WHITE WESTINGHOUSE SPACE MATE DRYER
I recently found one of these dryers and restored it to good working order, but it still needs a paint job. This is the first dryer our family of six got in 1957, it worked very well but it didn't hold up well. It was repaired at least six times and was replaced buy a 1964 Kenmore 70 electric dryer that never broke down.

Lint trap (?) Interesting dryer and a rare find to boot! On the door it says to "Clean lint trap frequently." You can see right through the vent to the back of the drum. Where is the filter? Is it missing? | ||

There was a box that could be mounted on the rear of the dryer to house a lint filter, but I think that was for if it was not vented. I don't think the exhaust hose or pipe could be attached to that box, but my memory is hazy about that. | ||

WESTINGHOUSE SPACE MATE DRYER
Yes this is a positive air flow dryer and it can leak a lot air out around the front & rear felt drum seals along with lots of lint.The 1950s WH slant front dryers were also positive air flow dryers but there was a second steel shell around the dryer drum so it was much sealed against air leakage and therefor didn't make nearly the mess of lint.
