Congrats Phil!
Those are some beautiful machines....and a matched set no less! What a find!
Where did you end up finding a new motor?
Congratulations once again!

Here it is in action! (this time, it's not just the white machine with the Turquoise machine's top!), it's the one that just got the Canadian motor/transmission transplant!
Whew!! Phil, I knew you could do it and am very glad you did.

I thought the dryer would be an easy fix but the wiring has been messed up, the door heater had been removed and the inner door was all rusty from the condensation. I used many parts from the white dryer to fix it and now I'm wondering if I should fix the white one, keep it for parts or make it a regular vented dryer as I think I have most parts to do that.
Here's the turquoise dryer that I just fixed, will decide what to do with the white one tomorrow!

Wow, it looks better than the pile of parts on the floor I saw yesterday... LOL Geez, you really did get these beauties back up and running quickly. Further shame on me for the '57 GE that I got in 2012 and still have done less than nothing to LOL
Congratulations Phil, they are outstanding!!
I wouldn't completely condemn the white dryer - I think your idea of turning it into a Flowing Heat model sounds good.

The Turquoise washer is washing whites and the white one is washing blue and green!
Paul, the post-1960 Filtrator dryers are also "Flowing Heat", at least that's what the control panel says! Instead of flowing through the dryer once, the heated air flows in a loop in it. The hot air, instead of being exhausted, gets cooled by the condenser to remove the moisture and it's heated again before entering back into the dryer drum.
The early Filtrators like yours (and my 1957) were more of the clothes-broiling variety!
