Vintage Dryer

Found  this on the local craigslist. Looks like it could have been used at a laundromat. Thought someone might be intrested in it.

surpream cleaners

Hi I went to see this dryer and it is as big as a house….it is gas and heavy…it originally came from surpream cleaners in tucson in the late 50s and early 60s….after they closed it moved up the street to clean towls in a engine and car cleaner…..neat but would cost a tow truck to lift and deliver..and than what do you do with it…sadly it will be scraped and they wont give it away….mark in tucson

Did they say how long they are going to continue trying to sell it? I don't know what I would do with it. I'm leaving today after work and won't be back till next Wednesday.

dryer

They were an attorneys office selling for the state …It will be torn down in six months for road widening…I asked if he would give it to me before they juck it and he said maybe ..Its probably worth the money I just need to hire a tow truck to deliver and it would be a yard relic for me..Its way cool I will take it but I would like it to go to a collector…If I get it I will hold it till the right guy comes along…Im thinking its around 1956 to 60…My sister used these machines on her 1st job in summer or 1963…believe me its not going somwhere fast…Its not as small as a laundromat dryer its for about 4 times that amount Its about 7 ft tall...
