The weekend started off great when Graham (sharples) and I visited Jimmy on Friday. It's always such fun to see his 14+ matched sets. Friday night, we did some laundry in some of my machines and worked on some of the vintage washer & dryer panels Graham brought with him.

Saturday morning we started off to the warehouse and watched as the following came off the truck. Our weekend was unfortunately cut short when we got the call that Frank was taken to the ER by ambulance. Since we didn't get to bring anything home, we at least got to tke some pics of what just came in.

First is a GE dryer:

All in all, not a bad haul from one truck. Mike (spatsbear) was coming over Sunday to get his washer & dryer set to his storage unit. But there will be more time to get them there another weekend.

Are those elements on the Frigidaire origional? I didnt think they put the fat ones on that early, im prolly wrong but they just look odd to me.

Choo choo man, are you never gonna share wid me? How many jetcones does it take to satisfy a train guy? A one, two oo, thrrree?

Nice scores there, Rich.

And again, I hope Frank is alright.

Re.G.E. Dryer

Trainguy that Ge. dryer we had when I was growing up at home. It was a good dryer and had it quite a long time. Wish they still made them like they used to. Thanks for a trip down memory lane. Danf.

We don't see Hotpoint dryers too often. Is it anything like a GE dryer, or is it a completely different beast?

Congrats!

Hotpoint dryers were their own unique product until the early seventies; then they became bebadged GE's. Although I have also learned on this site that the 31" huge capacity GE dryer that was sold between 1969 and the late seventies was originally a Hotpoint design. An old friend of mine who was in the appliance business in the 50's and 60's said that GE used Hotpoint as a testing ground for new gizmos, bells and whistles. There was always some give and take.

I would love that 806s. I wish that you could still buy suds-savers, saves water, detergent, and fuel.

Given the mention on the other thread about how the early Hamilton dryers worked, how about these condenser driers. They make such a thing about the sealed system...they used water to condense...did they really not have a blower and just Calrodded the clothes dry?

Hotpoint dryer

Atlanta
they sure did We had one when I was ten years old growing up in NJ. it took for ever to dry the clothes. I rember that the hose from it was hung over the laundry tub and their was a small steady stream of warmish water comming out with globs of lint in the water. it always clogged the drain up. you had to be careful if you opened the door during drying or you would get a face full of hot steam. the push buttoms were lit in different colors when pushed. hi was red, med was pink lo was amber and the air was blue assunimg that my memory is correct and that was 43 years ago in 1964. by 1966 we had a Hotpoint Siloette 16 until I come back to CA in 1998. good reliable dryer.
