Safe! It's in the back of my truck now. It's crazy, but I'm going back for the GIANT freezer tomorrow. It's vertical, the kind where the shelves are the evaporator. It's some kind of Sears brand, figured to have been there for at least forty years. It even has a lock, with the key! | ||

A quick shot of the info on the back... Haven't unloaded it yet, but here's what looks like model number and such. Which apparently you guys could tell by seeing it :)

The serial number is visible when you open the door, that will tell the production date.
Mine is from 1973, yours is probably a bit older as the 906 model was discontinued by 1973 and yours still has the information about the push button 906 model on it's wiring diagram. I can't see if yours has the clear acrylic knob like mine or the earlier style metal knob.
I really like the look of the 1966 and newer center dial Maytags.

The Dryer The dryer does have the acrylic knob on the dial. I would presume that this was the original dryer to the house as well. Keith | ||

As you probably noticed, this dryer has no timer. It uses a moisture sensor (the metallic strips in the drum fins). The air fluff setting has a pre-programmed timed operation of a few minutes but I think it's timed electronically. The other cycles use the moisture sensor to determine the drying time, then a timed cool-down period ends the cycle. | ||

Electronics I haven't had a chance to really study the machine closely, but was scratching my head a bit while looking at the photo of the dial! These must employ some pretty rugged / simple electronic controls to last forty some years! It will be interesting to study for sure. Keith | ||

The freezer was made by Marvel/Imperial based on the Sears manufacturer code of 757. | ||
