Finally! One of the many things I did on the long Canadian Thanksgiving weekend was to pick up the GE Clothes Conditioner Dryer I scored from Craigslist a couple of weeks ago and the 68 Simplicity wringer washer that was in storage for nearly 3 years now! At the moment, they are both temporarily residing in the new garage, but I fully intend to get that nifty dryer into regular service soon!

I still get a kick out of the 'Synethetic Suit De-Wrinkle' setting!
The paint is a little rough on one side of the dryer and there is the inevitable rusting of some edges from 50 years service in a basement laundry.
Should I consider refinishing the cabinet??

Inside the washer

I had forgotten the agitator was white - I am guessing this not the original one. All the wringers I ever owned had a black bakelite one!
It needs a good cleaning but otherwise it's in great shape - even the wringer rolls are smooth and soft!

That is the washer I got in a bidding war with 2 Mennonites.
Glad I didn't get it. It went for over $600.00.
It had the white agitator and black cap too.

Whoa! $600 for a wringer washer like this?? You'll never believe where this one came from - my father saved it from the curbside knowing that I was interested in vintage washers!

Good to know the white agitator was original, too.

Air freshener button - how's that work?

I am sure that someone posted something about the air freshener button and how it worked on the GE dryer - am I wrong in thinking it was some kind of a small spray bottle?

Paul... what a beautiful wringer. I love any kind of washers but wringers are my very favorite. I would love to see this one in action. I also see your favorite memory machine was a 1955 whirlpool wringer. That is my dream machine to find!

I say great washer and dryer now all you need is to find the Washer that matchs the dryer.

Hi Paul

That Dryer looks like it could match Robert's GE that he recently scored. Maybe that was mentioned already. Love that agitator in the wringer.

Yes, actually this does look like a match - I'd love to score that washer myself!
Still waiting to hear something about the westy slant-fronts in Toronto... It's driving me crazy...
