Don't hit the panic button. Asbestos used to be all over the place and somehow most of mankind has survived. It's not like you are working in a factory that produces it. |

There's as an asbestos plate in my Canadian '53 Westy dryer that I found during restoration; fortunately it was firmly glued/cemented to the heater cover. However exposure to it could explain a lot in my case.... LOL
The timer dial may seem hard to turn if the lubricant in the escapement has dried up or hardened; this happened with mine. The dryer still worked, however. As mentioned, test the dryer as soon as you can to determine what is and isn't working.
Congratulations on your 'new' find!!
