Had time last weekend for a quick trip to get this from John L. The matching washer is now in Australia, so it will have a Pen-Pal!. I put it on wheels like my other dryers, but the mounting holes are not made as well as the Maytag I put on wheels, so I had to reinforce 2 mounting holes with washers as there were torn out after tilting it upright. The drum has virtually no wear. I have to wait till the next load to try it out, and Im sure it will be a fun attraction at the next wash in. Thanks to Jason for help getting it in the back of the Traverse!

What kind of wheels do you put on these? I like the idea and will start doing it with mine. I'm sure it makes it a lot nicer to move these machines around.

Here the wheels...just make sure they fit the threads and be careful when you tip it upright after the wheels are installed

... let me know. That's my childhood dryer (c 1967 - 1975) and I loved it and the matching washer.

(My Mom actually wanted to buy farther up the food chain and get a keyboard W/D set but my Dad said "no - too many parts to break."

Lovely!

I hope to see it at your next wash-in!

I have taken a note from you and am putting my un-matched dryers on wheels. I can't do that with my matched dryers, as then their height wouldn't line up with their washers. I am afraid to put washers on wheels because of the potential for movement during the spin cycle.

Enjoy it!
Dave

Wheels are good for moving washers...not so good when use...I had the 1961 Laundromat on wheels until I found its final space in the collection..if it was run without a load, it was fine in wheels..great for testing purposes
