Looks like the agitator was replace at some point with a later 60's turqoise and they put the original chrome cap on it. | ||

Kind of nice, don't you think? Sort of "blends" in; even though it's not the original black. I would even add the fabric softener cup; you could then walk away and let her wash!! :-) | ||

Veg - Yes it is! That dispenser first appeared on the A142B around 1958/59ish, and was used on TOL models (142,160,700,900,702,902,806,906 - might be missing some!) for quite some time, until they changed the beach system completely starting around Series 01/02 (mid 70's), to the larger style on the left hand side. The revised dispenser was used on most of the line expect the lowest models when the change was made in the mid-70's. That dispenser is a very strong memory of mine on my mom's 806. Ben | ||

Oh Geoff, I wish I had something to tell about this set! After seeing Greg's machines out behind his garage the nite of the convention, I've wanted to find a 140/141/700/702 turquoise set - but I have a feeling that my friend in crime would be interested in this particular Ohio set if he so chooses!

To both Pete's -- On the 500 series (Super Highlander) dryer's I've seen, the auto units have 4 buttons, like the dial of an 806 dryer. The dryer (700) in the picture looks like it has 3 buttons, maybe for perm press/regular and giving you the option for air fluf - then the dial would be the time? I agree Peter - that dial is hard to read! I wish I was dryer-savvy... Ben - who is now yearning for a Dryer service manual! | ||

does it seem the washer has been used hard? does it look like the porcelain on the basket has worn away toward the bottom due to the wash action? | ||

But wait! There's more! I would guess that the dryer dial graphics dried up and peeled off the dial because of the combustion by-products making their way through the entire cabinet and exiting where there was any opening. Usually you see the paint on the glass discolored but that looks like it might be OK. Those gas pilots were just wicked to these beautiful dryers.
