Sears Lady Kenmore Gas Dryer

[MaryMay]

This dryer was left in the house I just purchased. It worked just fine for 4 months, but then it stopped working. No idea why it's not working but I want to sell it to a refurbish shop possibly.

Any idea how old this is or if it is worth anything? I have more photos of it.

Thanks!

When you lift the cover up, you can access the dial.

The serial number indicates manufacture in the 41st week of 1970.

That's a very collectable dryer especially if it has the modulating SOFT HEAT gas valve.

Does anyone here know when KM dropped that feature on their gas dryers?

Again, in terms of value, it is worth the most to a Kenmore collector who is trying find a mate to 1970 model Lady K washer. The fact that it doesn't run would put its value, in my opinion, between $50-$150.
