I used two dryers to make the one workable dryer. One electric and one gas. The inside of the gas dryer was so corroded that it took two dryers to make one good one. No more pilot light, so that wont happen again.

I built these for my aunt. They like out in the country, and the power company charges very high rates becasue of that. So they had to have a gas dryer.

The washe was torn down and rebuilt as well. The paint on both these machines is original however. What a lot of polishing can get you..... <:

These were a score from Kenny (Goatfarmer) I have had many very nice machines over the years from Kenny.

Beautiful set, cool how you change the dryer to electronic ignition, wish I had the knowledge to do that to my DG806.
