Congratulations! Beautiful control panel. You can paint the drum with two part epoxy paint and it will last for the rest of the dryer's life. | ||

Wow Congratulations on a great find. Any dryer that age can use a thorough cleaning/de-linting of the entire blower housing, exhaust tubes, lint filter assembly/chute, everything. Also get dust and crud off the motor, a few drops of oil on each end of the motor bearings, a few more drops on the drum's main bearing(s)and you have a dryer for another 50 years. That console is quite nice, and you've got numerous heat levels, etc, a very capable and good looking dryer. | ||

Nice Early 1960s KM Dryer Congratulations on finding a rare KM dryer, this dryer should be from around 1962 and should also be a fairly easy to restore machine. And while it would be theoretically possible to keep it running for another 50 years I dough that anyone would want to use this dryer much as they were usually pretty noisy and slow and used about 25% more electricity than other electric dryers then and now. If you need any parts or technical help for it that you can't find easily get in touch with me , John. | ||
