Very cool Dryer! I think we talked about this dryer years ago on the club. Was it manufactured by Rheem? Impressive that it has an electronic pilot. I wonder if that is original. Tom what do you know about this beauty? Brent |

T-cub, yes I did see the posting thru this thread. It is a unique dryer and I think I remember seeing that other thread about it. I just sent the seller an e-mail and I'll go look at it if it's still available, BUT the biggest problem I have right now is my truck is out if commission (clutch slave cylinder), so it will be rather difficult to bring it home!! |

Hard to believe, that Rheem was mostly noted for their water heaters, yet they made no washer to use it with! |

The one nearby is in use by an old lady in her 80's, she has a round Maytag wringer (model?) with the red agitator and knob that she uses. Both the washer and dryer are in OK condition. The dryer is in a room by itself, and it's pretty dingy looking. I *THINK* it works. There is no room to hang clothes in this tiny apartment, so I assume that's why she even has a dryer to begin with. -Tim |

I suspect that these dryers were marketed more through the gas companies rather than through appliance stores. My grandmother had this dryer paired with a Whirlpool washer with the button lid release which comes up on some of the PODs. The left pink square on the backsplash was a high/low pushbutton switch with pilot lights behind. The right square was a timer (clockwork...tick tick tick). The exhaust was behind the grille on the center back of the backsplash---vented straight out the back up at the top of the dryer. I suspect that she got this not before 1953, when they moved from Chicago out to the suburbs.
