Sean in California you should get this dryer and use the parts to upgrade your beautiful turquoise Imperial dryer to a Mark 12 and convert to it to gas and really experience speedy 37,000 BTUs of drying power.
But they are asking way too much for that Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII dryer. If it was closer to $200 or even $300 I’d consider but $1500 is way out of my budget at the moment.
If I were to pay $1500 for that dryer, I’d expect it to be in mint condition or even new in box but since it looks like it was used all these years, I wouldn’t value it more than $100 or $125.
