Try using some rubbing compound on the paint. I've gotten paint that is in much worse condition than your to look VERY presentable.

Ok Peter. I may buy some from your collection once I have more room.

That's a grand looking machine - with big footprint. I wonder what they thought the cone on the back of the drum was for. The "Cone of Fluffilation" maybe?

Some of your appliance parts have formed unholy unions and are trying to steal away into the world ;-)

Maybe the cone houses a bearing fit for a Milnor triple loader? :D

Beautiful dryer Peter! I wonder how hot it gets? Is it similar to the Westy "oven" dryers to make up for the small exhaust?

Usually a cone on the back of the drum held some of the shaft and trunion support within. I'm sure someone has some Hamilton parts books around and a scanner... Else it keeps the load from forever rubbing against the back, because if the back gets too hot, it could scortch (or at least look bad). As for the Milnor, they don't have a cone, just a little hub build up to protect one huge mo'fo' tub bolt.

What was the brand name of the fabric softener "pillow" that you stuck to the ribs in the dryer? This one has the leftover velcro-like adhesive on one...

Buddy, funny you say that. I was in my off-site storage yesterday. There are 14 machines there, and only a few machines to which I am attached (1-18 CI dryer, Philco dryer, pink Westy Spacemates, Bendix Deluxe). I think I will give most of them away for free when the time is right (bug-eye Kenmore, Westy slant front dryer, 55 GE dryer, 2 1-18's in dubious condition, '63 Frigidaire dryer..). First things first, I'm giving up the 10x15 unit and taking on a 10x30 unit, and all the machines at home are going there. I need to reclaim my house desperately....

BTW, this dryer is 31" wide... How wide is a Norge washer?
