Very beautiful Norge and Whirlpool dryers!!
Sorry that I have been out of the loop for so long.
About a month ago, I was promoted to Manager, Electric Operations for my service center. Although I was extremely happy just being an engineer, I am enjoying this new position, too. The only drawback is the 5:30 AM to 5:30 PM Monday through Saturday working hours. On the good side though, I only have to work about 4 hours on Sundays and will only be on call or back up every other week. It certainly doesn't leave much time for appliance hunting or restoring.
I hope that you have enjoyed these photos. I didn't shoot any of the Maytags either because last time I did, nobody wanted any of them. There is still one Avocado green 806 set left and a few older dryers.
Tom - there are still quite a few Hamilton dryers for parts for you.
I am still working on both the WI-56 & WI-57 washers in my 'spare' time. I found every part I needed except for a TALL pulsator nut 5433639. Anyone have a used one you could spare or trade?

The LJD Whirly dryer is 1961/1962. I grew up with an LJA3200 washer, bought in January of 1962.
Would love to see more details on the controls!

Yeah Rich! Thanks for getting me the Speed Queen dryer! Let me know if you need any other help picking stuff up. Can you put my name on the Hamilton washer? Been looking for one of those for a long time! Yeah!
Wow!
That is a LOT of appliances! I love that last Kenmore picture! If that were closer to Portland, OR I'd be picking that baby up!

Nice finds Rich!
Hey Rich,
Very nice finds! Do you have any previous pics of the Avocado Maytag set? I'm still interested.
Cheers

Rich, glad for your promotion, but it sounds like a lot of hours. Thanks for sharing the pictures and for remembering me and the Hamiltons. Did you get a close look at the turquoise Western Holly with the surround cabinet & vent system to control noxious fumes? Did you happen to notice if that big wide Maytag dryer in the first picture was as well preserved as the chrome around the control panel? It was probably already a Halo of Heat, but it sure looked nice. Thanks again, Tom

Harvest Gold Kenmore Set
Hi,
I know someone who may be interested, if I can convince him to spend the money for shipping on the Gold Kenmores with the control panel covers. If you can get pictures, that may help me convince him. I understand with your new position you are very busy, so no hurry on this end. If you get the pix, I will get them to this guy.
Jimmy speaks very highly of you to me so I look forward to meeting you at a wash-in if I get back East.
Thanks,
Mike

Nice pics! I also picked up a Poppy red Frigidaire 'fridge today, but mine is a top mount, not a S/S.

I have an ad for this Norge Dryer that dates it as a 1958 mo
As for the Whirlpool with Modulated Heat...if I am not mistaken that was the Whirlpool version of Kenmore's Soft Heat. The way it worked was when the wet clothes were first put in the dryer, that was a "signal" for the dryer to provide full heat input from the heating unit. As the clothes dryed and the temp inside the dryer rose to the proper level the dryer would then starting slowly reducing the temprature until the clothes were dry and the dryer shut off. Did I get that right guys? PAT COFFEY
