Someone may want to check this out in the St. Louis, MO area. Seller did not post photos, but the description says it has the manual that comes with it. Sounds good to me!

There needs to be a little circle of hell set aside for Craig's list people who don't post photos.

The seller just sent me these...
Yes it's a 1957 Lady Kenmore, exactly like mine. This is a 50amp dryer which makes it nice and speedy. I love this dryer.

The Room Heater Attachment, I use this all the time to take the chill off of the basement in January...
You guessed it...
Uhuhuhuhuh - a 50 amp dryer....everyone needs one of these! No wonder people with Kenmore washers didn't mind that sad 525 rpm spin ;-)
oooooh works with or without clothes in the machine!
How many watts is the heater?

8600 luscious watts of dryer power!

oh I wish I could have a pair like this. One day...(dreaming)...
That's hot!
watts x 3.413 = BTU
(50a) 8,600 watts x 3.413= 29,352 BTU [say 29,000 rounded.]
(30a) 5,000 watts x 3.413= 17,065 BTU [say 17,000 rounded.]
IIRC domestic gas dryers are 22,000 BTU, but it should be noted that gas combustion gives off water-vapor, so perhaps 17k btu electric = 22k gas.

Seller has listed the dryer and room heater/hair dryer attachment on ebay - separately.
It's room heater attachment anyway, not a hair dryer, although I suppose one could stand there and dry their hair!
attachment
Use it or not, I think it would be nice to keep the two components together as opposed to seperating them. If I could buy them both I would. If someone just saved the dryer but doesn't want the vent attachment then maybe I can bid on it so someone in the club could have it for one of their machines.

I tried to find it last night and couldn't, but I have a picture somewhere of a woman illustrated in front of the machine, fluffing her hair. I can't imagine Sears would let Norge get the jump on the hair-drying market segment! I would guess that the directions said to NOT dry clothes while using it to dry your hair.
I have the instructions for the '57 LK Room Heater attachment home and I'll post it when I get a chance. Interesting enough on the 1958 Lady Kenmore dryer they had the device to heat the room built in, with no seperate module, here are the instructions for that machine...
