Thanks Peter......do you still have your Philco dryer from Aberdeen? I got mine running, but it took three dryers to make one good one! They ALL have broken fans and fan shrouds! Im so pleased the one pictured here is still good.......
Congrats Jimmy!
I'm finally getting a vacation and am spending the first part of the week appliance hunting. I already made one trip home with 2 beautiful Frigidaire dryers. From Wednesday on, I'll be at the York train show. I've been calling and poking around the Philly suburb area for 2 days and have absolutely NO leads on Philco parts or appliances for you. I found another Frigidaire lead, but I think we're full of Frigidaire parts now.
So have lots of fun with your Philco!

Philco Ford!
Nice Find Jimmy I Know how much you enjoy the Philco's And to get the owners manual as well! Thats way cool It's amazing what some people keep around ! Its funny though it seems like the older I get time seems to fly by! And some of the things I think are Fairly "New" are 20 years old LOL. I'll always have a love for "Ford" Products .

Hi Tim, yes those Philco-FORD products were great. BTW, I took these pictures just for you, notice NO CAT LITTER box in the photos?
Who would have thought this would have made it - pretty fun looking Philco. Love the door.

Hey Jimmy,
What a great find. I hope it was close by after all the trips you often take to rescue these machines. Also glad to see it works perfectly! I hope you can find a washer and create a matched set.
Talk with you soon.

WOW, the only thing cheaper would be a clothes line. I can't see the wattage on the name plate, but it would be interesting to see if Philco did like Sears and Frigidaire, putting a lower wattage heating element in the low end models. Maybe they used a smaller heater in this one to lessen the fire hazard with the plastic door. Frigidaire even used a smaller blower. Frigidaire probably used it just like Sears did as a way to move the customer to a more expensive dryer. Given the timer location, it's easy to see where a coin box could go for commercial use. It's nice that yours is late enough to have the metal lint screen. Originally Philco used a nylon sock-shaped lint filter. Consumer Reports found the lint filter location very inconvenient to access for cleaning. This dryer's door is what came to mind when I saw those Bosch dryers with the plastic door plug instead of a window.

The door looks like its plastic, but is actually metal. The Philco dryer manual shows all its dryers as 4800 watts.......

Nice Philco Dryer Save Jimmy, Oh those old Philco dryers I have never seen one in person only photos. I remember CR rating them near the bottom of the barrel in 1969 when they tested dryers. 4800 watts, that is slow drying speed too. Who cares, just a great dryer to have! Enjoy
