Oh my gosh, I'm going to have to change my M.O.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But no, not even Gordon is keen on that set. If the washer was a belt-drive, then perhaps. I enjoy rescuing down-trodden machines, but these don't speak to me... A set that only Gordon could love...good grief! :-) P.S. - there was a couple belt-drive models that looked exactly like these, only difference was a white control knob vs. the black. Sears had a 1981 version in a 24-inch cabinet, and a 1982 version in a 29-inch large capacity guise. There was also a 1980 standard capacity 29-inch model. Any of those would be fun to have just to have the BOLiest that you can get. |

BOLiest, a.k.a. UGLYiest? hehehe
(I shoudln't knock this set - I grew up with a dryer almost identical to this one, except the white plastic was black with white knobs, and the 'blank' panel area had fake woodgrain. I remember playing with the pull down door for hours. The nylon/plastic door cords were quite amusing for a young pup like me. Ah, memories...) Ben |

Mickey -
There are several ways really. First, the black control knob, half of which is missing, is strictly a DD era knob. But, had that been missing, the console is screwed to the top with two visible screws, one on each front corner. They didn't use these in the belt-drive models because the console is attached from the back and from underneath instead. Also, yes, the lid is much bigger all around, especially front to back. The belt-drive models also didn't have the fill-portion, which also highlights temperatures, highlighted in black like this one does, but I may be the only one who'd notice that. G |
