Thanks to Steve and Greg for saving one of my dream machines! I was told it leaked, but we hooked it up, ran it through a cycle, and not a drip! |

At first the mechanism was almost seized....but a little rust buster, and she was sounding just like an ABC should! |

Since it was running perfectly, we HAD to try it out and dry some towels! When this dial is set, it turns off the heat by way of a relay in the control circuit. |

This dial is for regular drying just like any other time dry dryer. I do have to get some opaque white paint and paint behind the dial since the old paint is flecking off. |

This dial, when turned on, tumbles with no heat until you set the dial to off. |

It's not often that I comment on the washers, as I am a range man myself, but I love that Philco! The "Contour Fill" is fabulous, and that control panel looks like too much fun! |

The washer buttons in order from left are: Cotton, Bright Colors, Wash'n Wear, Special, Warm Soak, Cold Soak, Extra Rinse, and one other that I can't see. Water level has Small and Large, with three dots between that either indicates five levels total, or more likely it's variable. The timer has settings for Double Wash (Soak) that leads into Regular Wash. The dryer has buttons for Regular Fabric, Wash'n Wear, Dryer Off (possibly for use with a drying rack?), and probably Delicate Fabric. The timer has selections for Auto Dry (Damp, Normal, Extra), Time Dry, and Air Fluff. Interestingly, it has a Speed Selector knob for Low Air (130 CFM), High Air (170 CFM), and Reverse Tumble which alternates between the two blower speeds and changes tumble direction every 4.5 minutes. |

I noticed the dryer can be set up for 110 OR 220 volts. Did anybody other than Westinghouse do this, too? |

Most dryers can be wired for 110 or 220v. Of course the 110v takes a looooooooooong time to dry! Even some modern dryers can be wired for 110v. Mark |

Way cool. And the ABCs get the Cool Award of the Week from me anyway. Altorfer Bros. Company. Hmm. I've never heard of them before. Anyone here know anything about them, what else they made, etc.? |
