We can only see the top. Does it have the chrome trim around the top edge? The early 60's ones did. I recognize the console as one. My aunt had those, but in gas. |

This is a rare water cooled condensing dryer from the early 60s. These were based on MTs earlier dryer platform that they used before the HOH dryers came out.
We restored one about 20 years ago that we have here at the warehouse, these dryers work quite well and only use 1/3 gallon of water per minute. Hopefully someone will get this rare dryer. |

That is an amazing fact. I wasn't aware that Maytag made a condenser dryer.
Since I'm in Florida, shipping would be prohibitive. Otherwise that thing would have already been on it's way home to me! The curiosity factor alone is killing me. Good luck with the sale. Hopefully it will find a new home soon. -Alex
