Hell James
Hi James and welcome!
I have a similar dryer I think , I don't know its numbers but mine has a small glass window and did have blue plastic trim, this was broken so I put a chrome handle on and painted it beige to match a fifties fridge I had. It's now at my dads as his dryer as I've got a 1965 bendix washer dryer. I'll try and have a look at my machine to find where the wire goes, one thing to check if you haven't already , if yours has a small circular cover on the front to the lower right of the door , remove this and Hoover out all the fluff, it's not a filter but more a cover as this is the channel where the air is pulled through from the top of the drum to the fan, these are nice machines quiet and mine has 0,1,2,3 for temperatures. We would all love to see pics of machine , your kitchen , flat appliances, you! as we all appreciate 50 60s things All the best Richard | ||

Stray Wires
Hello James
I had a Burco dryer some years ago and i am sure it had a light in it, I can see from you pictures where the bracket would mount, and the white wire comes from the door switch and the Red from the mains. But yours appears to have that part missing Gary Have attached a picture of the model i had, this ended up in a retro kitchen of a freind of mine.

Burco
And a welcome also from South London James
Great to see you have taken the trouble to rescue this dryer, and look forward to seeing the souped up version of it. Although there is always the tendency to try and keep vintage appliances as origional as possible sometimes that cannot be done and also, at the end of the day its yours to do what you wish with it. It rather looks like another variation for the Parnall/Bendix/Fishlow dryer that has featured here on several occasions - I myself rescued the Fishlow version a couple of years ago although I have passed it on to another collector. I did take some photos of the inside at the time although I have not been able to track them down yet but will keep looking. Be great to hear of any other 50s/60s stuff you have too Al | ||

hi James i was at my Dads tonight so got chance to take some photos, the red wire from the live side of the mains block at the back goes to a small block under the timer on the right hand side. Mine also has a place for a lamp but sadly none was fitted which is a shame as it would look cool with the glass door. I hope its some use.
this pic shows my pimping attempts and the mains block at the back as well as the ducts in the lower right hand side where the fan sucks the hot air through the clothes. What washer do you have? any other vintage things? good luck Richard

1950s
James
You do like your 1950s stuff dont you :) LOVE the lamps! But I must say it all looks great :) It will be out with the hard board and panel pins next to cover up "old fashioned" panel doors LOLOLOL Do you have the fridge and cooker connected? I have been surprised by how many of those Bellings crop up - there have been a quite a few on ebay recently. Is that a Perido TV? Sorry for the inquisition Al | ||

Burco D3 & D3R
Welcome James, you have a beauty of a classic dryer there, its not often I say I like the revamped look (the rest of the gang rib me mercilessly about banging on about original features) but in this case it really has worked brilliantly.....love your home as well,
Just dug out the spares list for this dryer, the D3R is rear venting, D3 front venting.

Burco D3 & D3R
Dont you just love when manuals had headers with "Nomenclature" - meaning list of calalogue parts etc, in them...from another time!!! I do have other Burco manuals when any of you need them, washboilers, drying cabinets, wringers & twintubs.
James hope this is useful, is this to be a working dryer or for show use?? Cheers, Mike
