Glide conversion kit

Hi Jimmy,

Do you have a part number for the glide conversion kit. I would like to convert my V-12 if possible. The rollers have some pretty bad flat spots. The dryer heating helps some, but compared to the V14 or Versatronic, it could benefit from the conversion.

It is also interesting how much my dryer is different inside with respect to the drive belt and blower ducting.

Looks great

Hi Tim,

I look forward to seeing it all back together. Does the dial light up at all? I have never seen these models in person. I can sure appreciate the effort. The lettering will take a lot of patience I am sure.

My V12 from about the same era uses a belt that goes around the drum and the internal ducting on the bottom of the dryer is different. The heating element design appears the same though.

Speaking of Dial's

THANKS to Bajaespuma! I was able to "manufacture" This Dial to match the washer! Pretty Crafty Eh?? and Mike This Dryer doesnt use a Belt. I was suprised as well the Drum just sits in there and rolls on the rubber rollers. And Hopefully This Dial will light up when its all done..Tim
