiful job and great idea on the painting. BTW, according to Rich Hall the author of "Sniglets," the little mixing ball inside a can of spray paint is called a "glacket."
