I don't think I've ever seen a Whirlpool dryer of this vintage with such a spartan panel.

And what's funny is that when this dryer was brand new, it probably sold for about the same price on sale! | ||

It's probably a non coin-op commercial model. | ||

It reminds me of the "Capri" models Sears treated like step kids. | ||

What is really funny to me, is that I remember when Sears used to do big full page ads in the newspaper of a 1 cycle, 1 speed washer for $99 and dryer for $68 back in the late 60's-early 70's. Plenty funny. | ||

We had two competing discount appliance stores in the DC area in the late 70s, Luskins and George's. This would have been the type machine offered in the ads to get people in, but they actually would sell these things, too. A friend bought a $99 new Gibson dryer there, one cycle and one temp. | ||

Flashback -- Whirlpool Waher/Dryer B.O.L. Sparatan-Set: I have seen a folded cardboard box for a Whirlpool washer at my cousin's place in Maine once, along the basement stairwell, at the house they'd lived in before they got the one they live in now--which was much more fun...!
I believe it was for a Whirlpool washer though I don't think I've ever seen the washer--or even a dryer at that place...
Before that, they'd lived at some walk-up apartment (and the second one I remember; the first had a gas stove my cousin was trying to keep my very little 'year-old-hands off of the knobs of--so that was when they were last in Michigan) when they'd just moved to that state, so I remember how the range there was electric... And maybe they had that washer & dryer there...
They were probably a short jaunt from a laundry mat, until they moved to the house they live at now, after-which my cousin had grown & moved out (to Cincinatti, Ohio) so just my aunt & uncle still live there...
But if I had ever seen any Whirlpool washer & dryer set, prior to their Amana W&D set they'd gotten afterwards, I could vividly remember it looking like that...
