Hi all.
As some of you will remember, a while back Gary (electron1100) received a dryer in for scrap which he took home for safety and preservation.
As with all of us, we never have enough room (indeed i am panicking a bit as just this evening I saw another machine, which I have agreed to purchase, but thats for another day soon!) and so, for Gary, something had to go.
He very kindly offered the machine out and, through the generosity of Gary and Mathew, for the last 4 or 5 months the machine has slowly been working its way up the country to myself and Rob.
Thanks to Mathew (keymatic3203) for bringing the machine upto Cardiff, during a marathon machine moving run that would have had me collapsing through nerves! The move involved the dryer in his car and two hoovermatics in a trailer behind!!
The drag made for a very slow journey for him - I am glad you kept it quiet till after the event Mathew. I'd have been sick with worry for you.
Machine(s) arrived in cardiff for storage and I clapped eyes on the dryer, for the first time, back in July. I would have got the machine out from under Mathews feet at that point, but finished up with a Hotpoint 95360 in the car instead.
The dryer stayed down in cardiff then, until Mike's do, a couple of weekends ago, when mathew brought the machine the rest of the way to Cheshire.
A bit of tlc and it looks great, although we will keep an eye out for a replacement lid, or get the old one resprayed.
Here she is, in all her elctricity board exclusive glory - the D6E06 dryer de luxe...
