Here's a Mini-Xylophone that someone went through the trouble and expense of to put in specially-modeled slant-front Westy dryers to let you know when your clothes are done:
Installed in place of a buzzer, bell or a single-key chime...
And notice how it takes a few "chimes" for a certain key to be finally hit--and only ONCE????!!!!--...

I was always pulling the fronts off Westinghouse dryers and removing the "HDIA" uint. AnyWestinghouse laundry trades always went to the scrap guy so I could be pretty careless...prying the panel off with a big screwdriver and often breaking the plastic and sometimes cutting my hands on the musical "instrument." Eventually I had a box of about 20 of them. I can't remember where they went...it was eons ago. |
