I think a big hardware store would have both the correct tubing and you could replace the dryer cord too. | ||

I used mine with 3" vent tubing and a 3" to 4" reducer at the wall vent. That dryer has a very powerful blower but the heavy steel fan housing sends most of the noise outside - it's a trip to hear, the machine is louder outside than in! The cord on your dryer is typically used on ranges, as Brian said, you can get an actual dryer cord that has the center blade at a 90 degree angle to match your outlet. Best of luck - it sure is in nice condition! | ||

Deco yes the two parts you talk about are easily available at Home Depot or your local hardware store. Early dryers had 3" vents, then they switched to 4" vents. 3" vent tubing is still used in bathroom exhuast fans and similar type of fans so its easy to find. Someone installed an electric range plug on the dryer it sounds like, but it's a very easy switch to pop a dryer cord on.

Thanks for the responses guys now, how do I change the cord? :P I've never undertaken such a task before and don't want to create a fire hazard, or worse! | ||
