Yes you're so right. I haven't seen those dryers in about 30-40 years.

Loved that Sliding Temperature control.

It was either Huebsch or Hoyt had the "LoadTrol" which adjusted the tumble speed of the dryer. The settings were 1-5... 1 being the slowest for one load of clothes 5 being the fastest for 5 Top Load machine loads.

They look a lot like Cissel dryers.

Those look like dryers we had in a local laundromat when I was a kid.  It was called "Mabel's Wishy Washy" and the dryers had a label on them that read "wishy sales."

Originally 10 cents for 10 minutes

A local coin-op had them. A neighbor with a Maytag washer, and no basement like our house, did not like dryers, but during our winter monsoons when she could not hang out, she would wash up everything and drive up there to dry everything but the lares and penates. Of course she would set the temperature to the highest setting to dry fastest and cheapest. Unfortunately, the residual Tide not rinsed out by the Maytag yellowed the whites in the high temperature and we would have to hear about it on the next ride to school.
