OMG what a wonderful find Joe! Congratulations, the Philco is simple amazing. I believe its a 1961 model and the first year they went to a true perforated tub. I think that machine used a blue top filter/dispenser assembly and I think I might have one in the basement. I'll look tomorrow and let you know. If I do it's yours. The Filtrator is fabulous too. We don't use ours during the summer, but by October its so fun to fill the house with the wonderful smell of filtrator dryed clothes. | ||

Thanks
to all for your kind compliments. I've been working hard this week to get all these machines ready for use. There are a few minor details to work out here and there but that's miniscule. Seriously guys, I have to be done collecting. There is no more room for installing machines, and I'll not have a cluttered basement. Robert's right about it being a '61 and he's sending me a filter -- YAY! PeterH770, all the rubber is original. I'm keeping glycerin on the rubber when I'm not using the machine as to help preserve it. I'll bet if you could locate a fabricator and were will to pay, they can make you a new flapper. | ||

How does it work?
The Filtrator heats with calrod's in the upper left portion of the dryer, this in turn heats the dryer tub. A fan driven off the drive motor draws air thru the tub down and across the filtrator tubes, the condensed water in the tubes falls to a collection tray below that is emptied at the end of the days use.
