"To the person who's Flagging my post; What is the problem? Please Text me. this is a legitimate post. Thanks, Vivian.

Excellent Condition and Works Perfect! and will probably last at least another 40 years!

This is a Very RARE Dryer Indeed.

It was RCA - Whirlpool from about 1955 to 1965.

It's from around 1960 and still works perfect! If I didn't have a new gas dryer I would use this. (I may keep it anyway)

This is a 2-Speed Electric dryer that has a belt in the back that changed "Gears" when you flip the knob. Just put your cursor back and forth on the last 2 pics to see it change.

Variable Heat setting also by you adjusting to knob. It also features one of the first "Auto Shut Off".

If you look at the last pic it was the sticker that says "2 Speed"

I'm going to put it on E-Bay in a few weeks but want to give local collectors first chance.

CALL MikeAnd THANKS for Looking!

PS, I may be able to deliver and set it up too.

I'd guess it's 1964 or 1965.

Didn't this thing start out at $250 at least a year ago?

 

I could have sworn I just saw it posted for $75 the other day, but I might have confused it with another perennial listing.

It's funny the advertiser cared to take a few pictures of the blower speed changer!

I have a similar Canadian RCA dryer but those made here still had the v-belt blower drive of the earlier design and no speed changer. The control panel would be a closer match to the one of my washer.
