Picked this up yesterday, from a very nice person who saved it for me. Yes, it still works, beautifully. I traded the owner a modern Whirlpool dryer for this beauty........

Data Plate.........I believe this is approx a 1966 ~ 1968 model. Philco and many other appliance makers offered a stripped bottom of the line model to appeal to a few buyers, but also to bring people into the showrooms so as to try and bump them up to a more expensive (and more profitable) model. This is of course a PHILCO-Ford product.....

The owner graciously offered me the original owners manual and installation instructions, along with one for what must have been the companion washer to this dryer. The washer (alas) was long gone, but at I was thrilled to get an original Philco-Ford WASHER manual too!

It is indeed very rare to find one of these dryers still working. They all had an inherent defect in that the fan blade would crack and "throw" a blade into the plastic shroud housing and it would break into bits. I have one of these Philco dryers presently working, but I do believe that most that are still intact had replacement fans and shrouds installed. At least I hope so! I guess time will tell, because I sure intend to use both of the Philco dryers I now have, a lot!

Texan Air Conditioner

I would love to get some pictures of the old Philco Ford Texan Air Conditioner, my parents had 3 of them. Last one died in 1986 after two self repairs for a frozen motor.

Jimmy,
This is a very cool find!
I bet this model is very hard to find!
I hope you did not get to depressed when you had to trade that newer Whirlpool dryer for it.
Thanks for sharing.
