For the size of the door, this machine has great capacity. It is also relatively quiet! I believe the heater box is mounted in the front of the dryer (I want to say front left, but could be either side). Lint screen throught the access panel under the door. I believe there is also a drum light that can be rigged to stay lit throughout the cycle. | ||

Thanks ...and you are right, the capacity is very large on the inside. Quite deceptive from that little porthole window. | ||

Heater is in the front on the right side, blower fan is in the upper left corner - no lint screen. The heat/air flow pattern is similar to a 29" Whirlpool dryer except in front of the machine rather than the back. The capacity seems larger due in part to the small opening - it makes the tub seem gigantic but it was quickly overloaded with more than a 9lb washer load. I had this model in electric, replaced all the felt seals, made sure it didn't leak around the door, etc. and it was still the slowest dryer I've ever used, I couldn't even imagine using it with a bolt-down Bendix washer. It doesn't matter really, it's cute as a button! | ||

Congratulations on a great find. Looks like the mate to this dryer would be the Bendix Economat -- the one with the rubber tub. At least the controls look similar. I've seen only one other and have never seen one in use. Jerry Gay | ||

What a cute machine and in such wonderful condition. Any story that goes with it concerning its history? | ||

Another thing I forgot to mention....inside the basket it has a very nice, antique-y smell! Kind of an old, dusty, powdery-sweet scent, like Grandma's house I guess :P | ||
