I am going to have to read that awesome description a few times to visualize it, ---but humor me here-- It appears perhaps that there was no fan pushing air through the durm. I gather it was an induved convetion air-current? Is this possible? Reading the above, knowing how today's dryers work, is like trying to to visualize why self-cleaning gas stoves were a challenge to creat and build. Once you know how the issues were resolved and know how things adn engineering generally work now, it is hard to go backwards in time and "see" the engineering challenges. |

LOL!!! I kinda doubt it! She sent me a very loving email this morning, saying "Merry &^%$# Christmas, you @*^! Now, what the *&^%$ do I do with it." She got it for $20. The last dryer I got this inexpensively was lost in a hurricane. I better get this one shipped to me quick! If someone can look up the weight and measurements of this dryer for me and post them here, I would greatly appreaciate it. |

YAY! Congratulations Peter on the Hamilton! I know you'll be able to restore this beauty and get it away from "fire-hazard status"! Happy vintage drying! |

All kidding aside, have you not considered doing it yourself? (We are a manly lot, are we not?) Since I usually detect leaks better than anyone, I tend to do great leak-free work, .....and to code. I actually had to connect my own gas dryer in my early 20's and survived. Progressed from there. Have thread sealant, will travel. (BTW, there is now teflon tape for this!!!) |
