I don't see any sign of an exhaust port.  Is this a condensing dryer?

exhaust port

it looks like the port is the older 3" diameter, hidden somewhat by the cord in this pic. And it looks like there are alternative port locations, check out the round covers up near the top of the rear cover, and the rear of the console cover.
Right now, $300 is too rich for my blood.

Oh, one can always negotiate a better deal if the seller really plans on moving it out. Having to ship it is a whole different story. Logistics. Probably weighs like a block of granite.

Nice Do-All-Dial Dryer might attract the matching Washer over time. 'Ya never know.

It would be worth a lot if it had the matching washer to go with it.

Occasionally the POD has this dryer along with the washer in an ad. I don't recall ever seeing one of these although I probably wouldn't remember by now anyway. Used dryers sold very well, especially gas. I assume a lot of dryer-less people hooked them up in the garage near the water heater. I had forgotten all about 3" vents. From a retail standpoint, it was illegal to sell them.

These were heavy dryers, whats with the ads pictures, #10 is of a much newer GE dryer where they are showing the interior light, LOL.

It was the "Interior Drum Light" tag that was the teaser and helped to sell it. LOL!
