Between this Speed Queen dryer - or the remains of a lawn tractor (both somewhat green), which would you choose? Please note - you much choose quickly as you have passing traffic on the highway behind you and also spectators at the neighboring Casey's gas station are watching to see what your next move is. I'll leave this open for discussion. Ben

If only...
There was a matching washer control panel out there in AW.org land. If so - drop me a line! Not usually one to go ga-ga over a dryer - but for some reason, this Speed Queen has inspired me enough to wire up 220v for a dryer. We shall have lights tomorrow evening! It really is a pretty (manly) dryer. Ben

WOW!!! So glad that you nabbed this dryer! They are VERY easy to repair so you shouldn't have any trouble and I'm pretty sure you can still get parts. Can't wait to know that it's up and running like new. Really beautiful dryer!!! Mark | ||

Good Choice!
Very nice - what is the model number? It looks to be about 1975-76 or so. This would be a reversing-motor washer, the TOL model had a 24 hr. soak timer and metered fill. I had the matching washer to your dryer 5 years ago. I found a lot of the washers around that time, but rarely dryers. Congrats on a beautiful piece of steel! | ||

Thanks Greg!
The scans are great - didn't know there was a drum light in the dryer. I'll be hunting for it when time permits. Wonderful set - hopefully a matching washer is still out there. I agree too - anytime a washer tells you via a light that it is rinsing is a must have feature. How else would you know? The dryer (model FE9021) appears to be in amazing shape. It came out of an old motel in a small town south of Waterloo - so it was never in a basement. Practically rust free except for a few scrapes on the base. I've gone back to inquire about a matching washer but no one seems to be managing the joint. Guess that is why you will find a "Under New Management" sign in the door window. Here is a shot after getting it hooked up to some 220v. Everything works great, although there is a scraping noise that either sounds like a roller going back or something is stuck somewhere and dragging. I'll try to dig into it soon so I can do laundry at the house! Ben
